<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>
Density
is defined as a relation between mass
and volume
:
(1)
Where:
is the average density of the continent
is the mass of the continent
is the volume of the continent, which can be estimated is we assume it as a a slab of rock 5300 km on a side and 37 km deep:

Finding the mass:
(2)
(3)
(4) This is the mass of the continent
<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>
Kinetic energy
is given by the following equation:
(5)
Where:
is the mass of the continent
is the velocity of the continent
(6)
(7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent
<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>
If we have a jogger with mass
and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent
, we can find its velocity by isolating
from (5):
(6)
Finally:
This is the speed of the jogger
The Hooke's law is a principal of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance x scales linearly with respect to that distance.

Explanation:
Given that an electron revolves around the hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius r = 0.053 nm = 0.053
m.
Part (a):
According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two charged particles of charges
and
respectively is given by

where,
= Coulomb's constant = 
= distance of separation between the charges.
For the given system,
The Hydrogen atom consists of a single proton, therefore, the charge on the Hydrogen atom, 
The charge on the electron, 
These two are separated by the distance, 
Thus, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

Part (b):
The gravitational force of attraction between two objects of masses
and
respectively is given by

where,
= Universal Gravitational constant = 
= distance of separation between the masses.
For the given system,
The mass of proton, 
The mass of the electron, 
Distance between the two, 
Thus, the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

The ratio
:

Answer:
R = 5.28 103 km
Explanation:
The definition of density is
ρ = m / V
V = m /ρ
Where m is the mass and V the volume of the body
The volume of a sphere is
V = 4/3 π r³
Let's replace
4/3 π r³ = m / ρ
R =∛ ¾ m / ρ π
The mass of the planet is
M = 5.5 Me
R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 Me /ρ π
Let's reduce the density to SI units
ρ = 1.76 g / cm³ (1 kg / 10³ g) (10² cm / 1 m)³
ρ = 1.76 10³ kg / m³
Let's calculate
R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 5.97 10²⁴ / (1.76 10³ pi)
R = ∛ 0.14723 10²¹
R = 0.528 10⁷ m
R = 0.528 104 km
R = 5.28 103 km
Answer:
It's 1.0000042 times longer in summer than in winter. It represents a 1.6 centimeters difference between seasons.
Explanation:
The linear coefficient of thermal expansion for steel is about
. From the equation of linear thermal expansion, we have:

Taking the winter day as the initial, and the summer day as the final, we can take the relationship between them:
![L_{summer}=L_{winter}[1+(1.2*10^{-7}\°C^{-1})(30\°C+5\°C)]\\\\L_{summer}=(1.0000042)L_{winter}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=L_%7Bsummer%7D%3DL_%7Bwinter%7D%5B1%2B%281.2%2A10%5E%7B-7%7D%5C%C2%B0C%5E%7B-1%7D%29%2830%5C%C2%B0C%2B5%5C%C2%B0C%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CL_%7Bsummer%7D%3D%281.0000042%29L_%7Bwinter%7D)
It means that the bridge is 1.0000042 times longer in summer than in winter. If we multiply it by the length of the bridge, we obtain that the difference is of about 1.6 centimeters between the two seasons.
