Answer:

263.152kg

Explanation:

<em>The density of a substance is related to its mass and volume as follows;</em>

density = mass / volume      

mass = density x volume       -------------(i)

The substance in question here is <em>mercury </em>which has;

density = 13.56g/mL = 13.56g/cm³

Since the mercury is going to be put in the cylindrical glass, the volume of the cylindrical glass is going to be equal to the volume of the mercury that will be put.

And we know that the;

volume of a cylinder = πr²h

<em>Where;</em>

π = 3.142

r = bottom radius of the cylinder = 5.75inches

h = height of the cylinder = 0.950ft

<em>For uniformity, let's convert the radius and height of the cylinder to their corresponding values in cm</em>

r  = 5.75 inches = 5.75 x 2.54 cm = 14.605cm

h = 0.950 ft = 0.950 x 30.48 cm = 28.956cm

<em>Therefore, the volume of the cylinder;</em>

v = 3.142 x (14.605cm)² x 28.956cm = 19406.5cm³

v = 19406.5cm³ [This is also the volume of the mercury necessary to fit the cylinder]

<em>Now the following value has been found;</em>

volume = 19406.5cm³

<em>Substitute the values of density and volume into equation (i)  as follows;</em>

mass = 19406.5cm³ x 13.56g/cm³

mass = 263152.14g

<em>Convert the result to kg by dividing by 1000</em>

mass = 263.152kg

Therefore, 263.152kg kilograms of mercury would fit in the cylindrical glass.

A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 50.0 m from a speed of 80 km. What is its acceleration and how ma
Flauer [41]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the sports car, u = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

Final speed of the runner, v = 0

Distance covered by the sports car, d = 80 km = 80000 m

Let a is the acceleration of the sports car.  It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2ad

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}

a=\dfrac{0-(22.22)^2}{2\times 80000}

a=-0.00308\ m/s^2

Value of g, g=9.8\ m/s^2

a=\dfrac{-0.00308}{9.8}\ m/s^2

a=(-0.000314)\ g\ m/s^2

Hence, this is required solution.

An electric drill rated at 400 W is connected to a 240V power line. How much current does it draw?
disa [49]

Answer:

1.67 A

Explanation:

Given that,

→ Power (P) = 400 W

→ Potential difference (V) = 240 V

→ Current (I) = ?

The amount of current drawn will be,

→ P = V × I

→ I = P/V

→ I = 400/240

→ I = 1.66666666667

→ [ I = 1.67 A ]

Hence, the current drawn 1.67 A.

A Meteorite Strikes On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a dent 22 cm deep in the tru
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of the meteorite, a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

A Meteorite after striking struck a car, v = 0

Initial speed of the Meteorite, u = 130 m/s

Distance covered by Meteorite, s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

We need to find the magnitude of its deceleration. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{-(130)^2}{2\times 0.22}

a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

So, the deceleration of the Meteorite is -38409.09\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
