Planets are not uniform inside. Normally, they are densest at the center and have decreasing density outward toward the surface.

Model a spherically symmetric planet, with the same radius as the earth, as having a density that decreases linearly with distance from the center. Let the density be 1.30×104 kg/m3 at the center and 2100 kg/m3 at the surface. Part A What is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of this planet?

Answer:

g=13.42\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

1) Notation and info given

\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3} represent the density at the center of the planet

\rho_{surface}=2100 \frac{kg}{m^3} represent the densisty at the surface of the planet

r represent the radius

r_{earth}=6.371x10^{6}m represent the radius of the Earth

2) Solution to the problem

So we can use a model to describe the density as function of  the radius

r=0, \rho(0)=\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}

r=6.371x10^{6}m, \rho(6.371x10^{6}m)=\rho_{surface}=2100 \frac{kg}{m^3}

So we can create a linear model in the for y=b+mx, where the intercept b=\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3} and the slope would be given by m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}-0}

So then our linear model would be

\rho (r)=\rho_{center}+\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}}r

Since the goal for the problem is find the gravitational acceleration we need to begin finding the total mass of the planet, and for this we can use a finite element and spherical coordinates. The volume for the differential element would be dV=r^2 sin\theta d\phi d\theta dr.

And the total mass would be given by the following integral

M=\int \rho (r) dV

Replacing dV we have the following result:

M=\int_{0}^{2\pi}d\phi \int_{0}^{\pi}sin\theta d\theta \int_{0}^{r_{earth}}(r^2 \rho_{center}+\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}}r)

We can solve the integrals one by one and the final result would be the following

M=4\pi(\frac{r^3_{earth}\rho_{center}}{3}+\frac{r^4_{earth}}{4} \frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}})

Simplyfind this last expression we have:

M=\frac{4\pi\rho_{center}r^3_{earth}}{3}+\pi r^3_{earth}(\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center})

M=\pi r^3_{earth}(\frac{4}{3}\rho_{center}+\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center})

M=\pi r^3_{earth}[\rho_{surface}+\frac{1}{3}\rho_{center}]

And replacing the values we got:

M=\pi (6.371x10^{6}m)^2(\frac{1}{3}13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}+2100 \frac{kg}{m^3})=8.204x10^{24}kg

And now that for any shape the gravitational acceleration is given by:

g=\frac{MG}{r^2_{earth}}=\frac{(6.67408x10^{-11}\frac{m^3}{kgs^2})*8.204x10^{24}kg}{(6371000m)^2}=13.48\frac{m}{s^2}

Boron coated with SiC (or Borsic) reinforced aluminum containing aligned 20 vol% fibers is an important high-temperature, lightw
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Modulus of elasticity of the composite perpendicular to the fibers = (12 × 10⁶) psi

Explanation:

For combination of materials, the properties (especially physical properties) of the resulting composite is a sum of the fractional contribution of each material thay makes up the composite.

In this composite,

The fibres = 20 vol%

Aluminium = 80 vol%

Modulus of elasticity of the composite

= [0.2 × E(fibres)] + [0.8 × E(Al)]

Modulus of elasticity of the fibers = E(fibres) = (55 × 10⁶) psi. =

Modulus of elasticity of aluminum = E(Al) = (10 × 10⁶) psi.

But modulus of elasticity of the composite perpendicular to the fibers is given in the expression.

[1 ÷ E(perpendicular)]

= [0.2 ÷ E(fibres)] + [0.8 ÷ E(Al)]

[1 ÷ E(perpendicular)]

= [0.2 ÷ (55 × 10⁶)] + [0.8 ÷ (10 × 10⁶)]

= (3.636 × 10⁻⁹) + (8.00 × 10⁻⁸)

= (8.3636 × 10⁻⁸)

E(perpendicular) = 1 ÷ (8.3636 × 10⁻⁸)

= 11,961,722.5 psi = (11.96 × 10⁶) psi

= (12 × 10⁶) psi

Hope this Helps!!!

A tow truck exerts a net horizontal force of 1050 N on a 760-kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?
vovikov84 [41]
We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
F=ma
where
F is the net force applied to the object
m is the object's mass
a is the acceleration of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the car is F=1050 N, while the mass of the car is m=760 kg. Therefore, we can rearrange the equation and put these numbers in, in order to find the acceleration of the car:
a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1050 N}{760 kg}=1.4 m/s^2

The equation also tells us that the acceleration and the force have same directions: therefore, since the force exerted on the car is horizontal, the correct answer is
<span>B) 1.4 m/s2 horizontally.</span>

An adult human is 60 percent water; a third of this water is in extracellular fluid, and 20 percent of extracellular fluid is in
Yanka [14]

Answer:

32 pounds

Explanation:

The amount of water in the 200 pound person is

200 * 60% = 200*0.6 = 120 pounds

Of the 120 pounds, a third of this is extracellular fluid, the amount of extracellular fluid is

120 / 3 = 40 pounds

20 % of this is in the blood, which amounts to

40 * 20% = 40 * 0.2 = 8 pounds

The rest is interstitial fluid, which is

40 - 8 = 32 pounds
