What is the approximate weight of a 20-kg cannonball on earth?

1 answer:

6 0

The weight of an object is taken to be the force on the object due to gravity. The weight ( W ) is the product of the mass ( m ) of the object and the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration ( g ).
On Earth: g = 9.81 m/s²
m = 20 kg
W = m · g = 20 kg · 9.81 m/s² = 196.2 N

A gold bar has a density of 19.3 g/mL. If the gold bar has a mass of 6.3 grams, what is the volume?

Natali [406]

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.32 mL".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Density of gold bar,

d = 19.3 g/mL

Mass of gold bar,

m = 6.3 grams

Now,

The volume will be:

⇒ $Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

or,

⇒ $Volume=\frac{Mass}{Density}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{6.3 \ g}{19.3 \ g/mL}$

⇒ $=0.32 \ mL$

A 35 kg box rests on the back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction bet?005 (part 1 of 2)A 35 kg box rests on the back

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of box=35 kg

Coefficient of static friction between box and truck bed=0.202

Acceleration due to gravity= $9.8 m/s^2$

a.We have to find the force by which the box accelerates forward.

Force by which box accelerates= $\mu mg=0.202\times 9.8\times 35$

Force by which box accelerates= $62.286 N$

b.We have to find the maximum acceleration can the truck have before the box slides.

Force =friction force

$ma=\mu mg$

$a=\mu g=9.8\times 0.202=1.9796 m/s^2$

Hence, the truck can have maximum acceleration before the box slide= $1.9796 m/s^2$

What happens to a light wave when it travels from air into glass?

tino4ka555 [31]

Light is refracted when it crosses the interface from air to glass in which it moves more slowly.
Since the light speed changes at the interface, the wave length of the light must change too. The wave length decreases as the light enter the medium and the light wave changes direction.
