D is the best answer. In many physics problems we treat an extended object as if it were a point with the same mass located at the center of mass.
Explanation:
In order to find out if the keys will reach John or not, we can use the formula of projectile motion to find the maximum height reached by the keys:
H = V²Sin²θ/2g
where,
V = Launch Speed = 18 m/s
θ = Launch Angle = 40°
g = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore,
H = (18 m/s)²[Sin 40°]²/(2)(9.8 m/s²)
H = 6.83 m
Hence, the maximum height that can be reached by the projectile or the keys is greater than the height of John's Balcony(5.33 m).
Therefore, the keys will make it back to John.
It brings a civilized government to backward countries.
Hope this helps! :)
The answer is C. The mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample. As I explained in a previous answer, if they are the same volume, but one is heavier, then it must be more dense. In this particular example, the platinum is more dense than the lead, and therefore has more mass.
