Find a numerical value for rhoearth, the average density of the earth in kilograms per cubic meter. Use 6378km for the radius of

the earth, G=6.67×10−11m3/(kg⋅s2), and a value of g at the surface of 9.80m/s2.Express your answer to three significant figures.

Answer:

density = 5520 kg/m^3

Explanation:

given that

radius of earth = 6378 km

G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ m³/kg.s²

g = 9.80 m/s²

we know,

g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}

mass of earth

M = \dfrac{gr^2}{G}

M = \dfrac{9.8 \times (6378 \times 10^3)^2}{6.67 \times 10^{-11}}

M = 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg

density =\dfrac{mass}{volume}

V = volume of the earth = 4/3πr³

V = 4/3 x 3.14 x (6378  x 10³)³

V = 1.08 x 10²¹ m³

density = \dfrac{5.972\times 10^{24}}{1.08\times 10^{21}}

density = 5.52 x 10³  kg/m^3

density = 5520 kg/m^3

find the average velocity of a bicycle that starts 100km south and is 120km south of town after 0.4 hours​
dusya [7]

Answer:

The average velocity is 50 km/h south

Explanation:

The average velocity of an object is its total displacement divided by

the total time taken.

That means it is the rate at which an object changes its position from

one place to another.

Average velocity is a vector quantity.

The SI unit is meters per second.

A bicycle that starts 100 km south and is 120 km south of town after

0.4 hour​.

The displacement = 120 - 100 = 20 km south

The time = 0.4 hour

The average velocity = \frac{D}{T}, where D is the displacement

and t is the time

The average velocity of the bicycle = \frac{20}{0.4}=50 km/h

<em>The average velocity is 50 km/h south</em>

If you want it in meter per second, change the kilometer to meter

and change the hour to seconds

1 km = 1000 m

1 hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds

The average velocity of the bicycle = \frac{50(1000)}{3600}=13.89 m/s south

Explain, step by step, how to calculate the amount of current (I) that will go through the resistor in this circuit
anygoal [31]

Answer:

0.03 A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistor (R) = 470 Ω

Current (I) =?

From ohm's law, the voltage, current and resistor are related by the following formula:

Voltage = current × resistor

V = IR

With the above formula, we can obtain the current in the circuit as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistor (R) = 470 Ω

Current (I) =?

V = IR

12 = I × 470

Divide both side by 470

I = 12 / 470

I = 0.03 A

Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.03 A

What is one advantage of using electromagnets instead of permanent magnets
zimovet [89]
The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.

In which one of the following situations is zero net work done? A) A ball rolls down an inclined plane. B) A physics student str
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.  

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.
