A block of wood is 4 cm wide, 5 cm long, and 10 cm high. It weighs 100 grams. Calculate its volume. Calculate its density. Will

the block sink or float in water? Explain. (Remember, the density of water is 1.0 g/cm3.)

Answer:

V=200cm^3\\\\\rho =0.500g/cm^3

It will float.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, given the width, length and height, we can compute the volume as follows:

V=W*L*H\\\\V=4cm*5cm*10cm\\\\V=200cm^3

Moreover, since the density is computed via the division of the mass by the volume:

\rho =\frac{m}{V}

We obtain:

\rho =\frac{100g}{200cm^3} \\\\\rho =0.500g/cm^3

In such a way, since the solid has a lower density than the water, we infer it will float.

Best regards.

A pendulum has 294 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
baherus [9]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to the other.


Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.


Mathematically also potential energy is represented as


Potential energy= mgh


Where m is the mass of the pendulum.


g is the acceleration due to gravity


h is the height from the bottom z the ground.


At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.


The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as


Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2


Where m is the mass of the pendulum


v is the velocity of the pendulum


At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.


Energy can neither be created e destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another. Implying this law and the above explainations we conclude that at the bottom of the pendulum,the potential energy=0 and the kinetic energy=294J as the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom.

jasenka [17]
Answer is B. 

In a lever, the effort arm is 2 times as a long as the load arm. The resultant force will be twice the applied force.

Hope it helped you.

A 3 kg rubber block is resting on wet concrete. The coefficient of static friction is 0.3. What is the minimum force that must b
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

You would have to find the friction force of the rubber block which would be found with the equation of Normal force (mass*gravity) times cooeficient of friction which would give 8.82 N for the amount of friction and because you need more force than 8.82 N (assuming gravity is 9.8)

Do the rock layers from the various locations that you investigated record evidence of an asteroid impact on Earth? Make a CLAIM
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Drilling into the seafloor off Mexico, scientists have extracted a unique geologic record of the single worst day in the history of life on Earth, when a city-sized asteroid smashed into the planet 65 million years ago, wiping out the dinosaurs and three-quarters of all other life.

Their analysis of these new rock samples from the Chicxulub crater, made public Monday, reveals a parfait of debris deposited in layers almost minute-by-minute at the heart of the impact during the first day of a global catastrophe. It records traces of the explosive melting, massive earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and wildfires as the immense asteroid blasted a hole 100 miles wide and 12 miles deep, the scientists said.
