Because of tectonics plates and the top aka surface of the earth is where the pressure is released and the reactions occur for example the roads splitting... this is just how i would answer it.

The superheroine Xanaxa, who has a mass of 68.1 kg , is pursuing the 75.3 kg archvillain Lexlax. She leaps from the ground to th
Alexandra [31]

The concept required to solve this problem is associated with potential energy. Recall that potential energy is defined as the product between mass, gravity, and change in height. Mathematically it can be described as

U = mg\Delta h

Here,

\Delta h = Change in height

m = mass of super heroine

g = Acceleration due to gravity

The change in height will be,

\Delta h = h_f - h_i

The final position of the heroin is below the ground level,

h_f = -16.1m

The initial height will be the zero point of our system of reference,

\Delta h = -16.1m-0m

\Delta h = -16.1m

Replacing all this values we have,

U = mg\Delta h

U = (68.1kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-16.1m)

U = -10744.81J

Since the final position of the heroine is located below the ground, there will net loss of gravitational potential energy of 10744.81J

A white dwarf star has a density of about 1.0 x 10^9 kg/m3. If the earth were to suddenly become as dense as a white dwarf star,
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

R = 98304.75 m = 98.3 km

Explanation:

The density of an object is given as the ratio between the mass of that object and the volume occupied by that object.

Density = Mass/Volume

Now, it is given that the density of Earth has become:

Density = 1 x 10⁹ kg/m³

Mass = Mass of Earth (Constant) = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

Volume = 4/3πR³ (Volume of Sphere)

R = Radius of Earth = ?

Therefore,

1 x 10⁹ kg/m³ = (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg)/[4/3πR³]

4/3πR³ = (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg)/(1 x 10⁹ kg/m³)

R³ = (3/4)(5.97 x 10¹⁵ m³)/π

R = ∛[0.95 x 10¹⁵ m³]

<u>R = 98304.75 m = 98.3 km</u>

The planet in our solar system whose orbit actually brings it inside the orbit of another planet is
Ber [7]

Answer:

Pluto

Explanation:

In our solar system, we have several planet. Pluto is one of the. Pluto is a planet that is highly oval shaped orbit and eccentric that brings it inside the another orbit. It get inside the orbit of Neptune. Sometimes even Neptune get far away from sun in comparison to the dwarf planet Pluto.

It is very strange happening in the world of planet. it occurs in the year of 1979 and 1999. But Pluto never ever crashed into Neptune. It happen because Neptune takes every three lapse that takes around the sun but Pluto makes only two lapse. This happening prevents two bodies from clashes.
