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

Ree is 27 inches tall on her first birthday. She grows around 6 inches per year after that. What is the rate of change for the s
RSB [31]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The rate of change in this scenario corresponds to the number of inches that Ree grows every year. Basically, Ree's height can be written as a linear equation as follows:

y=mx+q

where

x is the number of years after the first birthday

y is the height in inches

q = 27 is the height of Ree on her first birthday

m = 6 is the inches gained by Ree at each birthday

So the equation can also be rewritten as

y = 6x + 27

An astronaut is out in space with an extremely precise timing device measuring the speed of various fast‑moving objects. A laser
Leviafan [203]

Answer and Explanation:

with reference to Einstein's theory of special relativity, the speed of an electromagnetic radiation, here, laser will not change in any inertial frame or remains same irrespective of any change in inertial frame.

Therefore, the speed of light measured in both the cases, i.e., in astronaut's reference frame and spaceship's reference frame will be equal to the speed of light in vacuum, i.e., 3\times 10^{8} m/s.

The laser gun's speed in astronaut's reference frame is the same as the speed of the spaceship as it mounted on it, i.e., the speed of the laser gun is 200 million m/s.

The laser gun's speed measured in spaceship's reference frame will be zero, as it is mounted on the spaceship and is stationary in the spaceship's reference frame.

The box is pushed to the right with a force of 40 Newtons and it just begins to move what is the maximum static frictional force
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The maximum static frictional force is 40N.

Explanation:

When an object of mass M is on a surface with a coefficient of static friction μ, there is a minimum force that you need to apply to the object in order to "break" the coefficient of static friction and be able to move the object (Called the threshold of motion, once the object is moving we have a coefficient of kinetic friction, which is smaller than the one for static friction).

This coefficient defines the maximum static friction force that we can have.

So if we apply a small force and we start to increase it, the static frictional force will be equal to our force until it reaches its maximum, and then we can move the object and now we will have frictional force.

In this case, we know that we apply a force of 40N and the object just starts to move.

Then we can assume that we are just at the point of transition between static frictional force and kinetic frictional force (the threshold of motion), thus, 40 N is the maximum of the static frictional force.
