Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can=1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3

1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3

Mass of can=80g=\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead=11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3

By using 1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can  and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force =F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead

\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg

Where \rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=Density of water

m_c=Mass of can

m_l=Mass of lead

V_c=Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l

1.1-0.08=m_l

m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g

1 kg=1000g

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.

A package of mass 5 kg sits on an airless asteroid of mass 7.6 × 1020 kg and radius 8.0 × 105 m. We want to launch the package i
Effectus [21]

Answer:

s =  1.7 m

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following:

Mass of package (m) = 5 kg

mass of the asteriod (M) = 7.6 x 10^{20} kg

radius = 8 x 10^5 m

velocity of package (v) = 170 m/s

spring constant (k) = 2.8 N/m

compression (s) = ?

Assuming that no non conservative force is acting on the system here, the initial and final energies of the system will be the same. Therefore  

• Ei = Ef

• Ei = energy in the spring + gravitational potential energy of the system

• Ei = \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + \frac{GMm}{r}

• Ef = kinetic energy of the object

• Ef = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}  

• \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + (-\frac{GMm}{r}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}  

• s = \sqrt{\frac{m}[k}(v^{2}+\frac{2GM}{r})}

s = \sqrt{\frac{5}[2.8 x 10^5}(170^{2}+\frac{2 x 6.67 x10^{-11} x 7.6 x 10^{20}}{8 x 10^5})}

s =  1.7 m

\text{Given that,}\\\\\text{Height, h = 17 m}\\\\\\\text{We know that,}\\\\h = v_0t + \dfrac 12  gt^2\\\\\implies h = \dfrac 12 gt^2\\\\\implies t^2 = \dfrac{2h}g\\\\\implies t =\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}g} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2(17)}{9.81}} = 1.87 ~ \text{sec}

The volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its
Leni [432]

Answer: Charles's law

Explanation:

Charles's law is one of the gas laws, and it explains the effect of temperature changes on the volume of a given mass of gas at a constant pressure. Usually, the volume of a gas decreases as the temperature decreases and increases as the temperature also increases.

Mathematically, Charles's law can be expressed as:

V ∝ T

V = kT or (V/T) = k

where v is volume, T is temperature in Kelvin, and a k is a constant.
