Answer:

m = 4.9 10⁸ kg

Explanation:

The expression for the density is

           ρ = m / V

           m = ρ V

the volume of the atmosphere is the volume of the sphere of the outer layer of the atmosphere minus the volume of the plant

          V = V_atmosphere - V_planet

           V = 4/3 π R_atmosphere³ - 4/3 π R_venus³

           V = 4/3 π (R_atmosphere³ - R_venus³

)

the radius of the planet is R_venus = 6.06 10⁶ m.

The radius of the outermost layer of the atmosphere

          R_atmosphere = 50 10³ + R_ venus = 50 10³ + 6.06 10⁶

           R_atmosphere = 6.11 10⁶ m

let's find the volume

           V = 4/3 pi [(6,11 10⁶)³ - (6,06 10⁶)³]

            V = 23,265 10⁶ m³

let's calculate the mass

          m = 21  23,265 10⁶

          m = 4.89   10⁸ kg

with two significant figurars is

          m = 4.9 10⁸ kg

You are pulling your little sister on her sled across an icy (frictionless) surface. When you exert a constant horizontal force
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, the magnitude of force applied on the sled is given by the following formula:

F = ma

where,

F = Force Applied = 120 N

a = Acceleration = 2.3 m/s²

m = Mass of Sled + Mass of Little Sister = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Therefore,

120 N = (2.3 m/s²)(8 kg + Mass of Little Sister)

(120 N)/(2.3 m/s²) = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Mass of Little Sister = 52.17 kg - 8 kg

<u>Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg</u>

Three disks are spinning independently on the same axle without friction. Their respective rotational inertias and angular speed
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

3/7 ω

Explanation:

Initial momentum = final momentum

I(-ω) + (2I)(3ω) + (4I)(-ω/2) = (I + 2I + 4I) ωnet

-Iω + 6Iω - 2Iω = 7I ωnet

3Iω = 7I ωnet

ωnet = 3/7 ω

The final angular velocity will be 3/7 ω counterclockwise.

The intensity at a distance of 6.0 m from a source that is radiating equally in all directions is 6.0 × 10-10 w/m2 . what is the
satela [25.4K]
The intensity is defined as the ratio between the power emitted by the source and the area through which the power is calculated:
I= \frac{P}{A} (1)
where
P is the power
A is the area

In our problem, the intensity is I=6.0 \cdot 10^{-10} W/m^2. At a distance of r=6.0 m from the source, the area intercepted by the radiation (which propagates in all directions) is equal to the area of a sphere of radius r, so:
A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (6.0 m)^2 = 452.2 m^2

And so if we re-arrange (1) we find the power emitted by the source:
P=IA = (6.0 \cdot 10^{-10}W/m^2)(452.2 m^2)=2.7 \cdot 10^{-7} W

A frog jumps to the left with an average speed of
Bingel [31]

Answer:

<h3>0.99 m</h3>

Explanation:

Average velocity is the change of rate of displacement with respect to time;

Average velocity = Displacement/Time

Given

Average velocity of the frog = 1.8m/s

Time = 0.55s

Required

Displacement of the frog

Substitute the given parameters into the formula;

1.8 = displacement/0.55

cross multiply

Displacement = 1.8*0.55

Displacement = 0.99 m

Hence the frog's displacement is 0.99m
