If the earth had uniform density, the gravitational potential of a mass m at a point in the interior of the earth, a distance r away from the earth's center, would be given by U(r), where M is the mass of the earth, and R is its radius. Suppose that a tunnel were drilled straight down through the center of the earth and coming out on the other side. How long would it take a stone dropped at one end to reach the other end

Your 249 ml cup of coffee is too hot to drink when served at 82 degree celsius. what is the mass of an ice cube taken from a -21 degree celsius freezer, that will cool your coffee to a pleasant 54 degree celsius. specific heat of the water is 4190 j/kg c, specific heat of ice is 2090 j/kg c, heat of fusion of ice is 3.33 x 10^5 j/kg

Classify the following soils according to the uscs classification system. provide appropriate uscs designations. a) this sample of well-graded gravel with sand was obtained from a large earthen dam in vancouver, canada. the sample has 73% fine to coarse sub-angular gravel, 25% fine to coarse sub-angular sand and 2% fines. the maximum size of the particles is 75 mm. the coefficient of curvature is 2.7, while the uniformity coefficient is 12.4. b) this dark brown and wet soil with a “strong organic odor” has 100% passing the no. 200 sieve. the liquid limit of the material is 32% when not dried and is 21% when oven-dried. the plastic index is 21% when not dried. c) this sand has 61% predominantly fine sand, 23% silty fines, and 16% fine sub-rounded gravel size. the maximum size is 20 mm. the liquid limit is 33% and the plastic limit is 27%. d) this soil has 74% fine to coarse sub-angular reddish sand and 26% organic and silty dark brown fines. the liquid limit is 37% when not dried and is 26% when oven dried. the plastic index is 6% when not dried.

Science and technology are interdependent. advances in one lead to advances in the other. give an example of this phenomenon.
