The average density of the earth is about 5.50 × 10³ kg/m³

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the Gravitational Force formula:

\boxed {F = G\ \frac{m_1 m_2}{R^2}}

<em>where:</em>

<em>F = Gravitational Force ( N )</em>

<em>G = Gravitational Constant ( = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² )</em>

<em>m = mass of object ( kg )</em>

<em>R = distance between object ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

Radius of The Earth = R = 6378 km = 6378000 m

Gravitational Constant = G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Gravitational Acceleration = g = 9.90 m/s²

<u>Asked:</u>

Average Density of the Earth = ρ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we will calculate the mass of the Earth as follows:</em>

g = G \frac{M}{R^2}

\boxed {M = \frac{g R^2}{G} } → <em>Equation 1</em>

\texttt{ }

<em>Next , we could calculate the average density of the Earth as follows:</em>

\rho = M \div V

\rho = (\frac{g R^2}{G}) \div ( \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 )  ← <em>Equation 1</em>

\rho = \frac{3gR^2}{4 \pi G R^3}

\rho = \frac{3g}{4 \pi G R}

\rho = \frac{3 \times 9.80}{ 4 \pi \times 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 6378000 }

\boxed {\rho \approx 5.50 \times 10^3 \texttt{ kg/m}^3}

\texttt{ }

Answer:

5501 kg/m^3

Explanation:

The value of g at the Earth's surface is

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}=9.70 m/s^2

where G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

R=6378km = 6.378 \cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

Solving the formula for M, we find the value of the Earth's mass:

M=\frac{gR^2}{G}=\frac{(9.81 m/s^2)(6.378\cdot 10^6 m)^2}{6.67\cdot 10^{-11}}=5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg

The Earth's volume is (approximating the Earth to a perfect sphere)

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi (6.378\cdot 10^6 m)^3=1.087\cdot 10^{21} m^3

So, the average density of the Earth is

\rho = \frac{M}{V}=\frac{5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg}{1.087\cdot 10^{21} m^3}=5501 kg/m^3

How does frequency relate to pitch?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The sensation of a frequency is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave. ... That is, two sound waves sound good when played together if one sound has twice the frequency of the other.

Which type of force will an object move towards?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

i think it's weakest

EDIT: It's net. I answered weakest but it was wrong and the correct answer was net. oops

Explanation:

if a strong force is acting on something it will push it away, meaning the object would go towards the weaker force
