How big is a ton? That is, what is the volume of something that weighs a ton? To be specific, estimate the diameter of a 1-ton r

ock, but first make a wild guess>: will it be 1 ft across, 3 feet, or the size of a car? (Hint: Rock has mass er volume about three times that of water, which is 1 kg per liter(10^3cm^3) or 62lb per cubic foot) ...?

<span>Short ton is equal to 2000 lb. A metric tonne is equal to 1000 kilograms.

T</span>o get the volume of a rock you should divide the mass (1000 kg) by the density. Assume the density is three times of water. You can assume the rock is a sphere or cube to get the approximate dimension from the volume. 

<span>The density of water is 1000 kg / m^3

Parallel to the handle, what is the force of friction acting on the suitcase?
mrs_skeptik [129]
 <span>Lets call F the friction force which will act horizontally backwards. 

As you are travelling at a constant velosity horizontally there is no overall resultant force in this direction. 

ie. the force you pull with will be equal to the friction force resisting you. (you will initially have to have pulled with a greater force than the friction to get the suitcase moving) 

the value of your force pulling is 60 cos26.9 (horizontally) - you should have learnt about resolving forces. 

this must be equal to F 

so 

F=60cos26.9 
F=53.5N

hope this helps you

Imagine a ringing bell set inside a sealed glass jar. Once all the air is removed and a vacuum is crated, the ringing sound is n
kenny6666 [7]

working...

Sound wave needs medium to travel

as energy which travels in this wave is because of transfer from one particle to another particle

If there is no medium then energy can not be transferred and sound wave will not travel

so in vacuum we can not listen sound

similarly here air is removed it means there is no medium inside the jar to travel the sound and hence we can not hear it

Option B is correct

Without air, the sound waves cannot travel to the ear.

Tina is driving her sports car down US1, traveling 27m/s. She sees her friend Rita up ahead, waiting to cross the street at the
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

434 Hz

Explanation:

According to the Doppler effect, when a source of a wave is moving towards an observer at rest, then the observer will observe an apparent frequency which is higher than the original frequency of the source.

In this situation, Tina is driving towards Rita. Tina is the source of the sound wave (the horn), while RIta is the observer. Since the original frequency of the sound is 400 Hz, Rita will hear a sound with a frequency higher than this value.

The only choice which is higher than 400 Hz is 434 Hz, so this is the frequency that Rita will hear.
