Answer:

a) τ = 4.47746 * 10^25 N-m

b) E = 2.06301 * 10^13 J

c) P = 3.25511*10^21 W

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of earth r = 6.3781×10^6 m

The angular speed of earth w = 7.27*10^-5 rad/s

The time taken to reach above speed t = 5 yrs = 1.57784760 * 10^8 s

The mass of earth m = 5.972 × 10^24 kg

The inertia of sphere I = 2/5 * m* r^2

Solution:

angular acceleration of the earth from rest to w is given by α:

                               α = w / t

                               α = (7.27*10^-5) / (1.57784760 * 10^8)

                               α = 4.60754*10^-13 rad/s^2

The required torque τ is given by:

                               τ = I*α

                               τ = 2/5 * m* r^2 * α

 τ = 2/5 *(5.972 × 10^24) * (6.3781×10^6)^2 * (4.60754*10^-13)

 τ = 4.47746 * 10^25 N-m

Power required P to turn the earth to the speed w is:

                          P = τ*w

                          P = (4.47746 * 10^25)*(7.27*10^-5)

                          P = 3.25511*10^21 W

Energy E required is :

                          E = P / t

                          E = (3.25511*10^21) / (1.57784760 * 10^8)

                          E = 2.06301 * 10^13 J

A large piece of jewelry has a mass of 130.8 g. A graduated cylinder initially contains 47.7 mL water. When the jewelry is subme
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: The density of this piece of jewelry is 8.90g/cm^3

Explanation:

To calculate the density, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Mass of piece of jewellery = 130.8 g

Density of piece of jewellery = ?

Volume of piece of jewellery =( 62.4-47.7 ) ml = 14.7 ml = 14.7cm^3   1cm^3=1ml

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Density of piece of jewellery}=\frac{130.8g}{14.7cm^3}=8.90g/cm^3

Thus density of this piece of jewelry is 8.90g/cm^3
