1 answer:
Incomplete question as the unit of volume is not written correctly.So the complete question is here:
A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock that displaces 89.0 cm³?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given data
Mass m=240g
Volume V=89.0 cm³
To find
Density d
Solution
If rock displaces 89.0 cm³ of water means volume of rock is also 89cm³

Answer:
<em>The object could fall from six times the original height and still be safe</em>
Explanation:
<u>Free Falling</u>
When an object is released from rest in free air (no friction), the motion is completely dependant on the acceleration of gravity g.
If we drop an object of mass m near the Earth surface from a height h, it has initial mechanical energy of
When the object strikes the ground, all the mechanical energy (only potential energy) becomes into kinetic energy
Where v is the speed just before hitting the ground
If we know the speed v is safe for the integrity of the object, then we can know the height it was dropped from
Solving for h
If the drop had occurred in the Moon, then
Where hM, vM and gM are the corresponding parameters on the Moon. We know v is the safe hitting speed and the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is g_M=1/6 g
This means the object could fall from six times the original height and still be safe
