The Earth is not a uniform sphere, but has regions of varying density. Consider a simple model of the Earth divided into three regions-inner core, outer core, and mantle. Each region is taken to have a unique constant density (the average density of that region in the real Earth): Region Radius (km) Density(kg/m3)
Inner Core 0-1220 13,000
Outer Core 1220-3480 11,100
Mantle 3480-6371 44,00
A) Use this model to predict the average density of the entire Earth.
B)The measured radius of the Earth is 6371km and its mass is 5.974*1024kg Use this data to determine the actual average density of the Earth.

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. you then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the yacht. you see the ball move away from you at 100mph, while a person standing on a near by beach would observe your golf ball traveling at 120 mph (20 mph + 100 mph). now imagine you are aboard the hermes spacecraft traveling at 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) past mars and shine a laser from the front of the ship. you would see the light traveling at c (the speed of light) away from your ship. according to einstein’s special relativity, how fast will a person on mars observe the light to be traveling? a) 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) b) c (the speed of light) c)1.1c (c+0.1c)
