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

We have a toy gun with a spring constant of 50 N/m. The spring is compressed by 0.2 m. If you neglect friction and the mass of t
Arisa [49]

Answer:

31.6\:\mathrm{m/s}

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by Us=\frac{1}{2}kx^2, where k is the spring constant of the spring and x is displacement from point of equilibrium.

When released, this potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is given by KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is the object's velocity.

Thus, we have:

Us=KE,\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Substituting given values, we get:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot 50\cdot 0.2^2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 0.002\cdot v^2,\\v^2=\frac{50\cdot 0.2^2}{0.002},\\v^2=1000,\\v\approx \boxed{31.6\:\mathrm{m/s}}

If the angular velocity of the pully is -8.4rad/s at a given time, and its anglar acceleration is -2.8rad/s2, what is the angula
snow_lady [41]

Here we know that

\omega_i = - 8.4 rad/s

\alpha = - 2.8 rad/s^2

t = 1.5 s

now from kinematics we have

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

now from above all values we have

\omega_f = (-8.4 rad/s) + (-2.8 rad/s^2)(1.5)

\omega_f = -8.4 + (-4.2)

\omega_f = -12.6 rad/s

so final angular speed is -12.6 rad/s

What is the final velocity of a car that starts at 22 m/s and accelerates at 3.78 m/s for distance of 45 m
Pepsi [2]

v^2 = v0^2 +2ad v^2 = 22^2 + 2*3.78*45 = 824.2 v= √824.2 = 28.7 m/s

Den pushes a desk 400 cm across the floor. He exerts a force of 10 N for 8 s to move the desk.
stellarik [79]

Answer: The correct option is Option b.

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of work done by an object.

Mathematically,

P=\frac{W}{t}    .....(1)

And work done is the product of force exerted on the object times the displacement covered by that object.

Mathematically,

W=F.s

Putting this value in above equation, we get:

P=\frac{F.s}{t}

where,

P = power = ?W

F = Force exerted = 10N

s = Displacement = 400cm = 4m   (Conversion factor: 1m = 100 cm)

t = Time taken = 8s

Putting values in above equation, we get

P=\frac{10\times 4}{8}\\\\P=5W

Hence, the correct option is Option b.
