Answer:

5.92×10⁷ J

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 15 tons to Newton. This can be obtained as follow:

1 ton = 9806.65 N

Therefore,

15 ton = 15 ton × 9806.65 N / 1 ton

15 ton = 147099.75 N

Next, we shall convert one-quarter (¼) or 0.25 mile to metre. This can be obtained as follow:

100 mi = 160934 m

0.25 mi = 0.25 mi × 160934 / 100 mi

0.25 mi = 402.335 m

Finally, we shall determine the Workdone. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 147099.75 N

Distance (d) = 402.335 m

Workdone (Wd) =?

Wd = F × d

Wd = 147099.75 × 402.335

Wd = 5.92×10⁷ J

Thus, the Workdone is 5.92×10⁷ J

Calculate the mass 9f the earth, assuring that uts is sphere with radius 6.67×10^6m.​
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

6.86 × 10²⁴ kg

Explanation:

The mass of the earth m = density of earth, ρ × volume of earth, V

m = ρV

The density of the earth, ρ = 5515 kg/m³ and since the earth is a sphere, its volume is the volume of a sphere V = 4πr³/3 where r = radius of the earth = 6.67 × 10⁶ m

Since m = ρV

m = ρ4πr³/3

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation for the mass of the earth, m, we have

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π(6.67 × 10⁶ m)³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π × 296.741 × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 1189.9639π × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 6546105.64378π × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 20565197.400122 × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 6855065.8 × 10¹⁸ kg

m = 6.8550658 × 10²⁴ kg

m ≅ 6.86 × 10²⁴ kg
