Answer: 0.24g/ml

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of water displaced = 23.5 ml

Mass of cork = 5.7 g

Density of the cork = ?

Recall that density is obtained by dividing the mass of a substance by the volume of water displaced.

i.e Density = Mass/volume

Density = 5.7g /23.5ml

Density = 0.24g/ml

Thus, the density of the piece of cork is 0.24g/ml

First compute the resultant force F:

$\mathbf F_1=(5.90\,\mathbf i-5.60\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm N$

$\mathbf F_2=(4.65\,\mathbf i-5.55\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm N$

$\implies\mathbf F=\mathbf F_1+\mathbf F_2=(10.55\,\mathbf i-11.15\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm N$

Then use Newton's second law to determine the acceleration vector $\mathbf a$ for the particle:

$\mathbf F=m\mathbf a$

$(10.55\,\mathbf i-11.15\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm N=(2.10\,\mathrm{kg})\mathbf a$

$\mathbf a\approx(5.02\,\mathbf i-5.31\,\mathbf j)\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

Let $\mathbf x(t)$ and $\mathbf v(t)$ denote the particle's position and velocity vectors, respectively.

(a) Use the fundamental theorem of calculus. The particle starts at rest, so $\mathbf v(0)=0$ . Then the particle's velocity vector at <em>t</em> = 10.4 s is

$\mathbf v(10.4\,\mathrm s)=\mathbf v(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^{10}\mathbf a(u)\,\mathrm du$

$\mathbf v(10.4\,\mathrm s)=\left((5.02\,\mathbf i-5.31\,\mathbf j)u\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\bigg|_{u=0}^{u=10.4}$

$\mathbf v(10.4\,\mathrm s)\approx(52.2\,\mathbf i-55.2\,\mathbf j)\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

If you don't know calculus, then just use the formula,

$v_f=v_i+at$

So, for instance, the velocity vector at <em>t</em> = 10.4 s has <em>x</em>-component

$v_{f,x}=0+\left(5.02\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(10.4\,\mathrm s)=52.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

(b) Compute the angle $\theta$ for $\mathbf v(10.4\,\mathrm s)$ :

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{-55.2}{52.2}\implies\theta\approx-46.6^\circ$

so that the particle is moving at an angle of about 313º counterclockwise from the positive <em>x</em> axis.

(c) We can find the velocity at any time <em>t</em> by generalizing the integral in part (a):

$\mathbf v(t)=\mathbf v(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^t\mathbf a\,\mathrm du$

$\implies\mathbf v(t)=\left(5.02\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t\,\mathbf i+\left(-5.31\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t\,\mathbf j$

Then using the fundamental theorem of calculus again, we have

$\mathbf x(10.4\,\mathrm s)=\mathbf x(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^{10.4}\mathbf v(u)\,\mathrm du$

where $\mathbf x(0)=(-1.75\,\mathbf i+4.15\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm m$ is the particle's initial position. So we get

$\mathbf x(10.4\,\mathrm s)=(-1.75\,\mathbf i+4.15\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm m+\displaystyle\int_0^{10.4}\left(\left(5.02\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u\,\mathbf i+\left(-5.31\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u\,\mathbf j\right)\,\mathrm du$

$\mathbf x(10.4\,\mathrm s)=(-1.75\,\mathbf i+4.15\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm m+\dfrac12\left(\left(5.02\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u^2\,\mathbf i+\left(-5.31\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u^2\,\mathbf j\right)\bigg|_{u=0}^{u=10.4}$

$\mathbf x(10.4\,\mathrm s)\approx(542\,\mathbf i-570\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm m$

So over the first 10.4 s, the particle is displaced by the vector

$\mathbf x(10.4\,\mathrm s)-\mathbf x(0)\approx(270\,\mathbf i-283\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm m-(-1.75\,\mathbf i+4.15\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm m\approx(272\,\mathbf i-287\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm m$

or a net distance of about 395 m away from its starting position, in the same direction as found in part (b).

(d) See part (c).

Relate the changes in molecular motion of particles as hey change from solid to liquid to gas.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

as they go from solid to liquis to gas they heat up from thermal energy. that thermal energy then excites the molecules making them move faster causing them to change phases.
