In pottery class, you throw a pot from a lump of wet clay. your pot's mass is 5.5 kg. after the pot is fired, it's mass is 4.9 k

g. the density of wet clay is 1.60 g/cm3 and the density of fired clay is 1.36 g/cm3. what was the volume of your pot before it was fired? what was the volume of the pot after it was fired? express your answer in significant digits.

We can calculate for the volume by taking the ratio of mass and density, that is:

volume = mass / density

 

A. when mass = 5.5 kg = 5500 g; density = 1.60 g/cm^3

volume = 5500 g / (1.60 g/cm^3)

volume = 3,437.5 cm^3

Taking the significant digits:

volume = 3,400 cm^3 = 3.4 L

 

B. when mass = 4.9 kg = 4900 g; density = 1.36 g/cm^3

volume = 4900 g / (1.36 g/cm^3)

volume = 3,602.94 cm^3

Taking the significant digits:

<span>volume = 3,600 cm^3 = 3.6 L</span>

A railroad car moves under a grain elevator at a constant speed of 3.20 m/s. Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

F = 768 N                  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the elevator, v = 3.2 m/s

Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min, \dfrac{dm}{dt}=240\ kg/min = 4\ kg/s

We need to find the magnitude of force needed to keep the car moving constant speed. The relation between the momentum and the force is given by :

F=\dfrac{dp}{dt}

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}+v\dfrac{dm}{dt}

Since, the speed is constant,

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}

F=v\dfrac{dm}{dt}

F=3.2\times 240

F = 768 N

So, the magnitude of force need to keep the car is 768 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
