Density = (mass) / (volume)

Density = (6 g) / (15 cm³)

Density = (6/15) (g/cm³)

Density = 0.4 g/cm³

This 'metal' has less than half the density of water, and it floats on water ! It cannot be of Earthly origin, and must have been dropped here by aliens.

Either that, or else the metal has been hammered and stretched and beaten out and shaped so that it has an artificially large volume ... something like the way sailing ships are made out of thick plates of steel.

Answer:

0.4 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The density of an object can be found using the following formula.

d= m/v

where m is the mass and v is the volume.

The mass of the metal is 6 grams and the volume is 15 centimeters^3

m=6 g

v= 15 cm^3

Substitute these into the formula.

d= 6 g/ 15 cm^3

Divide 6 g by 15 cm^3 (6/15=0.4)

d= 0.4 g/ cm^3

The density of the metal is 0.4 grams per cubic centimeter.

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Explanation:

The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy

Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C

Kinetic energy of the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)

= 8.459 × 10⁻¹³

k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²

Kinetic energy = potential energy = k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus

r = ( 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

John walks 1.00 km north, then turns right and walks 1.00 km east. His speed is 1.50 m/s during the entire stroll.a) What is the

avanturin [10]

Answer:

(a) 1.414 km

(b) 1.06 m/s

Explanation:

(a) For John:

Distance = 1 km north and then 1 km east

Speed = 1.5 m/s

total distance traveled = 1 + 1 = 2 km = 2000 m

Time taken to travel = Distance / speed

t = 2000 / 1.5 = 1333.3 seconds

Displacement = $\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}}=1.414 km$

(b) For jane :

Time is same as john = 1333.33 second

Distance = 1.414 km = 1414 m

Speed = distance / time = 1414 / 1333.33 = 1.06 m/s

Which has the larger kinetic energy, a 10 g bullet fired at 400 m/s or a 80 kg bowling ball rolled at 6.5 m/s ?

mixer [17]

Formulae for Kinetic energy is:
Kinetic Energy= 1/2xmassx(velocity)^2

For comparison we need to have same units,thus we convert 10g into Kg.
10g/1000=0.01Kg

Input the value of bullet in the formulae;
Kinetic Energy= 1/2x0.01kgx(400)^2
K.E=800J

Input value of the ball:
Kinetic Energy=1/2x80kgx(6.5)^2
K.E=1690J

Which means that th Energy of the ball is more than the bullet.

A car moved 60 meters west in 2 hours. What is its average velocity?

Fofino [41]

Explanation: Velocity is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. Two measurements are needed to determine velocity. Displacement and time. Displacement includes a direction, so velocity also includes a direction. Speed with direction. Velocity can be an average velocity or an instantaneous velocity. Units for velocity are the same as for speed: m/s, km/h, and mph. Delta x(Δx) is the symbol used for displacement. Delta (Δ) means to "change in." Δx means to "change in position." Δx is calculated by final position minus initial position. Velocity formula: → v=Δx/t as a fraction.

v=Δx/t

$v=\frac{xf-xi}{t}= \frac{60m}{2}=30m$

Final answer is 30.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
