<h2>Answer: The layers of Earth are uniform in thickness</h2>

Earth's layers have different thicknesses and do not have a uniform average composition, being the crust (the outermost zone of the concentric structure of the geosphere and the layer in which we live) considered thinner with a variable thickness; from 5 km on the ocean floor, up to 70 km in the mountainous areas of the continents.

Therefore the statement <em>"The layers of Earth are uniform in thickness"</em> is false.

Answer:

h=17005.8 km

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force experimented by a satellite of mass m orbiting Mars, which has mass M=6.39\times10^{23} kg at a distance r will be:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where G=6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2 is the gravitational constant.

This force is the centripetal force the satellite experiments, so we can write:

F=ma_{cp}=mr\omega^2=mr(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2=\frac{4\pi^2mr}{T^2}

Putting all together:

\frac{GMm}{r^2}=\frac{4\pi^2mr}{T^2}

which means:

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{GM}{4\pi^2}T^2}

Which for our values is:

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{(6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(6.39\times10^{23} kg)}{4\pi^2}(1.026\times24\times60\times60s)^2}=20395282m=20395.3km

Since this distance is measured from the center of Mars, to have the height above the Martian surface we need to substract the radius of Mars R=3389.5 km , which leaves us with:

h=r-R=20395.3km-3389.5 km=17005.8 km

a marine biologist wants to know the total vertical distance a dolphin travel during a jump with the surface of the water being
marin [14]

From the starting depth to the surface, the vertical distance is 35 ft.

From the surface to the peak of the jump, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the peak of the jump to the surface, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the surface to the ending depth, the vertical distance is 18 ft.

Then the total vertical distance is ...

  35 ft + 27 ft + 27 ft + 18 ft = 107 ft

Two parallel metal plates are at a distance of 8.00 m apart.The electric field between the plates is uniform directed towards th
Oksana_A [137]
<h2>The K.E of the charge is 1.02 x 10⁻¹⁷ J</h2>

Explanation:

When the charge of 2e is placed in between the plates .

The force applied on this charge by plates is = q E

here q is the magnitude of charge = 2 e = 2 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

and E is the magnitude of electric field intensity

The work done = Force x displacement

Thus W = q E x S

here S is displacement

Therefore W = 2 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 4 x 8

= 1.02 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

This work will be converted into the kinetic energy of charge .

Thus K.E = 1.02 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

A student librarian lifts a 2.2 kg book from the floor to a height of 1.25 m. He carries the book 8.0 m to the stacks and places
Montano1993 [528]
The solution to your problem is as follows:


2.2Kg*9.8m/s = 21.56N 
<span>
21.56N*1.25m = 26.95J </span>


<span>We're only concerned with the work done against gravity, lifting the books to 1.25 meters. the distance walked has no effect on the problem, unless you take into account the wind resistance and the force needed to overcome it. Also, lowering the books onto the shelf doesnt count, because gravity does the work on the books.</span>
