How can you use the volume of some quantity of a pure substance to calculate its mass

Physics

dangina [55]3 years ago

Firstly, you must identify the pure substance first. Then, from a reliable source obtain its density. Density is calculated through the equation,
                                   
                                  density = mass / volume

From this equation, the volume can be calculated.
                                  
                                   volume = mass / density

Starting from rest, a dragster travels a straight 1/4 mi racetrack in 6.70 s with constant acceleration. What is its velocity wh
Airida [17]
<h2>Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 119.40 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = ?

        Time, t = 6.70 s      

        Displacement, s = 1/4 mi = 0.25 mi = 400 m

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      400 = 0 x 6.70 + 0.5 x a x 6.70²

                      a = 17.82 m/s²

     Now we have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

     Final velocity, v = ?

     Time, t = 6.7 s

     Acceleration, a = 17.82 m/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      v = 0 + 17.82 x 6.7

                      v = 119.40 m/s

Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 119.40 m/s

 15cm3 block of gold weighs  2.8N it is carefully submerged in a tank of mercury. one cm3 of mercury weight 0.!3n a will the mer
NNADVOKAT [17]
You have said that 15cm³ of gold weighs 2.8N.  So I may infer that each cm³
of gold weighs about 0.19N.  When I compare that figure with the 0.13N per cm³
of mercury, it becomes immediately apparent that the gold is more dense than
mercury. Therefore, the sample of gold, no matter what its size or weight, will
displace its total volume of mercury, and will go on to sink entirely beneath the
waves in the mercury.

Complete Question

The complete question is  shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

The distance which the car skid is  l  =  \frac{v_i^2 }{2 *  \mu_k  * g }

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The  initial velocity of the car is  v_i

     The  coefficient of kinetic friction is  \mu_k

According to the law of energy conservation

    The initial Mechanical Energy =  The final  Mechanical Energy  

                           M_i  = M_f  

The initial mechanical energy is  mathematically represented as  

              M_i  =  KE _o  + PE_e

where KE is the initial kinetic energy which is  mathematically represented as

        KE  =  \frac{1}{2} m v_i^2

And  PE  is  the initial potential energy which is  zero given that the car is  on the ground

     Now  

           M_f =  W_{\mu}

Where  W_{\mu} is  the work which friction exerted on the car  which is  mathematically represented as

       W_{\mu} =  m*  \mu_k  *  g  *  l

Where  l is the distance covered by the car before it slowed down

        \frac{1}{2} m v_i^2  = m*  \mu_k  *  g * l

=>     l  =  \frac{v_i^2 }{2 *  \mu_k  * g }
