1) The mass of the continent is 2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg

2) The kinetic energy of the continent is 274.8 J

3) The speed of the jogger must be 2.76 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The continent is a slab of side 5900 km (so the surface is 5900 x 5900, assuming it is a square) and depth 26 km, therefore its volume is:

V=(36)(4600)^2=7.62\cdot 10^8 km^3 = 7.62\cdot 10^{17} m^3

The mass of the continent is given by

m=\rho V

where:

\rho = 2790 kg/m^3 is its density

V=7.62\cdot 10^{17} m^3 is its volume

Substituting, we find the mass:

m=(2790)(7.62\cdot 10^{17})=2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg

2)

To find the kinetic energy, we need to convert the speed of the continent into m/s first.

The speed is

v = 1.6 cm/year

And we have:

1.6 cm = 0.016 m

1 year = (365)(24)(60)(60)=3.15\cdot 10^7 s

So, the speed is

v=\frac{0.016 m}{3.15 \cdot 10^7 s}=5.08\cdot 10^{-10}m/s

Now we can find the kinetic energy of the continent, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m=2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg is the mass

v=5.08\cdot 10^{-10}m/s is the speed

Substituting,

K=\frac{1}{2}(2.13\cdot 10^{21})(5.08\cdot 10^{-10})^2=274.8 J

3)

The jogger in this part has the same kinetic energy of the continent, so

K = 274.8 J

And its mass is

m = 72 kg

We can write his kinetic energy as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

v is the speed of the man

And solving the equation for v, we find his speed:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(274.8)}{72}}=2.76 m/s

The work done by the centripetal force during om complete revolution is 401.92 J.

<h3>What is centripetal force?</h3>

Centripetal force is a force that acts on a body undergoing a circular motion and is directed towards the center of the circle in which the body is moving.

To Calculate the work done by the centripetal force during one complete revolution, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • W = (mv²/r)2πr
  • W = 2πmv²................... Equation 1

Where:

  • W = Work done by the centripetal force
  • m = mass of the ball
  • v = velocity of the ball
  • π = pie

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 16 kg
  • v = 2 m/s
  • π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • W = 2×3.14×16×2²
  • W = 401.92 J

Hence, The work done by the centripetal force during om complete revolution is 401.92 J.

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the workdone by Ryan?​
Xelga [282]
<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the work done by Ryan?

<h2><u>Answer:</u><u>-</u></h2>

<h3>Given,</h3>

=> Force applied by Ryan = 10N

=> Distance covered by the book after applying force = 30 cm

<h3>And,</h3>

30 cm = 0.3 m (distance)

<h3>So,</h3>

=> Work done = Force × Distance

=> 10 × 0.3

=> 3 Joules

\small \boxed{work \: done \:  by \: Ryan \:  = 3 \: Joules}

A 50.0 Watt stereo emits sound waves isotropically at a wavelength of 0.700 meters. This stereo is stationary, but a person in a
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

a) f' = 432 Hz

b) I = 8.12*10^-4 W/m^2

Explanation:

a) To calculate the frequency of sound waves that car receives, you take into account the Doppler effect. In this case (observer moves away of the source) you have the following formula:

f'=f(\frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s})    (1)

where

f: frequency of the source = ?

v: speed of sound = 343 m/s

vo: speed of the observer = 40.0 m/s

vs: speed of the source = 0 m/s (stationary)

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

To calculate f' you first calculate the frequency of the sound wave, by using the following formula:

v=\lambda f\\\\

v: speed of sound

λ: wavelength = 0.700 m

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{343m/s}{0.700m}=480Hz

Next, you replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

f'=(490Hz)(\frac{343m/s-40.0m/s}{343m/s})=432Hz

hence, the frequency perceived by the car is 432 Hz

b) To calculate the power of the sound wave, when the car is 70.0 maway from the speaker, you use the following formula:

I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

P: power of the source = 50.0 W

r: distance to the source = 70.0 m

I=\frac{50.0 W}{4\pi(70.0m)^2}=8.12*10^{-4}\frac{W}{m^2}

hence, the intensity is 8.12*10^⁻4 W/m^2

Earth is about 93 million miles from the Sun but only 239,000 miles from the Moon. Likewise, the Sun has a mass that is over 20
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Gravity is dependent on the mass of two bodies and the distance between them. There is a strong gravitational attraction between Earth and the Moon because they’re relatively close to one another. There is a strong gravitational attraction between Earth and the Sun because the Sun is so massive
