Answer:

c. metals are heavier than rocky material and the metals sank to the core when the Earth was molten.

Explanation:

When the sun formed after the collapse of a large giant molecular clouds (GMC) it caused an immense generation of heat and pushed away most of the low-density materials, but heavier elements remained. This heat vaporized the material around the sun.

The heating resulted in the formation of melted zones where high density elements melted and moved towards the core. This resulted in the planetary differentiation of Earth.

A seesaw is 4.0m long with a pivot at its midpoint. A boy who weighs 400N sits at a distance of 1.5m from the pivot. His sister

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the seesaw, L = 4.0 m

weight of the boy, W₁ = 400 N

position of the boy from the pivot, d₁ = 1.5 m

weight of her sister, W₂ = 300 N

First, make a sketch of this information given;

0---0.5m---------------------Δ--------------------------4m

↓<--------1.5m-------> <---------x--------->↓

400 N 300N

Apply the principle of moment about the pivot, to determine the value of x;

Sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment

400(1.5) = 300(x)

600 = 300x

x = 600/300

x = 2 cm

Thus, the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

A barge ﬂoating in fresh water (p = 1000 kg/m3) is shaped like a hollow rectangular prism with base area A = 550 m2 and height H

Karolina [17]

Answer:

a) $\Delta m = 330000\,kg$ , b) $h = 1.268\,m$

Explanation:

a) According the Archimedes' Principle, the buoyancy force is equal to the displaced weight of surrounding liquid. The mass of the coal in the barge is:

$\Delta m \cdot g = \rho_{w}\cdot g \cdot \Delta V$
