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

A photon is absorbed by an electron that is in the n = 3 state of a hydrogen atom, causing the hydrogen atom to become ionized.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

\lambda=3.99*10^{-7}m

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the energy of the absorbed photon must be equal to the binding energy of the electron plus the energy of the released electron:

E_p=E_b+E_r\\\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{13.6eV}{n^2}+\frac{m_ev^2}{2}

1 eV is equal to 1.6*10^{-19}J, so:

13.6eV*\frac{1.6*10^{-19}J}{1eV}=2.18*10^{-18}J

Solving for \lambda and replacing the given values:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{\frac{2.18*10^{-18}J}{n^2}+\frac{m_ev^2}{2}}\\\lambda=\frac{6.63*10^{-134}J\cdot s(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{\frac{2.18*10^{-18}J}{3^2}+\frac{(9.11*10^{-31}kg)(7.5*10^5\frac{m}{s})^2}{2}}\\\lambda=3.99*10^{-7}m

A 20 kg object is dropped from a very tall building. What is the weight of this objects? After 5 seconds, how has the object fal
prohojiy [21]

1. What is the weight of this objects?

Weight is simply the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. Therefore the weight is:

w = 20 kg * 9.81 m/s^2

w = 196.2 kg m/s^2 = 196.2 N

 

2. After 5 seconds, how has the object fallen and what is its speed at this instant?

We can use the formula:

<span>y = v0 t  + 0.5 g t^2</span>

v = v0 + g t

where v0 = 0 since the object starts from rest, y is the distance it fell, t is time

y = 0 + 0.5 * 9.81 * 5^2 = 122.625 m

<span>v = 0 + 9.81 * 5 = 49.05 m/s</span>
