Answer:

To measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object, pour some water in a measuring cylinder. Then suspend the irregularly shaped object with a thread. After that , move the object gradually downwards and immerse it in water. The volume of the irregularly shaped object is the difference between the volume of the liquid before and after. After measuring the difference, we come to know about the volume of the irregularly shaped object.

Explanation:

Volume is the amount of space an object takes up, while mass is the amount of matter in an object. ... To find the volume of an irregular sized object, one would use the displacement method for measuring volume and place the object in water and measure the amount of water that is displaced.

An object moves in a circle at a constant speed of 1.0 m/s. The radius of the circle is 1.0 m. If a force of 1.0 N acts toward t
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:5

Explanation:

Given

speed of object v=1\ m/s

radius of circle r=1\ m

Force towards the center F=1\ N

Work done is given by the dot product of Force and displacement

and we know know displacement of the object is along the circle which is perpendicular to the force acting therefore Work done will be zero

Rainwater draining from a neighborhood street initially travels at 4 ft/s through a pipe with a cross-sectional area of 15.7 ft2
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The  velocity  is v_2  =  0.96 \ ft/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The initial speed is  v_1  =  4 \ ft/s

   The  cross -sectional area of the first pipe is  A_1  =  15.7 \ ft

   The  cross -sectional area of the second pipe is A_2 =  65.4 \  ft

Generally from continuity equation we have that

     A_1 * v_1 =  A_2  * v_2

So  

     v_2  =  \frac{A_1 *  v_1  }{A_2 }

=>   v_2  =  \frac{15.7  *  4  }{65.4 }

=>   v_2  =  0.96 \ ft/s

Two crates, one with mass 5.4 kg and the other with mass 8.2 kg, connected by a light rope. The coefficient of kinetic friction
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

R= 2.5 :ratio of the magnitude of the applied horizontal force to the magnitude of the tension in the rope connecting the blocks

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F=m*a

velocity  is constant ,then , a=0

Nomenclature

W: weight

m: mass

N : normal force

Ff: Friction force

μk: coefficient of kinetic friction

T: tension  force in the rope

F: applied horizontal force

g: acceleration due to gravity.

Force Calculation

W₁=m₁*g=5.4 kg *9.8m/s²=52.92 N

W₂=m₂*g=8.2 kg *9.8m/s²= 80.36N

∑Fy=0  

N₁-W₁=0 , N₁=W₁ = 52.92 N

N₂-W₂=0, N₂=W₂=80.36N

Ff₁= μk* N₁=0.4*52.92 N = 21.16N

Ff₂= μk* N₂=0.4*80.36N = 32.14N

Look at the attached graphic

Free-Body diagram m₁=5.4 kg

∑Fx=0

T- Ff₁=0 , T= Ff₁     ,    T= 21.16N

Free-Body diagram m₂=8.2 kg

∑Fx=0

F-T- Ff₂=0 , F=T+Ff₂= 21.16N+32.14N=53.3N

Ratio of the magnitude of the applied horizontal force to the magnitude of the tension in the rope connecting the blocks (R)

R= F/T= 53.3N/21.16N = 2.5
