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

Darwin is sitting on top of a 10 m tree and decided to drop a 3 kg baseball to the ground. What is the velocity when the PE turn
Nimfa-mama [501]

The AMOUNT of energy the ball has doesn't change. It's 294 joules in Darwin's hand, and it's still 294 joules when the ball hits the ground.  It's all PE before he let's it go, and it steadily changes from PE to KE all the way down.

It BEGINS to turn into KE immediately, when Darwin lets go of the ball, and it starts to fall.

More and more PE turns into KE as the ball falls, all the way down.

When the ball hits the ground, it has no more PE left. All of its mechanical energy is then KE.

What is the avarage velocity of a car that travels 30 kilometers due west in 0.5 hours
Fed [463]
Velocity is distance over time v= \frac{d}{t}. If it wants it in km/h you're good to go otherwise if its m/s you need to convert km to m by multiplying 30 by 1000 and t in hours to seconds by multiplying 0.5 by 3600.
