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.

A particular X-ray photon has initial energy of 60 keV when it enters the body. This photon transmits through 30 cm of soft tiss

ankoles [38]

Answer:

E = 7.334 KeV

Explanation:

given,

initial energy = 60 keV

Δ x = 30 cm

$E = E_0e^{-\mu \Delta x}$

μ(for soft tissue) = 0.7 cm⁻¹ (taken from table)

$E = E_0e^{-0.7\times 20}$

E = 60 × 0.1224

E = 7.334 KeV

energy of x-ray photon after travelling through 30 cm soft tissue in body is E = 7.334 KeV

A thin, flat washer is a disk with an outer diameter of 14 cm and a hole in the center with a diameter of 7 cm. The washer has a

Kryger [21]

Answer:

2583.9 N/C

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Outer diameter = 14 cm

Outer radius, R = 7cm = 0.07m

Inner diameter = 7 cm

Inner radius, r = 3.5 cm = 0.035m

Charge of washer = 8 nC = 8 * 10^(-9)C

Distance from washer, z = 33 cm = 0.33m

The electric field due to a washer (hollow disk) is given as:

E = k * σ * 2π [ 1 - z/(√(z² + R²)]

Where σ = charge per unit area

σ = q/π(R² - r²)

σ = 8 * 10^(-9) /(π*(0.07 - 0.035)²)

σ = 2.077 * 10^(-6) C/m²

=> E = 9 * 10^9 * 2.077 * 10^(-6) * 2π * [1 - 0.33/(√(0.33² + 0.07²)]

E = 117.467 * 10^3 * (1 - 0.978)

E = 117.467 * 10^3 * 0.022

E = 2583.9 N/C

Needing help with this please

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

So A we cant sadly do because we cant draw. B is going to be kinetic. Thats because static friction means it stays in one place, for kinetic it means moving. So it will be 0.05 as the coefficient of the friction. Sadly, I cannot calculate C. You will have to use trigonemetry but I cannot fit that big an explanation.

Answer to A: the free body diagram would be the ski things inclined with gravity, friction, and air resistance. I except you know which directions

Answer to B: Kinetic friction is the answer.

Answer to C: Find on own, I cannot write super big explanations - use trigonometry.

The more you heat an object, the

The answer is D. The temperature obviously doesnt rise slower or faster, and if you are heating an object, it would make no sense to say that less heat is being transferred.

Answer:

To not exceed the 5,000 characters, see each answer with its explanation below.

Explanation:

Question 1.

A feather and a rock dropped at the same time from the same height would land at the same time when dropped by an astronaut on the moon.

The shape and mass of the feather that falls vertically down, through the air, cause the resistance of the air, that opposes the gravitational attraction of the Earth, to be considerably large, compared to the case of the rock.

This not negligible resistance of the air causes a drag on the feather that makes it fall more slowly than the rock.

Only on the moon, the almost absence of atmosphere (air) would cause the feather not to be dragged and, therefore, its acceleration will be the same as that of the rock, and both will fall with the same speed and land at the same time (there is a video in the internet that shows this experiment of the astronaut on the moon).

Question 2.

When the soccer ball is kicked, the action and reaction forces do not cancel each other out because the forces act on two different objects.

The third law of Newton, also known as the law of action and reaction, states that whenever an object experience a force (action force) from a second object, the first object will exert a force of equal size and opposite in direction (reaction force) over the second object.

Hence, the action and reaction forces act over distinct objects. The ball feels the action force (the kick) and the foot feels the reaction force from the ball; the forces do not cancel each other because they act on two different objects.

Question 3

An object is in projectile motion if it is thrown with a horizontal push.

The projectile motion is the combination of two motions: vertical motion and horizonal motion.

The vertical motion is ruled by the acceleration of gravity and will depend on both the inital vertical velocity and the acceleration of gravity.

The horizontal motion is ruled by the horizontal velocity. According with the inertia law (first law of Newton), in the absence of a horizontal force, only if the object departs with a horizontal velocity it will move horizontally.

Hence, an object can only be in projectile motion if it is thrown with a horizontal push.

Question 4

Acceleration of an object

increases as the force on the object increases.

decreases as the mass of the object increases.

is in the same direction as the force on the object.

All answers listed. ← correct answer

According to second law of Newton

$\vec{F}=m\times \vec{a}$

This is force equals mass time acceleration.

The force is a vector and the acceleration is a vector, then since mass is a positive scalar magnitude, both force and acceleration have the same direction.

Also, it is clear from the definition of force that it is proportional to both, the mass and the acceleration, then if either mass or acceleration increases (while the other remains equal) the force will increase, and if either mass or acceleration decreases (while the other remains constant) the force will decrease.

Hence, all the options are correct.

Question 5

The bowling ball will have more momentum because it has more mass.

Momentum, P, is the product of the mass (m) and the velocity (v).

$\vec{P}=m\times \vec{v}$

It is clear that the mass of the bowling ball is greater than the mass of the golf ball.

Hence, since they are moving at the same velocity, the product of the mass of the bowling ball times the velocity is greater than the product of the golf mass times the same velocity.

Question 6

An orbit is formed when an object is falling around another object, rather than into it.

An example of an object falling around another object is a rock falling in the Earth. The gravitaional pull of the Earth causes that the rock accelerates and falls vertically downward.

An example of an object falling around another object is a satellite around the Earth.

The Earth is continually pulling the satellite with vertical force and the inertia (initial velocity) of the satellite is causing it to move horizontally.

The combination of the gravitational force and the inertia cause the satellite to follow a projectile motion. When the satellite is to the correct distance it will not reach into the Earth but will continually move around the Earth following a circular path named orbit.

Question 7

When the force of gravity is matched by the force of air resistance, an object can reach terminal velocity (two word answer).

When the force of gravity matches the force of air resistance, the net force on the falling object is zero.

Hence, as per the second Law of Newton, force equals the product of the mass and the acceleration, the acceleration is also zero.

Zero acceleration means constant velocity.

That constant velocity is a limit or maximum for the velocity that an object can reach when falling and is called terminal velocity.
