How does the density of steel compare to the density of water

I'm very confused on this home work question How did magnetism 'drive' the theory of plate tectonics?

kondor19780726 [428]

When Alfred Wegener proposed the idea the continents could move, other scientists scoffed. ... Plate tectonics -- the concept the continents are rockplates moving on the magma underneath -- is now accepted.Magnetism is part of the evidence forplate tectonic theory.

Consider two children sitting on a merry-go-round, with one closer to the outer edge and one closer to the center. show answer N

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

They both have the same angular speed.

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for angular speed is:

$w=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

where $w$ is angular speed, $2\pi$ is a constant, and $T$ is the period (the time it takes the marry-go-round to complete a lap).

What we can see from the formula is that, since the $2\pi$ does not change its value, the angular speed depends only on the period T.

In this case for both the children closer to the outher edge and for the children closer to the center, the time to complete a lap is the same, because the time does not depend on where they are sitting in the marry go round. This means that the period for both is the same.

Thus, since the period for both is the same, the angular speed given by

$w=\frac{2\pi}{T}$ will also be the same

The cannon on a battleship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 36.0 km.

Paraphin [41]

(a)The initial velocity of the shell will be 594.27 m/sec

(b)The maximum height it reaches will be 9000 m.

c)101.249 m meters lower will its surface be 36.0 km from the ship along a horizontal line parallel to the surface of the ship.

d)The error could be significant compared to the size of a target. Option C is correct.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.

The given data in the problem is

m is the mass of the block = Kg.

u is the initial velocity of fall = m/sec

h is the distance of fall = m

g is the acceleration of free fall = m/sec²

v is the hitting velocity of =?

a)

The range of the projectile is;

$\rm R = \frac{u^2 sin 2 \theta }{g} \\\\ 36 \times 10^ 3 = \frac{U^2 sin 45^0}{9.81} \\\\ U= 594.27 \ m/sec$

b)

The maximum height of the projectile is;

$\rm H = \frac{u^2 sin 2 \theta }{2g} \\\\ H = \frac{(594.27)^2\times (sin 45)^2}{2 \times 9.81 } \\\\ H = 9000 \ m$

c)

The distance between its surface and the ship, measured in a horizontal arc parallel to the surface, will be 36.0 kilometers. The distance from the lower surface is found as;

$\rm( R_e + h)^2 = R_e^2+(36)^2 \\\\ (R_e)^2 = h^2+2R_e h= R_e^2 + 12196 \\\\ h^2 + 12800 h - 1296 = 0 \\\\ h = 101.249 \ m$

d)

An error is a mistaken or erroneous action. In some contexts, an error is interchangeable with a mistake.

The difference between the calculated value and the original value is known as the error. The inaccuracy may be large in comparison to the target's size. Option C is correct.

Hence the initial velocity of the shell, maximum height, and the distance from the lower surface will be 594.27 m/sec,9000 m, and 101.249 m and option c for question d are correct respectively.

Two trucks with equal mass are attracted to each other with a gravitational force of 5.3 x 10 -4 N. The trucks are separated by

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

7327 kg or 7.3 tons

Explanation:

We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

$F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}$

where $G =6.67408*10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2$ is the gravitational constant on Earth. $M = M_1 = M_2$ is the masses of the 2 objects. and R = 2.6m is the distance between them.
