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

To win a prize at the county fair, you're trying to knock down a heavy bowling pin by hitting it with a thrown object. Should yo
Setler [38]

Answer:

Being an elastic object, rubber ball will be an ideal choice as it will bounce off the bowling pit and will experience a large change in momentum in comparison with the beanbag which will either slow down or come to a halt upon hitting a bowling pit. That is why rubber ball will experience a greater impulse and the bowling pin will experience the negative impulse of the rubber ball.

For Rubber Ball

Upon elastic collision it will reverses the direction and move with velocity equal or less then original

change in momentum = P

P = m(v_{f} -v_{i})\\v_{f}=-v_{i} \\  P = -2mv_{i}

For Beanbag

value of impulse will large if velocity is zero.

v_{f}=0\\ P = -mv_{i}

a package was determined to have a mass of 5.7kilograms. what's the force of gravity acting on the package on earth?(a)37.93N(b)
Nana76 [90]
The force of gravity on earth is 9.807 m/s^2 (or meters per second per second).
To determine the force applied, multiply the mass of the package (5.7 kg) by the force of gravity on Earth (9.807 m/s^2).
5.7 x 9.807 = 55.86 N The answer is D.

Note: the actual force is 55.89 Newtons.

A 5 μF capacitor is connected to a 12 V battery. The charge on each plate of the capacitor is:
ziro4ka [17]
1 farad = 1 coulomb/volt

5 μF = 5 x 10⁻⁶ coulomb/volt

        = 60 x 10⁻⁶ coulomb / 12 volts

The charge is 60 x 10⁻⁶ coulombs = 6 x 10⁻⁵  (choice-A)
