One component of a metal sculpture consists of a solid cube with an edge of length 24.5 cm . The alloy used to make the cube has
boyakko [2]

Answer:

118kg

Explanation:

answered

Given

density of the cube= 8050 kg/m3 .

length of the sizes of the cube=24.5 cm

We can convert the length to cm for unit consistency.

It's length =24.5 cm =0.245m

✓ the length of sizes of the cube is the same, then the volume can be calculated as

Volume= L^3

= (0.245m)^3

=0.01470625 m^3

✓ but we know that

Density = mass/ volume

Then,

Mass= (Volume × density)

= (0.01470625)(8050)

= 118 kg

Hence, the mass of the cube is 118 kg

A person jumps from the roof of a house 3.5-m high. When he strikes the ground below, he bends his knees so that his torso decel
Korvikt [17]

The force exerted on his torso by his legs during the deceleration is 4365 N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass of the torso m=45kg

Height of the building s=3.5 m

Decelerating distance=0.71 m

when he jumps to the ground, the only acceleration is acceleration due to gravity g

<u>motion1 from top to ground </u>

initial velocity u=0

we have to calculate final velocity v using the following equation of motion.

v^2-u^2=2gs\\v^2-0^2=2\times 9.8\times3.5=68.6\\v=\sqrt{68.6} \\=8.3

use height of the building as the distance s as the jump from top to the ground is only described here.

<u>Motion 2 on the ground</u>

v=0

u=8.3(final  velocity of motion 1)

The deceleration after striking the ground can  be calculated from the equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\\a=v^2-u^2/2\times 0.71\\=0^2-8.3^2/0.71=97 m/s^2

The decelerating distance is used in the place of s since since the motion after hitting the ground is described in this case.

The equation of force is

F=ma\\=45\times 97=4365 N

Answer:

1. A solid can diffuse into a liquid, but a solid cannot diffuse into another solid.

3. A liquid can diffuse into another liquid.

4. A gas can diffuse into another gas.​

Explanation:

When an object is in liquid or gas form, they can easily move and spread. This is because the molecules are packed loosely. Since they can move freely, diffusion on and into gas/liquid can be easily achieved.  

Solid form can diffuse into liquid too. Seawater is mostly made of water and solid salt. But diffusing a solid into a solid is not possible since the molecule is tightly packed and barely moves. The diffusion might be happening, but at a really slow rate that we can assume it is not.
