Answer:

I = 97.2 10³⁶ kg m²

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of a body the expression of inertia in the rotational movement and is described by the expression

      I = ∫ r² dm

In this problem we are told to use the moment of inertia of a uniform sphere, the expression of this moment of inertia is

     I = 2/5 M r²

where m is the mass of the earth and r is the radius of the earth.

Let's calculate

      I = 2/5  5.97 10²⁴ (6.38 10⁶)²

      I = 97.2 10³⁶ kg m²

A 1.5m wire carries a 3 A current when a potential difference of 86 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?
Iteru [2.4K]
We know, R = V / I
Here, V = 86 V
I = 3 A

Substitute their values, 
R = 86 / 3
R = 28.67 Ohm

In short, Your Answer would be 28.67 Ohms

Hope this helps!

Which of the following would be a good question that could be scientifically investigated? What is the best advice a parent can
Nesterboy [21]
<span>"Does lack of sunlight affect plant growth?"

This question can be investigated with procedures according to
the Scientific Method, because "lack of sunlight" can be arranged
unambiguously, and "affected plant growth" can be identified
unambiguously.

The other questions involve words or phrases with ambiguous definitions,
that can mean different things to different people, and would be hard to
agree on, like  "</span><span>best advice",  "sound quality",  and  "happiness in life".</span>
