4. A metal fork has a density of 7.8 g/cm ³. Is this fork made up of aluminum?

No, aluminum has a density near 2.7 g/cm^3 
<span>7.8 g/cm^3 is near the density of iron (or in the case of a fork, steel).
this is it

A bungee jumper has a mass of 60kg and uses a 25m long bungee cord (unstretched length) with an elastic coefficient of 800N/m. a
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

a ) 2.68 m / s

b )  1.47 m

Explanation:

The jumper will go down with acceleration as long as net force on it becomes zero . Net force of (mg - kx ) will act on it  where kx is the restoring force acting in upward direction.

At the time of equilibrium

mg - kx = 0

x = mg / k

= (60 x 9.8 ) / 800

= 0.735 m

At this moment , let its velocity be equal to V

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy of jumper + elastic energy of cord = loss of potential energy of the jumper

1/2 m V² + 1/2 k x² = mg x

.5 x 60 x V² + .5 x 800 x .735 x .735 = 60 x 9.8 x .735

30 V² + 216.09 = 432.18

V = 2.68 m / s

b ) At lowest point , kinetic energy is zero and loss of potential energy will be equal to stored elastic energy.

1/2 k x² = mgx

x = 2 m g / k

= (2 x 60 x 9.8) / 800

= 1.47 m

A 10-foot ladder is leaning straight up against a wall when a person begins pulling the base of the ladder away from the wall at
docker41 [41]

Answer:

y = 4.36

Explanation:

Let the height of the ladder be L

L = 10

Also:

  • Let x = distance\ from\ the\ base\ of\ the\ ladder
  • Let y = height\ of\ the\ base\ of\ the\ ladder

When the ladder leans against the wall, it forms a triangle and the length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse.

So, we have:

L^2 = x^2 + y^2 --- Pythagoras Theorem

When the base is 9ft from the wall, this means that:

x = 9

Substitute 9 for x and 10 for L in L^2 = x^2 + y^2

10^2 = 9^2 + y^2

100 = 81 + y^2

Make y^2 the subject

y^2 = 100 - 81

y^2 = 19

Make y the subject

y = \sqrt{19

y = 4.36

<em>Hence, the true distance at that point is approximately 4.36ft</em>

A series of optical telescopes produced an image that has a resolution of about 0.00350 arc second.
Mila [183]

Answer:

The smallest diameter is D =122 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The resolution of the telescope is \theta  =  0.00350 \ arc \ second

           The wavelength is  \lambda = 1.70 \mu m = 1.70 *10^{-6} \ m

From the question we are told that

        1 arc \ sec = \frac{1}{3600^o}

So      0.00350 \ arc \ second = x

Therefore

             x =  0.00350  *  \frac{1}{3600 }

              x = ( 9.722*10^{-7} )^o

Now  1^o  =  \frac{\pi}{180}

   So  (9.722*10^{-7})^o =  \theta

  =>    \theta  =  (9.722*10^{-7}) * \frac{\pi}{180}

           \theta  =  1.69*10^{-8} rad

The smallest diameter is mathematically represented  as

          D = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{\theta  }

substituting values

           D = \frac{1.22 * 1.7 *10^{-6}} {1.69 *10^{-8}  }

           D =122 \ m

What are the differences and relationships between speed, velocity, and acceleration
melamori03 [73]

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.
