Why is a block of gold is more dense than a block of iron of equal size?

1 answer:

6 0

Gold has almost 4 times the atomic weight of iron. Check the table of elements.Density is Mass divided by its volume, right? Gold has a higher atomic weight than iron, so it will be much heavier.

A space station, in the form of a wheel 119 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 2.20 m/s2 for persons w

Rina8888 [55]

Well, since it's in the shape of a wheel and the person walks around the edge of it, they must have a centripetal acceleration. Since a=v^2/r you can solve for "v" using 2.20 as your "a" and 59.5 as your "r" (r=half of the diameter).
 a=v^2/r
v=(a*r)^(1/2)=((2.20)*(59.5))^(1/2)= 11.44 m/s.
 After you get "v," plugged that into T=2 pi r/ v. This will give you the 1rev per sec.
 T=2 pi r/ v= T=(2)*(pi)*(59.5)/(11.44)= 32.68 rev/s
 Use dimensional analysis to get rev per min (1rev / # sec) times (60 sec/min).
(32.68 rev/s)(60 s/min)= 1960.74 rev/min

The spring constant is 181.0 N/m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by applying the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the elastic potential energy initially stored in the compressed spring is completely converted into gravitational potential energy of the dart when the dart is at its maximum height. Therefore, we can write:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = mgh$

where the term on the left represents the elastic potential energy of the spring while the term on the right is the gravitational potential energy of the dart at maximum height, and where

k is the spring constant of the spring

x = 2.08 cm = 0.0208 m is the compression of the spring

m = 12.3 g = 0.00123 kg is the mass of the dart

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity
