Assuming that 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered with water at average depth of 0.95 mi, estimate the mass of the wate

r on Earth. One mile is approximately 1.609 km and the radius of the earth is 6.37 × 10^6 m. Answer in units of kg. Your answer must be within ± 20.0%

Answer:

The mass of the water on earth is 5.4537\times10^{20}\ kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Average depth h= 0.95 mi

h=0.95\times1.609

h =1.528\ km

h=1.528\times10^{3}\ m

Radius of earth r= 6.37\times10^{6}\ m

Density = 1000 kg/m³

We need to calculate the area of surface

Using formula of area

A =4\pi r^2

Put the value into the formula

A=4\pi\times(6.37\times10^{6})^2

A=5.099\times10^{14}\ m^2

We need to calculate the volume of earth

V = Area\times height

Put the value into the formula

V=5.099\times10^{14}\times1.528\times10^{3}

V=7.791\times10^{17}\ m^3

Now, 70 % volume of the total volume

V= 7.791\times10^{17}\times\dfrac{70}{100}

V=5.4537\times10^{17}\ m^3

We need to calculate the mass of the water on earth

Using formula of density

\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}

m = \rho\times V

Put the value into the formula

m=1000\times5.4537\times10^{17}

m =5.4537\times10^{20}\ kg

Hence, The mass of the water on earth is 5.4537\times10^{20}\ kg

A balloon filled with helium gas has an average density of Q,-0.41 kg/m'. The density of the air is Qa-1.23 kg/m3. The volume of
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

a) (Qa*g*Vb)-(Qh*Vb*g)=(Qh*Vb*a)\\where \\g=gravity [m/s^2]\\a=acceleration [m/s^2]

b) a = 19.61[m/s^2]

Explanation:

The total mass of the balloon is:

massball=densityheli*volumeheli\\\\massball=0.41 [kg/m^3]*0.048[m^3]\\massball=0.01968[kg]\\\\

The buoyancy force acting on the balloon is:

Fb=densityair*gravity*volumeball\\Fb=1.23[kg/m^3]*9.81[m/s^2]*0.048[m^3]\\Fb=0.579[N]

Now we need to make a free body diagram where we can see the forces that are acting over the balloon and determinate the acceleration.

In the attached image we can see the free body diagram and the equation deducted by Newton's second law

Two cars A and B are moving with velocities 20 m/s and 15 m/s in the direction east and west respectively. If
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

<u>Distance</u><u> </u><u>between</u><u> </u><u>them</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>4</u><u>,</u><u>2</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>meters</u><u>.</u>

Explanation:

Consinder car A:

{ \bf{distance =  speed \times time }}

substitute:

distance = 20 \times (2 \times 60) \\  = 2400 \: m

Consider car B:

distance = 15 \times (2 \times 60) \\  = 1800 \: m

since these cars move in opposite directions, distance between them is their summation:

distance \: between = { \sum(distance \: of \: each \: car)} \\  = 2400 + 1800 \\  = 4200 \: m

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
sleet_krkn [62]

-- Accelerating at the rate of 8 m/s², Andy's speed
   after 30 seconds is

                                   (8 m/s²) x (30.0 s)  =  240 m/s .

-- His average speed during that time is

                                 (1/2) (0 + 240 m/s)  =  120 m/s .

-- In 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s,
   Andy will travel a distance of
                                                 (120 m/s) x (30 sec) = 3,600 m

                                                                                = 3.6 km .

"But how ? ! ?", you ask.

How in the world can Andy leave a stop light and then
cover 3.6 km = 2.24 miles in the next 30 seconds ?

The answer is:  His acceleration of  8 m/s², or about  0.82 G
is what does it for him.

At that rate of acceleration ...

-- Andy achieves "Zero to 60 mph" in 3.35 seconds,
   and then he keeps accelerating.

-- He hits 100 mph in 5.59 seconds after jumping the light ...
   and then he keeps accelerating.

-- He hits 200 mph in 11.2 seconds after jumping the light ...
   and then he keeps accelerating.

-- After accelerating at 8 m/s² for 30 seconds, Andy and his
   car are moving at  537 miles per hour !
   We really don't know whether he keeps accelerating,
    but we kind of doubt it. 

A couple of observations in conclusion:

-- We can't actually calculate his displacement with the information given.
   Displacement is the distance and direction between the starting- and
   ending-points, and we're not told whether Andy maintains a straight line
   during this tense period, or is all over the road, adding great distance
   but not a lot of displacement.

-- It's also likely that sometime during this performance, he is pulled
   over to the side by an alert cop in a traffic-control helicopter, and
   never actually succeeds in accomplishing the given description.
