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

Suppose there are 100,000 atoms of a radioactive substance that has a ½ life of 10 minutes. How many atoms will remain after 40
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

c. 12,500

Explanation:

Original number of atoms = 100,000 atoms

Half- life  = 10min

Unknown:

The number of atoms that will remain after 10min  = ?

Solution:

The half - life is the time taken for half of a radioactive substance to decay by half.

    Time taken        Number of atom   half life

           10min             100000                   _

           20min             50000                    1

           30min             25000                    2

           40min              12500                     3

A 0.1 kg beach ball hit me moving forward at 4 m/s. After hitting me, it bounced back moving at the same speed
xenn [34]

0.4 N-s is the "impulse" acted on the "beach ball".

Option: C

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the "beach ball" is 0.1 kg.

The speed of the ball hits is 4 m/s.

We know that,

Whenever an object is collide with other object then an impulse is acted on object, this "impulse" causes "change in momentum".

Impulse acted on the beach ball is "mass" times "velocity".

Impulse = mass × velocity

Impulse = 0.1 × 4

Impulse = 0.4 kg m/s

Impulse = 0.4 N-s

Therefore, the "impulse" acted on the ball is 0.4 N-s.

Ethan pushes a wooden box across a carpeted floor.Then he pushes the same box across a smooth marble floor.Why does Ethan find i
Alexandra [31]
The carpeted floor has a rough surface and hence produce greater friction while the marble floor is smoother thus generating a smaller friction.

What is the maximum number of atoms that can be bonded in an ionic bond
Dima020 [189]

A maximum of four bonds can be used between two atoms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionic bond is one of the strongest bond used in chemical reaction where the valence electrons are bonded and shared between the atoms. Sometimes four covalent bonds between two atoms might make them unstable as the bonds are formed in their outermost shell to make them to form or complete a total of 8 in their shell. For example carbon has 3 as maximum.
