The Earth is not a uniform sphere, but has regions of varying density. Consider a simple model of the Earth divided into three r

egions-inner core, outer core, and mantle. Each region is taken to have a unique constant density (the average density of that region in the real Earth):
Region Radius (km) Density(kg/m3)
Inner Core 0-1220 13,000
Outer Core 1220-3480 11,100
Mantle 3480-6371 44,00
A) Use this model to predict the average density of the entire Earth.
B)The measured radius of the Earth is 6371km and its mass is 5.974*1024kg Use this data to determine the actual average density of the Earth.

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of inner core = 4/3 π R₁³

where R₁ is radius of inner core so R₁ = 1220 km

Volume of inner core = 4/3 π (1220 km )³

= 1764.4 x 10¹⁷ m³ - 4/3 π (1220 km )³

= 76.02 x 10⁸ x 10⁹ m³

= 76.02 x 10¹⁷ m³

Density = 13000 kg / m³

mass = volume x density

= 76.02 x 10¹⁷ x 13000

= 988.26 x 10²⁰ kg

Volume of outer  core = 4/3 π (3480 km )³ -  4/3 π (1220 km )³

= 1764.4 x 10⁸ km³ - 4/3 π (1220 km )³

= 1764.4 x 10⁸ x 10⁹m³ - 4/3 π (1220 km )³

= 1764.4 x 10¹⁷ m³ - 4/3 π (1220 km )³

= 1764.4 x 10¹⁷ m³ - 76.02 x 10¹⁷ m³

= 1688.38 x 10¹⁷ m³

density = 11100 kg /m³

mass of outer  core= 1688.38 m³ x10¹⁷ x  11100 kg /m³

= 18741 x 10²⁰ kg

Volume of outer mantle  =  4/3 π (6371  km )³ - 4/3 π (3480 km )³

= 10826 x 10¹⁷ m³- 1764.4 x 10¹⁷ m³

= 9062 x 10¹⁷ m³

density = 4400 kg /m³

mass of outer  core= 9062 x 10¹⁷ m³ x  4400 kg /m³

= 39872.8 x 10²⁰ kg

Total mass of the earth = 988.26 x 10²⁰ kg + 18741 x 10²⁰ kg +39872.8 x 10²⁰ kg

= 59602.06 x 10²⁰ kg .

Total volume = 4/3 π (6371  km )³

= 10826 x 10¹⁷ m³

Density = mass / volume

= 59602.06 x 10²⁰ kg /  10826 x 10¹⁷ m³

= 5505.45 kg / m³

B )

Mass = 5.974 x 10²⁴ kg

volume = Total volume = 4/3 π (6371  km )³

= 10826 x 10¹⁷ m³

density = 5.974 x 10²⁴ kg / 10826 x 10¹⁷ m³

= 5518.2 kg / m³

Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan
Alina [70]

Answer:

2000 kg

Explanation:

Given that Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan

According to the definition of momentum, momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

That is,

Momentum = mass × velocity

Since velocity or speed is the same, then, the one of higher mass will have a greater momentum.

Therefore, the 2000 kg truck will have the greater momentum.

Does the same battery always deliver the same amount of flow to any circuit? Mention two observations of any circuits in this la
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given that the battery is the same the PD ( potential difference ) in the circuit will also be the same likewise the flow of charge in the circuit,

Hence the same amount of charge flow is delivered to any circuit.

attached below are examples
