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

Joe the house painter stands on a uniform oak board weighing 600 N and held up by vertical ropes at each end. Joe has been dieti
Mamont248 [21]

Answer

given,

weight of the oak board = 600 N

Weight of Joe = 844 N

length of board = 4 m

Joe is standing at 1 m from left side

vertical wire is supporting at the end.

Assuming the system is in equilibrium

T₁ and T₂ be the tension at the ends of the wire

equating all the vertical force

T₁ + T₂ = 600 + 844

 T₁ + T₂ = 1444...........(1)

taking moment about T₂

 T₁ x 4 - 844 x 3 - 600 x 2 = 0

 T₁ x 4 = 3732

 T₁ = 933 N

from equation (1)

 T₂ = 1444 - 933

 T₂ = 511 N

a person does 100 joules of work in pulling back the string of a bow. what will be the initial speed of a 0.5 kg arrow when it i
eduard

If all the energy she put into bending the bow is completely
transmitted to the arrow, then the arrow has the 100 joules
of kinetic energy when it leaves the bow.

                 Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                         100 J        = (1/2) (0.5 kg) (speed²)

Divide each side by 0.25 kg:    100 J / 0.25 kg = speed²

 [ joule ] = [ newton-meter ] = kg-m²/sec²

                                                100 kg-m²/sec² / 0.25 kg = speed²

                                                 400 m²/sec² = speed²

Take the square root of each side:     speed = √400 m/s

                                                                                20 m/s

                                                                    (about 44.7 mph)
