As mentioned before, our asteroid is in the shape of a sphere and has a mass of 1000 kilograms. Determine the density (in grams

per cubic centimeter) of this asteroid if its diameter is known to be 1.2 meters. Useful information: 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 m = 100 cm, volume of sphere = 4/3 ? r3. Remember that the radius of a sphere is equal to half its diameter. Show all of your work. (20 points)

Answer: 1.1052g/cm^{3}

Explanation:

Density D is a characteristic property of a material and is defined as the relationship between the mass m and volume V of a specific substance or material. So, the density of the asteroid is given by the following equation:

D=\frac{m}{V}   (1)

On the other hand, we know the asteroid has a mass m=1000kg and is spherical. This means its volume is given by the following formula:

V=\frac{4}{3}}\pi r^{3}   (2)

Where r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.2m}{2}=0.6m  is the radius of the sphere and is half its diameter d.

Knowing this, we can calculate the volume:

V=\frac{4}{3}}\pi (0.6m)^{3}   (3)

V=0.904m^{3}   (4)

Substituting (4) in (1):

D=\frac{1000kg}{0.904m^{3}}=1105.242\frac{kg}{m^{3}}   (5) This is the density of the asteroid, but we were asked to find it in \frac{g}{cm^{3}}. This means we have to make the conversion:

D=1105.242\frac{kg}{m^{3}}.\frac{1000g}{1kg}.\frac{1m^{3}}{(100cm)^{3}}

Finally:

D=1.1052\frac{g}{cm^{3}}

What's the formula to find out power
Julli [10]

In general, 

                 Power = (energy moved) / (time to move the energy) .

If it's mechanical power, then     

                 Power = (work done) / (time to do the work) .

If it's electrical power, then it can be any one of these:

                 Power  =  (volts)  x  (amperes)

                 Power  =  (volts)²  /  (resistance, ohms)

                 Power  =  (amperes)²  x  (resistance, ohms) .

Whatever kind of energy you're dealing with, power always
turns out to be

                  (amount of energy produced, used, or moved)
divided by
                  (time taken to produce, use, or move the energy) .

If a cart of 10 kg mass has a force of 5 newtons exerted on it, what is its acceleration? m/s2
Elza [17]

Answer:

= 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

  • According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportion to the rate of change of linear momentum.

Therefore;<em> F = ma , where F is the Force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.</em>

<em>Thus; a = F/m</em>

<em>but; F = 5 N, and m = 10 kg</em>

<em>  a = 5 /10</em>

    <u>= 0.5 m/s²</u>

vredina [299]

Explanation:

Total mass=100+10=110

Total weight=mass×gravitational field strength

=110×10

=1100N

Work done=force×distance

=1100×10

=11000J
