A) The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion

suter [353]

A) The mass of the continent is $2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg$

B) The kinetic energy is 2016 J

C) The speed of the jogger should be 7.1 m/s

Explanation:

A)

The mass of the continent can be calculated as

$m = \rho V$

where

$\rho = 2800 kg/m^3$ is its density

V is its volume

We have to calculate its volume. We know that the continent is represented as a slab of side 5900 km (so its surface is 5900 x 5900, assuming it is a square) and depth of 26 km, so its volume is:

$V=(5900 km)^2 (26 km)=9.05\cdot 10^8 km^3 =9.05 \cdot 10^8 \cdot (10^9 m^3/k^3)=9.05\cdot 10^7 m^3$

So, the mass of the continent is

$m=\rho V = (2800)(9.05\cdot 10^{17})=2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg$

B)

The kinetic energy of a body is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the body

v is its speed

For the continent, we have:

$m=2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg$ is the mass

$v=4 cm/year$ is the speed

We have to convert the speed into SI units. we have:

1 cm = 0.01 m

$1 year = (365)(24)(60)(60) s = 3.15\cdot 10^7 s$

So, the speed is

$v=4 cm/year = 0.04 m/year \cdot \frac{1}{3.15\cdot 10^7}=1.27\cdot 10^{-9} m/s$

Therefore, the kinetic energy is

$K=\frac{1}{2}(2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg)(1.27\cdot 10^{-9} m/s)^2=2016 J$

C)

Again, the kinetic energy of an object is

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

For the jogger in this problem, his mass is

m = 80 kg

And we want its kinetic energy to be equal to that of the continent, so

K = 2016 J

Re-arranging the equation for v, we find what speed the jogger needs to have this kinetic energy:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2016)}{80}}=7.1 m/s$

4vir4ik [10]

The speed is 0.956 m / s.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The kinetic energy is equal to the product of half of an object's mass, and the square of the velocity.

K.E = 1/2 $\times$ m $\times$ $v^{2}$

where K.E represents the kinetic energy,

m represents the mass,

v represents the velocity.

K.E = 1/2 $\times$ m $\times$ $v^{2}$

1.10 $\times$ 10^42 = 1/2 $\times$ 3.26 $\times$ 10^31 $\times$ $v^{2}$

$v^{2}$ = (1.10 $\times$ 10^42 $\times$ 2) / (3.26 $\times$ 10^31)

v = 0.956 m / s.

Odległość między kolejnymi grzbietami fal na morzu wynosi 20 m. Łódź opada z grzbietu fali, unosi się i osiąga ponownie najwyższ

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The distance between successive wave crests at sea is 20 m. The boat descends from the crest of the wave, rises and reaches the highest position again within 5 s. Calculate the wave propagation speed.

Given that,

The distance between two successive crest is 20m

Wavelength is the distance between two successive crest or trough

Then, it's wavelength is λ = 20m

The time to reached the maximum height is 5seconds, then it will take (5×4) to complete one period

Then,

Period T = 20seconds

From wave equation

v = fλ

Where

v is speed

f is frequency and

λ is wavelength

The frequency is related to the period

f = 1 / T

Then,

v = λ / T

So, v = 20 / 20

v = 1 m/s

The speed of propagation of the wave is 1m/s

To Polish

Jeśli się uwzględni,

Odległość między dwoma kolejnymi grzebieniami wynosi 20 m

Długość fali to odległość między dwoma kolejnymi grzebieniami lub dolinami

Zatem jego długość fali wynosi λ = 20 m

Czas do osiągnięcia maksymalnej wysokości wynosi 5 sekund, a następnie ukończenie jednego okresu zajmie (5 × 4)

Następnie,

Okres T = 20 sekund

Z równania falowego

v = fλ

Gdzie

v to prędkość

f oznacza częstotliwość, a

λ jest długością fali

Częstotliwość jest związana z okresem

f = 1 / T

Następnie,

v = λ / T

Zatem v = 20/20

v = 1 m / s

Prędkość propagacji fali wynosi 1m/s

In the equation vx^2=v0x^2+2ax(x-x0) what does the terms vx, v0x, x, and x0 stand for respectively?

tatuchka [14]

B. velocity at position x, velocity at position x=0, position x, and the original position

In the equation

$v_{x}^{2}$ = $v_{ox}^{2}$ +2 a x (x - x₀)

$v_{x}$ = velocity at position "x"

$v_{ox}$ = velocity at position "x = 0 "

x = final position

$x_{o}$ = initial position of the object at the start of the motion
