Odd though it seems at first, gravity is pulling the cat down while the floor is pushing the cat up - in equal amounts. Forces are absolutely acting on the cat but they balance - so there is no net force.

A graduated beaker with 375 mL of water is sitting on a scale which measures the weight of the glass and water to be 7.60 N. Whe
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Volume of water displaced = 450 - 375 = 75 ml

Vr = volume of rock = 75 ml

Wr = 9.22 - 7.60 = 1.62 N  weight of 75 ml of rock

Density of rock = 1.62 N / 75 ml = .0216 N / ml

Density of water = 1000 g / 1000 ml = 9.8 N / 1000 ml = .0098 N / ml

Density of rock / density of water = .0216 / .0098 = 2.20

Learning Goal: To be able to calculate work done by a constant force directed at different angles relative to displacement
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Woke done, W = 4156.92 Joules

Explanation:

The work done by the force can be calculated as :

W=F\times s

W=Fs\ cos\theta

\theta is the angle between force and the displacement

It is assumed to find the work done for the given parameters i.e.

Force, F = 30 N

Distance travelled, s = 160 m

Angle between force and displacement, \theta=30

Work done is given by :

W=Fs\ cos\theta

W=30\times 160\ cos(30)

W = 4156.92 Joules

So, the work done by the object is 4156.92 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the difference in
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

0.438kg/ms-¹

Explanation:

Momentum, denoted by p, can be calculated by using the formula;

p = mv

Where;

m = mass (kg)

v = velocity (m/s)

Momentum (p) of bird = 0.216 kg × 5.87 m/s = 1.268kg/ms-¹

Momentum (p) of crawling baby = 7.29 kg kg × 0.234 m/s = 1.706kg/ms-¹

Having calculated the momentum of the bird to be 1.268kg/ms-¹, and the momentum of the baby to be 1.706kg/ms-¹, the difference in momentum between the flying bird and the crawling baby is:

{1.706kg/ms-¹ - 1.268kg/ms-¹} = 0.438kg/ms-¹

Determine whether each of the statements below is true or false, and place it in the appropriate bin. Objects with equal speeds
lisov135 [29]

Objects with equal speeds definitely have equal velocities. -- FALSE.  For equal velocities, they also have to be going in the same direction.

If you are given an object's velocity, you can definitely determine its speed. -- TRUE.  If you know the velocity, then you know both the object's speed and its direction.

If you know the distance an object travels, and the time it takes to do so, you can determine the object's velocity. -- FALSE. Knowing the distance and time, you can figure out the object's speed.  But if you don't also know the direction it's moving, then you can't say what its velocity is.

If an object moves at constant speed, it must also be moving at constant velocity. -- FALSE.  Besides constant speed, it also needs to move in a straight line to have constant velocity.  If it turns, its velocity changes, even if its speed doesn't.

If an object moves at constant velocity, it must also be moving at constant speed. -- TRUE.  Constant velocity means its speed AND its direction are not changing.

Objects with equal velocities definitely have equal speeds. -- TRUE.  If their velocities are equal, then their speeds are equal AND they're moving in the same direction.

After laboring through this one, I'm wondering if there can possibly be any more ways to say the same thing.

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has magnitude of 3.7 m/s^2. We want
denpristay [2]

Answer:

2.32 s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

s = ut+g't²/2............................ Equation 1

Where s = distance, u = initial velocity, g' = acceleration due to gravity of  the moon, t = time.

Note: Since Onur drops the basket ball from a height, u = 0 m/s

Then,

s = g't²/2

make t the subject of the equation,

t = √(2s/g')...................... Equation 2

Given: s = 10 m, g' = 3.7 m/s²

Substitute this value into equation 2

t = √(2×10/3.7)

t = √(20/3.7)

t = √(5.405)

t = 2.32 s.
