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 man is standing near the edge of a cliff 85 meters high. he throws a stone upward vertically with an intial velocity of 10 m/s
alex41 [277]

Answer:

h = 90.10 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A man is standing near the edge of a cliff 85 meters high, h₀ = 85 m

The initial speed of the stone, u = 10 m/s

The path followed by the projectile is given by :

h(t)=-4.9t^2+10t+85 ....(1)

For maximum height,

Put dh/dt = 0

So,

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=-9.8t+10=0\\\\t=\dfrac{10}{9.8}\\\\=1.02\ s

Put the value of t in equation (1).

h(t)=-4.9(1.02)^2+10(1.02)+85\\\\=90.10\ m

So, the maximum height of the stone is equal to 90.10 m.

A man does 500 j work pushing a car a distance of 2m how much force does he apply
olasank [31]

Answer: 250 N

Explanation:

Use equation for work

W=F*d

d=2m

W=500J

F=?

-----------------------

W=Fd

F=W/d

F=500J/2m

F=250N

An office heater puts out 2050 btus of energy in the form of heat per hour. given that 1 btus =1.055 kj, how many megajoules of
ivolga24 [154]
<span>Assuming continuous operation (24/7), we can say that

Energy produced : Energy per hour * 24 (number of hours in a day) - 365 (number of days in a year.

Energy per hour: 2050 * 1.055 = 2162.75 kg.

So, we proceed to calculate the results

E: 2162.75 * 24 * 365 = 18,945,690 kj per year.

Now, we transform kj to megajoule, remembering that kilo is 10*3 and mega is 1'*6, so we divide the result by 1,000 in order to get the results in megajoules, and the answer would be:

18,945.69 megajoules can be produced per year.</span>
