Answer:

R = 98304.75 m = 98.3 km

Explanation:

The density of an object is given as the ratio between the mass of that object and the volume occupied by that object.

Density = Mass/Volume

Now, it is given that the density of Earth has become:

Density = 1 x 10⁹ kg/m³

Mass = Mass of Earth (Constant) = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

Volume = 4/3πR³ (Volume of Sphere)

R = Radius of Earth = ?

Therefore,

1 x 10⁹ kg/m³ = (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg)/[4/3πR³]

4/3πR³ = (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg)/(1 x 10⁹ kg/m³)

R³ = (3/4)(5.97 x 10¹⁵ m³)/π

R = ∛[0.95 x 10¹⁵ m³]

<u>R = 98304.75 m = 98.3 km</u>

If a car is traveling 103 miles per hour, how many miles and how much time would it take for another car to catch up to them fro
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Required distance is 103 miles and the required time is 1 hour

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the car, v = 103 miles per hour

Speed is the given as the ratio of distance traveled to time taken for the motion.

The distance it will take another car to catch up to them from a complete stop is 103 miles and the time it will take the car is 1 hour.

Therefore, required distance is 103 miles and the required time is 1 hour.

Suppose that a tiny space invader (m=0.47 kg) and the new space station orbit Earth at the same height from Earth’s surface. Whi
Ad libitum [116K]

The tiny space invader and the new space station will have equal orbital speed.

<h3>The orbital speed of satellite </h3>

The orbital speed of satellite on Earth surface is given as;

V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }

where;

  • V is the orbital speed
  • G is universal gravitation
  • M is mass of the Earth
  • r is the radius of the circular path

Since the two objects are at the same height from Earth's surface, the distance from the central point (r) will be the same. Thus, the two objects will have equal orbital speed.

How long does it take for the speed of light and sound to travel around the world
irina [24]

-- Light travels straight, not around in a circle. But if it did, it would cover
a distance equal to the length of the equator in about <em>0.13 second</em>.

-- At the speed of sound (in air at standard temperature and pressure),
it would take about <em>32.6 hours </em>to cover the same distance.
