How did Archimedes measure the mass of the block of gold?

1 answer:

5 0

Archimedes found a piece of gold and a piece of silver with exactly the same mass. He dropped the gold into a bowl filled to the brim with water and measured the volume of water that spilled out. Then he did the same thing with the piece of solver. Although both metals had the same mass, the silver gad a larger volume; therefore, it displaced more water than the gold did. That's because the silver was less dense than gold. Afterwards he applied the same method to the crown for the king he served who had got a new crown from a jeweler who gave it to him. Archimedes found a piece of pure gold that had the same mass as the crown. He placed the pure gold chuck and the crown in water, one at a time. The crown displaced more water the piece of gold. Therefore, its density was less than pure gold.

The vector values are 4.0 km due East and 3.0 km due north the resultant vector is 5.0 km long and 37 north of East this values

klemol [59]

Answer:

This values shows a right angle triangle

Explanation:

Given;

a vector 4.0 km due East

a 3.0 km due north

the resultant vector is 5.0 km

The resultant vector can be obtained by Pythagoras theorem if the vectors form a right angle triangle.

R² = 4² + 3²

R² = 16 + 9

R² = 25

R = √25

R = 5 km (right angle triangle proved)

Therefore, this values shows a right angle triangle

A soccer player kicks a 0.44 kg ball with a force of 57.6 N, what is the ball’s acceleration

noname [10]

THE BALL'S ACCELERATION IS 130.90 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law "the force (F) acting on an object is equal to the mass (m) of an object times its acceleration (a)", meaning that when the soccer player kicks a ball, a force is acting on the ball, therefore increasing it's acceleration

SO FOR CALCULATING THIS WE WILL USE NEWTON LAW,

FORCE = MASS × ACCELERATION

WE ARE GIVEN

FORCE = 57.6N

MASS= .44KG

SO HERE WE APPLYING FORMULA ,WE WILL GET

ACCELERATION = $\frac{FORCE}{MASS}$

ACCELERATION = $\frac{57.6N}{.44KG}$

ACCELERATION =130.90 $\frac{m}{s}$
