A student measures the mass 8cm3 block of brown sugar to be 12.9g. what is the density of the brown sugar

Answer:

$1.6\ g/cm^{3}$

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume of an object expressed as $\rho=\frac {m}{v}$ where $\rho$ is the density, m is the mass of sugar and v is the volume of the sugar. Considering that the volume is given as 8cm3 for sugar then we substitute this for v and mass of 12.9 g we substitute for g then the density will be

$\rho=\frac {12.9 g}{8 cm3}=1.6125\ g/cm^{3}\approx 1.6\ g/cm^{3}$

Explain a police role, and how important it is. also you can explain a mayor's role and how important it is...

A police's role in the community is to protect us and make sure that everyone is following the rules. it is important for a police to be there so we can be safe. Their status is fair enough. Another Example is a mayor. a mayor's job is to improve the city/ the community. His status is high. There are many people around us that help us, each with a different status.

The weight of an astronaut plus his space suit on the Moon is only 250 N. (a) How much does the suited astronaut weigh on Earth?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a)1500N

b)153.06kg

Explanation:

F = ma

g(moon) = is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon

g(earth) is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth

g(moon) = 1/6g(earth)

g(earth) =6g(moon)

F(gearth) = mg(earth)

= m 6g(moon)

= 6 × 250

= 1500N

b) F(gearth) = mg(earth)

m = F /g

= 1500/9.8

= 153.06kg

sukhopar [10]

Answer: The average speed is 27,24 mph (exactly 1008/37 mph)

Explanation:

This is solved using a three rule: We know the speeds and the distances, what we can obtain from it is the time used. It is done like this:

1h--->18mi

X ---->20 mi, then X=20mi*1h/18mi= 10/9 h=1,111 h

1h--->56mi

X ---->20 mi, then X=20mi*1h/56mi= 5/14 h=0,35714 h

Then the average speed is calculated by taking into account that it was traveled 40mi and the time used was 185/126 h=1,468 h and since speed is distance over time we get the answer. Average speed= 40mi/(185/126 h)=1008/37 mph=27,24 mph.

Harman [31]

Answer:

A) 1.55

B) 1.55

C) 12.92

D) 34.08

E) 57.82

Explanation:

The free body diagram attached, R is the radius of the wheel

Block B is lighter than block A so block A will move upward while A downward with the same acceleration. Since no snipping will occur, the wheel rotates in clockwise direction.

At the centre of the whee, torque due to B is given by

${\tau _2} = - {T_{\rm{B}}}R$

Similarly, torque due to A is given by

${\tau _1} = {T_{\rm{A}}}R$

The sum of torque at the pivot is given by

$\tau = {\tau _1} + {\tau _2}$

Replacing ${\tau _1}$ and ${\tau _2}$ by ${T_{\rm{A}}}R$ and $- {T_{\rm{B}}}R$ respectively yields

$\begin{array}{c}\\\tau = {T_{\rm{A}}}R - {T_{\rm{B}}}R\\\\ = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R\\\end{array}$

Substituting $I\alpha$ for $\tau$ in the equation $\tau = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R$

$I\alpha=\left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R$

$\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$

The angular acceleration of the wheel is given by $\alpha = \frac{a}{R}$

where a is the linear acceleration

Substituting $\frac{a}{R}$ for $\alpha$ into equation

$\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$ we obtain

$\frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$

Net force on block A is

${F_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {T_{\rm{A}}}$

Net force on block B is

${F_{\rm{B}}} = {T_{\rm{B}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}g$

Where g is acceleration due to gravity

Substituting ${m_{\rm{B}}}a$ and ${m_{\rm{A}}}a$ for ${F_{\rm{B}}}$ and ${F_{\rm{A}}}$ respectively into equation $\frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$ and making a the subject we obtain

$\begin{array}{c}\\{m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a - \left( {{m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a} \right) = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g - \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)a = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)a = \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g\\\\a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}\\\end{array}$

Since ${m_{\rm{B}}}$ = 3kg and ${m_{\rm{B}}}$ = 7kg

g=9.81 and R=0.12m, I=0.22 ${\rm{ kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^2}$

Substituting these we obtain

$a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\a = \frac{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} - 3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)}}{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} + 3{\rm{ kg}} + \frac{{0.22{\rm{ kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^2}}}{{{{\left( {0.120{\rm{ m}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)}}\\\\ = 1.55235{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}$

Therefore, the linear acceleration of block A is 1.55 ${\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}$

(B)

For block B

${a_{\rm{B}}} = {a_{\rm{A}}}$

Therefore, the acceleration of both blocks A and B are same

1.55 ${\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}$

(C)

The angular acceleration is $\alpha = \frac{a}{R}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\\alpha = \frac{{1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}}}{{0.120{\rm{ m}}}}\\\\ = 12.92{\rm{ rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}$

Tension on left side of cord is calculated using

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = {m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{B}}}\left( {g + a} \right)\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = \left( {3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} + 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 34.08{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}$

(E)

Tension on right side of cord is calculated using

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{A}}}\left( {g - a} \right)\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = \left( {7{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} – 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 57.82{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}$
