A certain piece of metal (density 9.45 grams per cubic centimeter) has the shape of a hockey puck with a diameter of 13 cm and a

height of 2.8 cm. If this puck is placed into a bowl of mercury (density 13.6 grams per cubic centimeter), it floats. How deep below the surface of the mercury is the bottom of the metal puck?

Answer:

0.0195 m

Explanation:

\rho _{p} = density of hockey puck = 9.45 gcm⁻³ = 9450 kgm³

d_{p} = diameter of hockey puck = 13 cm = 0.13 m

h_{p} = height of hockey puck = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m

\rho _{m} = density of mercury = 13.6 gcm⁻³ = 13600 kgm³

d = depth of puck below surface of mercury

According to Archimedes principle, the weight of puck is balanced by the weight of mercury displaced by puck

Weight of mercury displaced = Weight of puck

\rho _{m} (0.25)(\pi d_{p}^{2} d ) g = \rho _{p} (0.25)(\pi d_{p}^{2} h_{p} ) g\\\rho _{m} ( d ) = \rho _{p} ( h_{p} )\\(13600) d = (9450) (0.028)\\d = 0.0195 m

a bicyclist travels with an averahe velocity of 15km/h north, for 20 minutes .what is his displacement ?​
Lunna [17]

Explanation:

velocity = 15 km/hr = 15×1000m / 60×60s

= 4.17 m/s

time= 20 min= 20 × 60s

= 1200s

displacement =?

we know that,

V = D / t

or, 4.17 = D / 1200

or, D = 4.17 × 1200

or,D = 5004 m

A 90-kg astronaut is stranded in space at a point 6.0 m from his spaceship, and he needs to get back in 4.0 min to control the s
Stella [2.4K]

Momentum = 0.5 * 4 = 2 
to conclude the man’s velocity after he throws the piece of equipment, divide this number by the man’s mass. 

v = 2/90 

This is about 0.0222 m/s. To know if he can move 6 meters at velocity in 4minutes, use the following equation. 

d = v * t, t = 4 * 60 = 240 s 
d = 2/90 * 240 = 5⅓ meters. 

This is ⅔ of a meter from the spaceship. To know the velocity that he must have to move 6 meter, use the same equation. 

6 = v * 240 
v = 6/240 
This is about 0.00416 m/s. 
His final momentum = 90 * 6/240 = 2.25 


To know the velocity of the package, divide this number by the mass of the package. 
v = 2.25/0.5 = 4.5 m/s
