Planets are not uniform inside. Normally, they are densest at the center and have decreasing density outward toward the surface.

Model a spherically symmetric planet, with the same radius as the earth, as having a density that decreases linearly with distance from the center. Let the density be 1.60 x 10^4 kg/m^3 at the center and 2100 kg/m^3 at the surface.
What is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of this planet?

Answer:

a = 9.94 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

density at center= 1.6 x 10⁴ kg/m³

density at the surface = 2100 Kg/m³

volume mass density as function of distance

\rho(r) = ar^2 - br^3

r is the radius of the spherical shell

dr is the thickness

volume of shell

dV = 4 \pi r^2 dr

mass of shell

dM = \rho(r)dV

\rho = \rho_0 - br

now,

dM = (\rho_0 - br)(4 \pi r^2)dr

integrating both side

M = \int_0^{R} (\rho_0 - br)(4 \pi r^2)dr

M = \dfrac{4\pi}{3}R^3\rho_0 - \pi R^4(\dfrac{\rho_0-\rho}{R})

M = \pi R^3(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho)

we know,

a = \dfrac{GM}{R^2}

a = \dfrac{G( \pi R^3(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho))}{R^2}

a =\pi RG(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho)

a =\pi (6.674\times 10^{-11}\times 6.38 \times 10^6)(\dfrac{1.60\times 10^4}{3}+2.1\times 10^3)

a = 9.94 m/s²

Why do our eyes see the color red when we look at a tomato?
forsale [732]

Answer:

B. Tomatos reflect red light

Explanation:

The only reason colors exist is because the objects with color reflect all other light except for what they are portrayed as. White reflects all colors, and black absorbs all colors.

A simple pendulum is made from a 0.54-m-long string and a small ball attached to its free end. The ball is pulled to one side th
Serga [27]

Answer:

0.37sec

Explanation:

Period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length L is:

T = 2 π × √ (L /g)

L=length of string 0.54m

g=acceleration due to gravity

T-period

T = 2 x 3.14 x √[0.54/9.8]

T = 1.47sec

An oscillating pendulum, or anything else in nature that involves "simple harmonic" (sinusoidal) motion, spends 1/4 of its period going from zero speed to maximum speed, and another 1/4 going from maximum speed to zero speed again, etc. After four quarter-periods it is back where it started.

The ball will first have V(max) at T/4,

=>V(max) = 1.47/4 = 0.37 sec

Locate the complete verbal phrase and identify its type.
Ksju [112]
<span>won
adjective

Verb phrases are verbs that may function as a predicate, adjective, or adverb. </span>

(a) "That he said" is an adjective modifying "word". However, this contains the s ubject"he" and the verb "said". It is a clause and NOT a phrase. Phrases can only have either a verb or a noun.
<span>(b) There's only one verb "was" but it does not come with a complement, object, modifier, or other verb. Hence, it's NOT a verb phrase. </span>
<span>(c) "Shall be" consists of the modal shall and the be-verb be. This is a perfect example of a verb phrase that functions as a VERB PHRASE. </span>
<span>(d) "Roared" and "charged" are two verbs referring to different subjects. They do not come with a complement, object, modifier, or another verb. Hence, they're NOT a verb phrase. "As the bull charged" is a clause and not a phrase.</span>
