If the resistance of the Air is ignored, we can use the theory given by Galileo in which he warned that the thermal velocity of a body in free fall was given by
Where
g = Gravitational acceleration
t = time
As we can see the speed of objects in free fall is indifferent to the position that is launched (as long as the resistance of the air is ignored) or its mass.
Both bodies will end with the same thermal speed.
Answer :
(1) The density of asphalt is,
(2) (a) Length, width and thickness of sheet in meter is, 0.35 m, 1.1 m and 0.015 m respectively.
(b) The volume and mass of slab is, 0.005775 m³ and 15.59 kg respectively.
Explanation :
<u>Part 1 :</u>
As we are given:
Mass of block = 90 kg
Volume of block =
Formula used :
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:
Thus, the density of asphalt is,
<u>Part 2(a) :</u>
As we are given that:
Length of aluminium sheet = 35 cm
Width of aluminium sheet = 11 dm
Thickness of aluminium sheet = 15 mm
Now we have to convert these dimensions into meters.
Conversions used:
1 cm = 0.01 m
1 dm = 0.1 m
1 mm = 0.001 m
Length of aluminium sheet = 35 cm = 35 × 0.01 = 0.35 m
Width of aluminium sheet = 11 dm = 11 × 0.1 = 1.1 m
Thickness of aluminium sheet = 15 mm = 15 × 0.001 = 0.015 m
<u>Part 2(b) :</u>
First we have to calculate the volume of aluminium sheet.
Volume of aluminum sheet (cuboid) = Length × Width × Thickness
Volume of aluminum sheet (cuboid) = 0.35 m × 1.1 m × 0.015 m
Volume of aluminum sheet (cuboid) = 0.005775 m³
Now we have to calculate the mass of aluminium sheet.
Thus, the volume and mass of slab is, 0.005775 m³ and 15.59 kg respectively.
