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

Why doesn't the skateboarder roll as high each time she goes up the ramp
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The skater has mechanical/gravitational potential energy at the two meter mark. The skater gets to two meters high on the other end of the ramp. In terms of the conservation of energy, the skater will never go higher than two meter on the other end of the the ramp because energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

An iron railroad rail is 700 ft long when the temperature is 30°C. What is its length when the temperature is – 10°C?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

699.67ft

Explanation:

We are given with,

  • α = 1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C
  • L₀ = 700 ft
  • ΔT = -10°C − 30°C = -40°C

Now, We have to find ΔL:

  • ΔL = (1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C) (700 ft) (-40°C)
  • ΔL = −0.336

Rounded to two significant figures, the change in length is −0.33ft.

<u>Therefore, the final length is approximately 700 ft − 0.33 ft = 699.67ft</u>.

If an otherwise empty pressure cooker is filled with air of room temperature and then placed on a hot stove, what would be the m
Margaret [11]

Ideal Gas Law is, pV = NkbT

<span>Therefore, p/t  = Nkb/V which is equal to the constant</span>

We need to convert the given temperature to Kelvin. We need to add 273 to have the Kelvin of the temperature from Celsius.

T1= 20 + 273 = 293 K

T2= 120 + 273 = 393 K

With this we have the pressure ration of 393/293.

So,F120 = 1.34 APa
