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

A 0.150 kg ball on the end of a 1.10 m long cord (negligible mass)is swung in a vertical circle..
Aneli [31]
<span> For any body to move in a circle it requires the centripetal force (mv^2)/r. In this case a ball is moving in a vertical circle swung by a mass less cord. At the top of its arc if we draw its free body diagram and equate the forces in radial direction to the centripetal force we get it as T +mg =(mv^2)/r T is tension in cord m is mass of ball r is length of cord (radius of the vertical circle) To get the minimum value of velocity the LHS should be minimum. This is possible when T = 0. So minimum speed of ball v at top =sqrtr(rg)=sqrt(1.1*9.81) = 3.285 m/s In the second case the speed of ball at top = (2*3.285) =6.57 m/s Let us take the lowest point of the vertical circle as reference for potential energy and apllying the conservation of energy equation between top & bottom we get velocity at bottom as 9.3m/s. Now by drawing the free body diagram of the ball at the bottom and equating the net radial force to the centripetal force T-mg=(mv^2)/r We get tension in cord T=13.27 N</span>

Boyle's law balloon was filled to a volume of 2.50 l when the temperature was 30.0∘
aliina [53]

To solve this we assume that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

V2 = T2 x V1 / T1

V2 =284.15 x 2.50 / 303.15

<span>V2 = 2.34 L</span>
