Can you tell me if this is a poorly worded question?

NONE of the choices is a correct answer.

Density is (mass) DIVIDED BY (volume).

The volume of the black cube is

2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cm^3

It's density is 48/8 = 6 gm/cm^3

The volume of the yellow cube is

3 x 3 x 3 = 27 cm^3

Its density is 135/27 = 5 gm/cm^3

The black one is denser because the RATIO of its mass to its volume is greater.

The cubes are made of different substances.

The density only depends on the substance. It doesn't matter HOW MUCH of the substance there is. It's the RATIO that counts.

The black one would be denser even if one cube or the other was the size of a supertanker.

Which trial’s cart has the greatest momentum at the bottom of the ramp?
Licemer1 [7]
The momentum of each cart is given by:
p=mv
where
m is the mass of the cart
v is its velocity (at the bottom of the ramp)

To answer the problem, let's calculate the momentum of each of the 4 carts:
1) p=(200 kg)(6.5 m/s)=1300 kg m/s
2) p=(220 kg)(5.0 m/s)=1100 kg m/s
3) p=(240 kg)(6.4 m/s)= 1536 kg m/s
4) p=(260 kg)(4.8 m/s)=1248 kg m/s

Therefore, the cart with greatest momentum is cart 3, so the right answer is
<span>- trial 3, because this trial has a large mass and a large velocity</span>

Two students stand poised to leap off a high dive structure into the swimming pool below. Student B is twice as massive as stude
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: option (D)

Explanation:

The potential energy of each of the students is given below as

P.E(student A) = mgh, where m = mass of student A, g is acceleration due to gravity and h = height of the high dive structure.

The mass of student B is twice as much as that of A, hence his mass is 2m and his potential energy is given below as

P.E ( student B) =2mgh = 2(mgh)

Recall that the relationship between potential energy and work done is that

Work done = - (change in potential)

For student A, work done = - mgh

For student B, work done = - 2mgh

From the equations above it can be seen that student B will do twice the work in getting to the high dive structure than student A hence validating option D.

when preparing for a climb, many climbers will measure the air pressure at the highest altitudes to which they will be climbing.
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: Because even at high altitudes there is still plenty of oxygen for breathing. However, pressure is what drives the oxygen into the blood stream. At lower pressure we aren't able to breath because the pressure is not high enough to get the O2 into the blood.

if pete (mass =90.00kg) weighs himself and finds that he weighs 30.0 pounds, how far away from the earth is he?
Svet_ta [14]

Here we know that mass of the person is 90 kg

His weight is given as 30 lbf

so here we can convert it into Newton as we know that

1 lbf = 4.45 N

Now from above conversion

30 lbf = 30 \times 4.45 = 133.45 N

now we can use this to find the gravity at this height

mg = 133.45

90\times g = 133.45

g = 1.49 m/s^2

now we know that with height gravity varies as

g' = g(\frac{R}{R+H})^2

1.49 = 9.8(\frac{6.37\times 10^6}{6.37\times 10^6 + h})^2

h = 1.0 \times 10^7 m

so above is the height from the surface of earth
