Archimedes supposedly was asked to determine whether a crown made for the king consisted of puregold. According to legend, he so

lved this problem by weighing the crown first in air and then in water. Suppose the scale read 7.84 N with the crown in air and 6.84 N when it was in water. What should Archimedes have told the king

Answer:

the crown was not made of pure gold

Explanation:

Mass of gold = weight in air/ g = 7.84N/10ms-2= 0.784 Kg or 0.8Kg

From Archimedes principle:

Upthrust= weight in air- weight in a fluid

Upthrust= volume × density × g

Note density of water = 1000kgm-3

7.84-6.84= V × 1000kgm-3×10ms-2

V= 1/10000= 1×10-4 m^3

Density = mass/ volume= 0.8/1×10-4

= 8×10^3 Kgm-3

But we know the density of gold to be 19.3 ×10^3 kgm-3

Hence the crown was not made of pure gold

A bicycle is heading West. It goes 5000m in 500s what's its velocity
dybincka [34]
There are several information's of immense importance already given in the question. Based on the given information's the answer to the question can easily be determined.
Distance covered by the bicycle = 5000 meter
Time taken by the bicycle to reach the distance = 500 second.
Velocity of the bicycle = Distance / Time taken
                                   = 5000/500 meter/second
                                   = 50 meter/second
So the velocity of the bicycle is 50 meter per second. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. In future you can always use this procedure for solving similar problems.

A backpack weighs 8.2 newtons and has a mass of 5kg on the moon. What is the strength of the gravity on the moon?
Pavel [41]
Weight is equivalent to the product of the mass of an object and the strength of the gravitational field.

Using:
F = ma

a = 8.2 / 5
a = 1.64 N/kg

The gravitational field strength is equivalent to 1.64 N/kg.

A child is sledding. He starts at the top of the hill with a velocity of zero, and 3 seconds later he is speeding down the hill
Flauer [41]

Magnitude of acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change) =

                                             (12 m/s  -  0)   /   (3 sec)  =

                                               12/3  =  <em>4 m/s²</em>

What's a challenge question ?  Have we all passed the event horizon
and been spaghettified without knowing it ?
