Answer:

Volume of the sample: approximately \rm 0.6422 \; L = 6.422 \times 10^{-4} \; m^{3}.

Average density of the sample: approximately \rm 2.77\; g \cdot cm^{3} = 2.778 \times 10^{3}\; kg \cdot m^{3}.

Assumption:

  • \rm g = 9.81\; N \cdot kg^{-1}.
  • \rho(\text{water}) = \rm  1.000\times 10^{3}\; kg \cdot m^{-3}.
  • Volume of the cord is negligible.

Explanation:

<h3>Total volume of the sample</h3>

The size of the buoyant force is equal to \rm 17.50 - 11.20 = 6.30\; N.

That's also equal to the weight (weight, m \cdot g) of water that the object displaces. To find the mass of water displaced from its weight, divide weight with g.

\displaystyle m = \frac{m\cdot g}{g} = \rm \frac{6.30\; N}{9.81\; N \cdot kg^{-1}} \approx 0.642\; kg.

Assume that the density of water is \rho(\text{water}) = \rm  1.000\times 10^{3}\; kg \cdot m^{-3}. To the volume of water displaced from its mass, divide mass with density \rho(\text{water}).

\displaystyle V(\text{water displaced}) = \frac{m}{\rho} = \rm \frac{0.642\; kg}{1.000\times 10^{3}\; kg \cdot m^{-3}} \approx 6.42201 \times 10^{-4}\; m^{3}.

Assume that the volume of the cord is negligible. Since the sample is fully-immersed in water, its volume should be the same as the volume of water it displaces.

V(\text{sample}) = V(\text{water displaced}) \approx \rm 6.422\times 10^{-4}\; m^{3}.

<h3>Average Density of the sample</h3>

Average density is equal to mass over volume.

To find the mass of the sample from its weight, divide with g.

\displaystyle m = \frac{m \cdot g}{g} = \rm \frac{17.50\; N}{9.81\; N \cdot kg^{-1}} \approx 1.78389 \; kg.

The volume of the sample is found in the previous part.

Divide mass with volume to find the average density.

\displaystyle \rho(\text{sample, average}) = \frac{m}{V} = \rm \frac{1.78389\; kg}{6.42201 \times 10^{-4}\; m^{3}} \approx 2.778\; kg \cdot m^{-3}.

A third baseman makes a throw to first base 40.5 m away. The ball leaves his hand with a speed of 30.0 m/s at a height of 1.4 m
Ugo [173]

Answer:

When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity = 30 cos17.3 = 28.64 m/s

   Horizontal displacement = 40.5 m

   Time  

         t=\frac{40.5}{28.64}=1.41s          

   Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

Vertical velocity = 30 sin17.3 = 8.92 m/s

    Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

    Acceleration = -9.81m/s²

    Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

             s = 8.92 x 1.41 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 1.41²= 2.83 m

    Height of throw = 1.4 m

    Height traveled by ball = 2.83 m

    Total height = 2.83 + 1.4 = 4.23 m

    When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.
