A spring scale calibrated in kilograms is used to determine the density of a rock specimen. The reading on the spring scale is 0

.45 kg when the specimen is suspended in air and 0.36 kg when the specimen is fully submerged in water. If the density of water is 1000 kg/m3, the density of the rock specimen is_________.

Answer:

5000 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Here. we are asked to calculate the density of the rock specimen.

we proceed as follows;

mass of water displaced is calculated by finding the difference between the actual and apparent masses

This has a value of 0.45kg - 0.36kg = 0.09kg

The rock and water that is displaced have exactly the same volume and thus their densities is the same. This makes the ratio of their masses to be the same

Ratio of masses is

0.45 / 0.09 = 5.0

Here we can see that the mass of the rock is five times the mass of the water so it must be five times denser

Thus, since the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 , the density of rock is 5000 kg/m^3

Anvisha [2.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the friend, W = 600 N

When the friend sits on the metal frame it bends downward 4 cm, we can say that the compression in the it is 4 cm or 0.04 m

To find,

Spring constant for this chair or k

Solve :

The weight of an object is equal to the force exerted by the gravitational force, F = 600 N

According to Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring is given by :

F = kx

k is the spring constant

k=\dfrac{F}{x}

k=\dfrac{600\ N}{0.04\ m}

k = 15000 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 15000 N/m.

balandron [24]

Answer:

a. 45 N. / b. 0.08 m/s^2. / c. 102 N

F = ma

F = 15(3)

F = 45 newtons

F/m = a

20/250 = a

0.08 m/s^2 = a

R = ma

R =1.5(68)

102 N

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco
Reika [66]

Answer:

t=750s

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt

x_f is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

x_0_1=6km\\x_0_2=0

We have x_f_1=x_f_2. Thus, solving for t:

x_0_1+v_1t=x_0_2+v_2t\\x_0_1=t(v_2-v_1)\\t=\frac{x_0_1}{v_2-v_1}\\t=\frac{6*10^3m}{28\frac{m}{s}-20\frac{m}{s}}\\t=750s
