Answer:

Density, $d=19.3\ g/cm^3$

Explanation:

Mass of the sample of gold, m = 38.6 grams

Volume of gold sample, $V=2\ cm^3$

The density of gold sample is given by mass per unit volume. Mathematically, it is given by :

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}$

$d=\dfrac{38.6\ g}{2\ cm^3}$

$d=19.3\ g/cm^3$

So, the density of the sample of gold is $19.3\ g/cm^3$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

Your mass = 38.6 grams
Your volume = 2 cm3

38.6 ÷ 2 = 19.3 grams per cm3

A stone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, 900 m above the ground. (assume g = 9.8 m/s2.) (a) find the dista

aleksley [76]

The original vertical velocity = 0 (because the stone was dropped).
Assume that air resistance may be ignored.

Let x = the distance the stone drops in time t.
Then
x = 0*t + (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)²
= 4.9t² m

The height of the stone above ground is
h(t) = 900 - 4.9t² m

Answer: h(t) = 900 - 4.9t²

.A 100.0-W lightbulb is 22 percent efficient. This means that 22 percent of the electrical energy is transformed to radiant ener

algol [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

100 W bulb is using energy of 100 J in one second.

22 percent of the electrical energy is transformed to radiant energy.

a )

So , electrical energy is transformed to radiant energy per second

= 100 x .22 = 22 J

energy transformed in one minute = 22 x 60 J

= 1320 J

b )

electrical energy is transformed to heat energy per second

= 100 x .78 = 78 J

energy transformed in one minute = 78 x 60 J

= 4680 J

A 0.280-kg croquet ball makes an elastic head-on collision with a second ball initially at rest. The second ball moves off with

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

mass of second ball is 0.84 kg

Explanation:

mass of ball = 0.280 kg

to find out

mass of the second ball

solution

we know here elastic head on collision and

second ball moves = half the original speed

we consider here m1 mass of 1st ball and m2 mass of second ball

v1 = velocity of first ball before collision

v2 = velocity of second ball before collision

v3 = velocity of first ball after collision

v4 = velocity of second ball after collision

so here

we know 2nd ball was on rest so v2 = 0

after collision v4 = 1/2 ( v1)

and we know head on collision so

v3 = - v1/2

so from law of conservation of mass

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v3 + m2v4

put here value

m1v1 + m2(0) = m1(-v1/2) + m2(v1/2)

solve and we get

m2 = 3m1

m2 = 3( 0.280) = 0.84

mass of second ball is 0.84 kg
