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}

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

Answer:

∆h = 0.071 m

Explanation:

I rename angle (θ) = angle(α)

First we are going to write two important equations to solve this problem :

Vy(t) and y(t)

We start by decomposing the speed in the direction ''y''

sin(\alpha) = \frac{Vyi}{Vi}

Vyi = Vi.sin(\alpha ) = 9.2 \frac{m}{s} .sin(46) = 6.62 \frac{m}{s}

Vy in this problem will follow this equation =

Vy(t) = Vyi -g.t

where g is the gravity acceleration

Vy(t) = Vyi - g.t= 6.62 \frac{m}{s} - (9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }) .t

This is equation (1)

For Y(t) :

Y(t)=Yi+Vyi.t-\frac{g.t^{2} }{2}

We suppose yi = 0

Y(t) = Yi +Vyi.t-\frac{g.t^{2} }{2} = 6.62 \frac{m}{s} .t- 4.9\frac{m}{s^{2} } .t^{2}

This is equation (2)

We need the time in which Vy = 0 m/s so we use (1)

Vy (t) = 0\\0=6.62 \frac{m}{s} - 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } .t\\t= 0.675 s

So in t = 0.675 s  → Vy = 0. Now we calculate the y in which this happen using (2)

Y(0.675s) = 6.62\frac{m}{s}.(0.675s)-4.9 \frac{m}{s^{2} }  .(0.675s)^{2} \\Y(0.675s) =2.236 m

2.236 m is the maximum height from the shell (in which Vy=0 m/s)

Let's calculate now the height for t = 0.555 s

Y(0.555s)= 6.62 \frac{m}{s} .(0.555s)-4.9\frac{m}{s^{2} } .(0.555s)^{2} \\Y(0.555s) = 2.165m

The height asked is

∆h = 2.236 m - 2.165 m = 0.071 m

A rope breaks when the tension reaches 205 N. What is the maximum speed at which it can swing a 0.477 kg mass in a circle of rad
jekas [21]

Answer:

Maximum velocity will be 17.651 m /sec

Explanation:

We have given a rope breaks when tension reaches 205 N

Mass m = 0.477 kg

Radius of the circle r = 0.725 m

Tension in the rope is given by

T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

205=\frac{0.477\times v^2}{0.725}

0.477v^2=148.625

v^2=311.5828

v = 17.651 m /sec
