Answer:

check the explanation

Explanation:

To find density you need mass and volume

to find mass use a digital balance and record it. Ex - 50g
to find the volume of the object
use a measuring cylinder and lets say you fill it up to 50cm³
then add the irregular object to the cylinder and record the new volume Ex - 54cm³
to find the volume of the object subract the final volume from the intial volume

54cm³-50cm³=4cm³

now that you have mass and volume use the equation D=M/V

Density = Mass = 50g = 12.5g/cm³
 Volume 4cm³

the pygmy shrew has an average mass of 2.0 g if 49 of these shrew are placed on a spring scale with a spring constant of 24 N/m

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Spring's displacement, x = -0.04 meters.

Explanation:

Let the spring's displacement be x.

Given the following data;

Mass of each shrew, m = 2.0 g to kilograms = 2/1000 = 0.002 kg

Number of shrews, n = 49

Spring constant, k = 24 N/m

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the spring's displacement;

At equilibrium position:

Fnet = Felastic + Fg = 0

But, Felastic = -kx

Total mass, Mt = nm

Fg = -Mt = -nmg

-kx -nmg = 0

Rearranging, we have;

kx = -nmg

Making x the subject of formula, we have;

$x = \frac {-nmg}{k}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$x = \frac {-49*0.002*9.8}{24}$

$x = \frac {-0.9604}{24}$

x = -0.04 m

Therefore, the spring's displacement is -0.04 meters.

A dog walks 12 meters to the east and then 16 meters back to the west for this motion what is the distance moved What is the mag

FinnZ [79.3K]

The distance is 28 meters, and the displacement is -4.

For the distance it would be 12 + 16 = 28.

For the displacement it would be 12 - 16 = -4.

would really appreciate a brainliest! Hope this helped!

If an object is propelled upward from a height of 128 feet at an initial velocity of 112 feet per second, then its height h aft

Marina CMI [18]

Explanation:

The equation of motion of an object is given by :

$h(t)=-16t^2+112t+128$

Where

t is the time in seconds

We need to find the time when the object hits the ground. When the object hits the ground, h(t) = 0

So,

$-16t^2+112t+128=0$

$-t^2+7t+8=0$

On solving above equation using online calculator, t = 8 seconds. So, the object hit the ground after 8 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
