Legend says that archimedes, in determining whether or not the king’s crown was made of pure gold, measured its volume by the wa

ter displacement method. if the crown weighs 600 gm in air, what would its "weight be in water", necessary to prove that it is pure gold?

The volume of water that is displaced by the crown is equal to the volume of the crown so by measuring the displaced water volume one can simply determine the density of the crown which is it's mass divided by its volume. if it's not equal to 19.32 per cubic centimeters (which is the density of the pure gold) we can conclude that it has impurities

1. °C= (°F-32) X 5/9. what will be the answer?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

F=9/5(°C)+32

Explanation:

Lets take an example

  • Take 25°C

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{9}{5}(25)+32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 9(5)+32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 45+32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 77°F

an object moving at 10. km/hr has a kinetic energy of 10. J. what is the kinetic energy of the same object if it is moving at 20
Schach [20]
Kinetic energy is related to velocity by:
KE = (1/2)mv^2

solve for mass m
10 = (1/2)m(10)^2
10 = (1/2)m(100)
10= 50m
10/50 = m
1/5 = m

at 20 km/hr

KE = (1/2)(1/5)(20)^2
KE = (1/10)(400)
KE = 40 J

A 3 kg bowling ball is thrown onto a mattress. If it takes 0.3 seconds to stop the ball using a force of 24 N, what was the init
enyata [817]

Answer:

-24 m/s

Explanation:

mass of the bowling ball =  3 kg

time (t) = 0.3 seconds

Force = 24 N

initial velocity u = ???

We know that;

Force = mass × acceleration (a)

So;

24 = 3 × a

a = 24/3

a = 8 m/s²

Also;

From equation of motion; acceleration is given by the relation;

a =\frac{v-u}{t}

if v = 0

then ;

8 = \frac{0-u}{0.3}

24 = 0- u

u = -24 m/s

Thus; the  initial velocity of the bowling ball when it first touched the mattress =  -24 m/s

Is being social media famous worth real-life relationships?
Maru [420]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Social media fame isnt worth it, because youre not really able to connect with people. Real life relationships with friends, family, and everything else is way more important. having people notice you or be attracted to you through the internet is nothing compared to real life social interactions. Dont leave people just to be online, youre going to regret it.

Consider the table below. Which of the following data sets depict an accelerating object? Mark all that apply.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The data sets that depict an accelerating object is Data Set A & Data Set B.

The both data sets show that the body is accelerating. Also, they show that the body started from rest (0m/s) at a 0sec.

Data Set A shows a non-constant acceleration which has changing amount of velocity with change in time. While Data Set B shows a constant acceleration which has constant amount of velocity with change in time.
