Density = (mass) divided by (volume)
We know the mass (2.5 g). We need to find the volume.
The penny is a very short cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder is (π · radius² · height).
The penny's radius is 1/2 of its diameter = 9.775 mm.
The 'height' of the cylinder is the penny's thickness = 1.55 mm.
Volume = (π) (9.775 mm)² (1.55 mm)
= (π) (95.55 mm²) (1.55 mm)
= (π) (148.1 mm³)
= 465.3 mm³
We know the volume now. So we could state the density of the penny,
but nobody will understand what we have. Here it is:
mass/volume = 2.5 g / 465.3 mm³ = 0.0054 g/mm³ .
Nobody every talks about density in units of ' gram/(millimeter)³ ' .
It's always ' gram / (centimeter)³ '.
So we have to convert our number for the volume.
(0.0054 g/mm³) x (10 mm / cm)³
= (0.0054 x 1,000) g/cm³
= 5.37 g/cm³ .
This isn't actually very close to what the US mint says for the density
of a penny, but it's in a much better ball park than 0.0054 was.
Answer:
68.585m/sec , 779.1 N
Explanation:
To feel weightless, centripetal acceleration must equal g (9.8m/sec^2). The accelerations then cancel.
From centripetal motion.
F =( mv^2)/2
But since we are dealing with weightlessness
r = 480m
g = 9.8m/s^2
M also cancels, so forget M.
V^2 = Fr
V = √ Fr
V =√ (9.8 x 480) = 4704
= 68.585m/sec.
b) Centripetal acceleration = (v^2/2r) = (68.585^2/960) = 4704/960
= 4.9m/sec^2.
Weight (force) = (mass x acceleration) = 159kg x (g - 4.9)
159kg × ( 9.8-4.9)
159kg × 4.9
= 779.1N

Same for #1 I have to say the same thing
Answer:
it is the physics that explains how everything works. The best description we have of the. nature of the particles that make up matters and the forces with which they interact. It underlines how atoms work, and so why chemistry and biology work as they do
