The Earth can be approximated as a sphere of uniform density, rotating on its axis once a day. The mass of the Earth is 5.97×102

4 kg , the radius of the Earth is 6.38×106 m , and the period of rotation for the Earth is 24.0 hrs . Part A What is the moment of inertia of the Earth? Use the uniform-sphere approximation described in the introduction. Express your answer in kilogram meters squared to three significant figures. View Available Hint(s)

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

The GPE of a 70kg person standing on a chair 1m off the ground is how many joules?
Artemon [7]
GPE I am assuming is gravitational potential energy. I'll denote it as U for simplicity. 

U = mgy
U = (70kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1m) = 686.7J

U = 686.7J

Hope this helps!

Calculate the mass of an ice block of volume 12m³. the density of the ice is 920kg/m³.​
beks73 [17]

Mass = density • volume

so (12)(920)(kg/m^3•m^3)

11040 kg

Arrange the following events in the mantle convection process. Use numbers 1-5.
finlep [7]

Answer:

1) Lithospheric plates move in the asthenosphere due to rising and sinking of materials is 1.

2) The decomposition of radioactive elements causes heat in the interior part of the Earth

3) Heat slowly rises to the mantle and creates convection current.

4). Heat moves to the core

5) The process repeats as cycle.

Explanation:

Mantle convection is the gradual slow creeping of movement of the Earth's mantle which is as a result of convection current which transfer heat from the interior to the surface of the Earth .

The process of mantle convection start with

1. Lithospheric plates move in the asthenosphere due to rising and sinking of materials is and thus form the two component of the mantle.

2) The decomposition of radioactive elements causes heat in the interior part of the Earth. This is as a result of accretion which is associated to sea flooding

3) Heat slowly rises to the mantle and creates convection current.

4). Heat moves to the core, cools down by conduction and convection of heat.

5) The process repeats as cycle.
