1. A piece of metal weighs 50.0 N in air, 36.0 N in water, and 41.0 N in an unknown

denis23 [38]

Answer:

a) 3.37 x $10^{3} kg/m^3$

b) 6.42kg/ $m^{3}$

Explanation:

a) Firstly we would calculate the volume of the metal using it`s weight in air and water , after finding the weight we would find the density .

Weight of metal in air = 50N = mg implies the mass of metal is 5kg.

Now the difference of weight of the metal in air and water = upthrust acting on it = volume (metal) p (liquid) g = V (1000)(10) = 14N. So volume of metal piece = 14 x $10^{-4}$ $kg/m^{3}$ . So density of metal = mass of metal / volume of metal = 5 / 14 x $10^{-4}$ $kg/m^{3}$ = 3.37 x $10^{3} kg/m^3$

b) Water exerts a buoyant force to the metal which is 50−36 = 14N, which equals the weight of water displaced. The mass of water displaced is 14/10 = 1.4kg Since the density of water is 1kg/L, the volume displaced is 1.4L. Hence, we end up with 3.57kg/l. Moreover, the unknown liquid exerts a buoyant force of 9N. So the density of this liquid is 6.42kg/ $m^{3}$

a lump of putty and a rubber ball have equal mass. both are thrown with equal speed against a wall. the putty sticks to the wall

RUDIKE [14]

The bouncy ball experiences the greater momentum change.

To understand why, you need to remember that momentum is actually
a vector quantity ... it has a size AND it has a direction too.

The putty and the ball have the same mass, and you throw them
with the same speed. So, on the way from your hand to the wall,
they both have the same momentum.
Call it " M in the direction toward the wall ".

After they both hit the wall:

-- The putty has zero momentum.
Its momentum changed by an amount of M .

-- The ball has momentum of " M in the direction away from the wall ".
Its momentum changed by an amount of 2M .
