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

How does the temperature of water affect the speed of the sound waves?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Temperature is also a condition that affects the speed of sound. Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly.

An object has a velocity of 8 m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 j what is the mass of the object
dedylja [7]

We Know,

K.E. = 1/2 mv²

480 = 1/2 (m)(8)²

m = 960/64

m = 15 Kg

So, the mass of the object is 15 Kg

A man attempts to push a 19.8 kg crate across a warehouse floor. He slowly increases the force until the crate starts to move at
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

 μ = 0.18

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second Law, the coordinate system is horizontal and vertical

Before starting to move the box

Y axis

     N-W = 0

     N = W = mg

X axis

     F -fr = 0

     F = fr

The friction force has the formula

     fr = μ N

     fr =  μ m g

At the limit point just before starting the movement

     F = μ m g

     μ = F / m g

calculate

      μ = 34.8 / (19.8 9.8)

    μ = 0.18
