a student measure the mass of an 8 cm^3 block of brown sugar to be 12.9 g. what is the density of the brown sugar?

1 answer:

4 0

Density = mass / volume ;
1 Cubic Centimeter = 0,000001 Cubic Meter
8 cm^3 = 0.000008 m^3
12,9 g = 0,0129 kg

The density is 0,0129 kg/ 0,000008 m^3 = 1612,5 kg/m^3

Hooke's law. The distance d when a spring is stretched by a hanging objective varies directly as the weight w of the object. If

Fofino [41]

Hooke's law is F=-kx, which means the elastic force contained by the spring is a product of the distance it stretches and its spring constant, but the direction of the force is opposite that of the displacement. We calculate as follows:

(3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = -k(-0.38 m)
k = 77.4

Then use k to find the new displacement, again using Hooke's law:
(7 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = -(77.4)x
x = -0.89 m

C. Series

Consider resistors in a circuit - if all the resistors in the circuit are in series and one of the resistors fails then no current can flow thru the circuit,

If the resistors are in parallel then then each resistor experiences the same voltage drop regardless of whether or not any resistor in particular is carrying current.

In major league baseball, the pitcher's mound is 60 feet from the batter. If a pitcher throws a 85 mph fastball, how much time e

Nostrana [21]

The given from your problem are the following:
V = 85mph (This is miles per hour)
d = 60 feet

If you notice the units do not match. Before we can do anything else, we need to make the figures match.

In this case, we will convert 85miles per hour to feet per hour. There are 5,280 feet in 1 mile.
$\frac{85miles }{hr}$ x $\frac{5,280feet}{1miles} = \frac{448,800feet}{hr}$

But wait! If you think about the scenario, you are looking for how long it will take for the ball to reach the bat. The most applicable unit of time to use here is second. It would be very hard to really measure a short and instantaneous event in hours. So we convert it into feet per second:

There are 3,600 seconds in 1 hour.

$\frac{448,800feet }{hour}$ x $\frac{1hour}{3,600seconds} = \frac{448,800feet}{3,600 seconds} = 124.67ft/s$

So now we have our new given as:

v = 124.67ft/s
d = 60 ft

The formula for time can be derived from the formula from velocity, which is:
$velocity = \frac{distance}{time}$

The formula of time will then be:
$time= \frac{distance}{velocity}$

All you need to do is plug in what you know and solve for what you don't know.

$time= \frac{60feet}{124.67ft/s}$

$time= 0.48s$

The answer then is 0.48s.

If you want this in hours, just divide the value in seconds by 3,600. The answer would then be 0.00013hr. (See how small it is? This is why seconds would be a more appropriate measure.)

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1,500 kg car that is moving at a speed of 42 km/h

Rzqust [24]

Data:
KE (Kinetic Energy) = ? (Joule)
m (mass) = 1500 Kg
v (speed) = 42 Km/h
converting to m/s (42 / 3.6), we have: v (speed) = 11.6 m/s

Formula:
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} m*v^2$

Solving:
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} m*v^2$
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} *1500*(11.6)^2$
$K_{E} = \frac{1}{2} *1500*134.56$
$K_{E} = \frac{201840}{2}$
$\boxed{\boxed{K_{E} = 100920\:Joule}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
