An object’s average density rho is defined as the ratio of its mass to its volume: rho=M/V. The earth’s mass is 5.94×1024kg, and

its volume is 1.08×1012km3. What is the earth’s average density?

Answer:

The answer to your question is 5.5 x 10¹² kg/km³

Explanation:

Data

density = rho = X

mass = 5.94 x 10²⁴ kg

volume = 1.08 x 10¹² km³

Process

To solve this problem use the density formula and simplify it to find the result.

Formula

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Substitution

density = \frac{5.94 x 10^{24} }{1.08 x 10^{12}}

Simplification and result

density = 5.5 x 10¹² kg/km³

Which is a characteristic that makes electromagnetic waves and water waves different
Paraphin [41]
We know that a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space There are two main types of waves: Mechanical and Electromagnetic. Water waves are mechanical. A mechanical wave is an oscillation of matter to transfers energy, but you always need a medium (substance such as: solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to transport it. The medium for water waves is, in fact, the water. For example, ripple in water is a surface wave. On the other hand, electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to transport, they can do it through the empty space. Then, this is the major characteristic that makes these two types of waves different.

While walking along the shore of a lake Travis felt a cold breeze. What type of heat energy transfer is this an example of?
AfilCa [17]
Out of the 3 types of heat transfer, this scenario would be most likely to be an example of convection.

Convection is where the transferring of heat is resulted through the movements of fluid, but in this case it is air. What happens is that when a part of the whole mass of air is heated, the hotter air rises and the cooler air descends and takes place of the hotter air before it was heated. Then, the cooler air becomes hotter and the hotter air before becomes the cooler air of both, which then results to the repeat of the exchange of places. This creates a motion until the whole mass has achieved mutual temperature, the heat source has stopped or extinguished, or there is a shift of temperature.

Why are you able to observe the Doppler effect on earth with sound waves but not with light waves?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: When an ambulance passes with its siren blaring, you hear the pitch of the siren change: as it approaches, the siren’s pitch sounds higher than when it is moving away from you. This change is a common physical demonstration of the Doppler effect.

Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

The combined displacement is 2km north


<u>Explanation</u>


Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.


Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.


We now add to obtain,

4+-2+5+-5

This will simplify to

=4-2+5-5=2

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north

An object travels with a constant speed in a circular path. The net force on the object is
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

toward the center

Explanation:

Before answering, let's remind the first two Newton Laws:

1) An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object moving at constant velocity tends to continue its motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon a net force

2) An object acted upon a net force F experiences an acceleration a according to the equation

F=ma

where m is the mass of the object.

In this problem, we have an object travelling at constant speed in a circular path. The fact that the trajectory of the object is circular means that the direction of motion of the object is constantly changing: this means that its velocity is changing, so it has an acceleration. And therefore, a net force is acting on it. The force that keeps the object travelling in the circular path is called centripetal force, and it is directed towards the center of the circle (because it prevents the object from continuing its motion straight away).

So, the correct answer is

toward the center
