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>

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 39 m in front of you. Your reaction tim
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

a) 10.8 m

b) 24.3 m/s

Explanation:

a)

  • In order to get the total distance traveled since you see the deer till the car comes to an stop, we need to take into account that this distance will be composed of two parts.
  • The first one, is the distance traveled at a constant speed, before stepping on the brakes, which lasted the same time that the reaction time, i.e., 0.5 sec.
  • We can find this distance simply applying the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       \Delta x_{1} = v_{1o} * t_{react} = 20 m/s * 0.5 s = 10 m (1)

  • The second part, is the distance traveled while decelerating at -11 m/s2, from 20 m/s to 0.
  • We can find this part using the following kinematic equation (assuming that the deceleration keeps the same all time):

       v_{1f} ^{2}  - v_{1o} ^{2} = 2* a* \Delta x  (2)

  • where v₁f = 0, v₁₀ = 20 m/s, a = -11 m/s².
  • Solving for Δx, we get:

       \Delta x_{2} = \frac{-(20m/s)^{2}}{2*(-11m/s)} = 18.2 m (3)

  • So, the total distance traveled was the sum of (1) and (3):
  • Δx = Δx₁ + Δx₂ = 10 m + 18.2 m = 28.2 m (4)
  • Since the initial distance between the car and the deer was 39 m, after travelling 28.2 m, the car was at 10.8 m from the deer when it came to a complete stop.

b)

  • We need to find the maximum speed, taking into account, that in the same way that in a) we will have some distance traveled at a constant speed, and another distance traveled while decelerating.
  • The difference, in this case, is that the total distance must be the same initial distance between the car and the deer, 39 m.
  • ⇒Δx = Δx₁ + Δx₂ = 39 m. (5)
  • Δx₁, is the distance traveled at a constant speed during the reaction time, so we can express it as follows:

       \Delta x_{1} = v_{omax} * t_{react} = 0.5* v_{omax} (6)

  • Δx₂, is the distance traveled while decelerating, and can be obtained  using (2):

        v_{omax} ^{2} = 2* a* \Delta x_{2} (7)

  • Solving for Δx₂, we get:

       \Delta x_{2} = \frac{-v_{omax} ^{2} x}{2*a}  = \frac{-v_{omax} ^{2}}{(-22m/s2)} (8)

  • Replacing (6) and (8) in (5), we get a quadratic equation with v₀max as the unknown.
  • Taking the positive root in the quadratic formula, we get the following value for vomax:
  • v₀max = 24.3 m/s.

A bicyclist traveling at 5 m/s hits a fence, the bicyclist files over the fence. Which
Margarita [4]

The Newton's Laws that BEST describe the situation is Newton's second law of motion.

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states, the force exerted by an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

Also, the law can also be states as force is equal to the rate of change of momentum.

F ∝ Δp

Ft = m(v2 - v1)

The force exerted on the bicyclist by the fence is equal to the change in momentum of the bicyclist. The bicyclist was able to fly over the fence because there is a change in his momentum.

Thus, the Newton's Laws that BEST describe the situation is Newton's second law of motion.

A wheel completes 5.6 revolutions in 8 seconds.
nevsk [136]

Answer:

86.15\pi rad/min

Explanation: Angular velocity is the number of revolutions made per unit time.

We convert the number of revolutions to radians and the time given in seconds to minutes,

Given;

1rev=2\pi rad\\therefore\\5.6rev=5.6*2\pi rad\\= 11.2\pi rad

Also,

60s = 1 min

hence

8s=\frac{8}{60}min\\=0.13min

We now divide the number of revolution in radians by the time in minutes.

\omega =\frac{11.2\pi}{0.13min}\\\omega=86.15\pi rad/min
