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.

if you dig a hole through the earth, from one hemisphere to the other, and drop a tennis ball into it, would it get stuck at the
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Depending on which hemisphere it is, like western to eastern, It would most likely get stuck at the center. You would also have to put more things into thought like acceleration, velocity, and speed.

BUT since the question asked "would it pop out the other side?", I'm assuming it's talking about northern to southern hemisphere. so in that case it would pop out the other side since gravity makes things go downwards.

Two workers are sliding 300 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 400 N while the ot
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The kinetic coefficient of friction of the crate is 0.235.

Explanation:

As a first step, we need to construct a free body diagram for the crate, which is included below as attachment. Let supposed that forces exerted on the crate by both workers are in the positive direction. According to the Newton's First Law, a body is unable to change its state of motion when it is at rest or moves uniformly (at constant velocity). In consequence, magnitud of friction force must be equal to the sum of the two external forces. The equations of equilibrium of the crate are:

\Sigma F_{x} = P+T-\mu_{k}\cdot N = 0 (Ec. 1)

\Sigma F_{y} = N - W = 0 (Ec. 2)

Where:

P - Pushing force, measured in newtons.

T - Tension, measured in newtons.

\mu_{k} - Coefficient of kinetic friction, dimensionless.

N - Normal force, measured in newtons.

W - Weight of the crate, measured in newtons.

The system of equations is now reduced by algebraic means:

P+T -\mu_{k}\cdot W = 0

And we finally clear the coefficient of kinetic friction and apply the definition of weight:

\mu_{k} =\frac{P+T}{m\cdot g}

If we know that P = 400\,N, T = 290\,N, m = 300\,kg and g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then:

\mu_{k} = \frac{400\,N+290\,N}{(300\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}

\mu_{k} = 0.235

The kinetic coefficient of friction of the crate is 0.235.

A major contribution of Johannes Kepler to the development of modern astronomy was:________.
fgiga [73]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is  planetary motion</h2>

Explanation:

According to Johannes Kepler, the laws governing planetary motion

states that:

1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.

2. A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas          

   during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major of its orbit.

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer

Born: 27 December 1571, Weil der Stadt, Germany

Died: 15 November 1630

5. An electrical power plant generates electricity with a current of 50 A and a potential difference of 20 000 V. In order to mi
lakkis [162]

Answer: Current = 2 A

Explanation:

Given that an electrical power plant generates electricity with a

current I = 50 A

Potential difference V = 20 000 V

The resistance R will be achieved by Ohms law formula which state that

V = IR

But the power generated will be the product of potential difference and the current

Power P = IV

P = 50 × 20000

P = 1, 000000 W

When the transformer steps up the potential difference to 500 000 V before it is transmitted

Power is always constant.

Using the formula for power again with

V = 500000

1000000 = 500000× I

Make I the subject of formula

Current I = 1000000/500000

Current I = 2 A
