1) The mass of the continent is 3.3\cdot 10^{21}kg

2) The kinetic energy of the continent is 1683 J

3) The speed of the jogger must be 6.57 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The continent can be represented as a slab of size

d=5850 km = 5.85\cdot 10^6 m

and depth

t = 35 km = 3.5\cdot 10^4 m

So its volume is

V=d^2 t = (5.85\cdot 10^6)^2(3.5\cdot 10^4)=1.20\cdot 10^{18} m^3

We also know that the density of the continent is

\rho = 2750 kg/m^3

Therefore, we can calculate its mass as:

m=\rho V=(2750)(1.20\cdot 10^{18})=3.3\cdot 10^{21} kg

2)

The kinetic energy of the continent is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is its mass

v is its speed

We have already calculate its mass, while the speed is

v = 3.2 cm/year

We have to convert into SI units first, as follows:

v=3.2 \frac{cm}{year} \cdot \frac{1}{100 cm/m} \cdot \frac{1}{(365 d/y)(24h/d)(60min/h)(60 s/min)}=1.01\cdot 10^{-9} m/s

The mass is

m=3.3\cdot 10^{21} kg

So, the kinetic energy of the continent is

K=\frac{1}{2}(3.3\cdot 10^{21})(1.01\cdot 10^{-9})^2=1683 J

3)

Here we have a jogger having the same kinetic energy of the continent, so

K=1683 J

And the kinetic energy of the jogger can be expressed as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 78 kg is the mass of the jogger

v is his speed

We can therefore re-arrange the equation to find the speed of the man, and we get:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1683)}{78}}=6.57 m/s

2×3.14√(1.0m/(9.8〖ms〗^(-1) )=)
il63 [147K]

This is the period in a simple harmonic motion which is 2 seconds in this question.

<h3>What is Period ?</h3>

The period of an oscillatory object can be defined as the total time taken  by a vibrating body to make one complete revolution about a reference point.

We are given the below question

2×3.14√(1.0m/(9.8〖ms〗^(2) )= T

This question can as well be expressed as

2π√(L/g) which is equal to period T.

In a nut shell, Period T = 2×3.14√(1.0m/9.8)

T = 6.28√0.102

T = 6.28 × 0.32

T = 2.006 s

Therefore, the period T of the oscillation is 2 seconds approximately.

Armand hands the rock to Pierre, who is standing next to the trampoline. Explain how Armand moves, in terms of the forces acting
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Armando's weight ,restored force created by the trampoline

a harmonic movement within the trampoline

Explanation:

In a trampoline we have two forces that actuate Armando's weight and the restored force created by the trampoline that depends on the deformation distance of the elastic canvas.

Amando's weight is vertical and directed towards the center of the Earth and has a constant value, this weight is balanced with the elastic force the springboard exerts on Armando in a vertical direction.

In general, when entering the trampoline, a small jump is made, this creates a speed that deforms the canvas until the speed is reduced to zero, at this point the elastic force is greater than the weight and the boy begins to climb, After the boy leaves the canvas he meets only the force of gravity and his speed decreases to zero and begins his fall.

In Summary Armando is in a harmonic movement within the trampoline

Does a black hole have 2 sides that pull light together?
Ostrovityanka [42]
Check this Light doesn't have mass or gravity right?
So if it doesn't have mass or gravity so light can only affect objects with mass
Does that make sense?
The black hole has gravity and remember light doesn't have gravity so does it affect the light?
To answer that yes, and since light doesn't have gravity it gets "pulled" into the black hole

I hope this helps you
