Have you ever wondered how a vending machine "knows" that you have put in the correct amount of change to purchase a snack or a

drink? These machines use coin detectors that determine the mass and the size of the coins deposited. In other words, they analyze the density of the coins. United States coinage is minted within very narrow specifications, so the density of each type of coin is always the same. The coin detectors compare the coins inserted to the preset standards to determine if the correct combination of coins has been deposited. In this lesson, you too will determine the density of various coins.
This animation will allow you to find the density of a penny, a nickel, and a quarter.

Make a hypothesis in which you suggest which coin will have the highest density and which will have the lowest density. A model hypothesis might be: "If the (fill in the name of a coin) has a greater density than the _____ and _____, then it will have a greater mass to volume ratio. If the (fill in the name of a coin) has a lower density than the _____ and _____, then it will have a lower mass to volume ratio.

Remember to record your data and observations in the data sheet so that you can use them to present your findings.
Present Your Findings
Write a one or two summary paragraph discussing this experiment and the results. Use the following questions and topics to help guide the content of your paragraph.

According to your data, was your hypothesis correct? (Be sure to refer to your data when answering this question.)
Summarize any difficulties or problems you had in performing the experiment that might have affected the results. Describe how you might change the procedure to avoid these problems.
List at least two real world examples that apply the findings of this experiment. (Hint: An example of this type was given in the introduction to this project.)

What is the law of conservation in ENERGY?​
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

energy cannot be created nor destroyed

Explanation:

the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time.

A 90kg woman and a 60kg boy are standing at rest on a frictionless frozen lake. The boy pushes the woman with a 40N horizontal f
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The acceleration of the woman is 0.44 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the woman, m₁ = 90 kg

mass of the boy, m₂ = 60 kg

The force applied by the boy, f₂ = 40 N

The net horizontal force on the woman = 40 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the acceleration of the woman;

f = ma

a = f / m

a = 40 / 90

a = 0.44 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the woman is 0.44 m/s²

A football player with a mass of 85 kg wears a uniform and helmet that have a mass of 4.5 kg. The football player moves at 2.1 m
DochEvi [55]
The answer would be 187.95 kg.m/s.

To get the momentum, all you have to do is multiply the mass of the moving object by the velocity. 

p = mv

Where:
P = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity

Not the question is asking what is the total momentum of the football player and uniform. So we need to first get the combined mass of the football player and the uniform. 

Mass of football player = 85.0 kg
Mass of the uniform     = <u>  4.5 kg</u>
TOTAL MASS                  89.5 kg

So now we have the mass. So let us get the momentum of the combined masses. 

p = mv
   = (89.5kg)(2.1m/s)
   = 187.95 kg.m/s

a student standing in an elevator at rest notices that her pendulum has a frequency of oscillation of 0.5 Hz. a. what is the len
EastWind [94]

Answer:

L = 0.99 m = 99 cm

Explanation:

The period is the reciprocal of the frequency.

T = 1/0.5 = 2.0 s

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = g(T/2π)²

L = 9.8(2.0/2π)² = 0.99 m

If the system accelerates upward, it will cause the apparent gravity to increase. This will require a longer pendulum to keep the same period, or shorten the period if the length remains the same. This shows up in the equation where the product of gravity and the square of the period must remain constant for the length to remain constant.
