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.

What linear speed must an earth satellite have to be in a circular orbit at an altitude of 159 km?
IgorLugansk [536]
Gravitational acceleration, g = GM/r^2. Additionally, for a satellite in a circular orbit, g = v^2/r

Where, G = Gravitational constant, M = Mass of earth, r = distance from the center of the earth to the satellite, v = linear speed of the satellite.

Equating the two expressions;
v^2/r = GM/r^2
v = Sqrt (GM/r);
But GM = Constant = 398600.5 km^3/sec^2
r = Altitude+Radius of the earth = 159+6371 = 6530 km

Substituting;
v = Sqrt (398600.5/6530) = 7.81 km/sec = 781 m/s

What is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.5 kg and hits the cathers glove with a force of 25n
ioda
Acceleration is found if we have the force and mass. 

With the following equation: F = ma, we can find the missing values. 

F = 25n
M = 0.5 kg
a = ?

a = f/m
a = 25/0.5
a = 50

a = 50 m/s

So, the acceleration is 50 m/s^2

how does inertia explain the movement of your body when a car in which you are riding comes to a sudden stop? (8 sentences)
nydimaria [60]
Your body continues to move unless stopped by the seatbelt. An object in motion will remain in motion. Since your body was already moving it will continue to.

A 6.50-m-long iron wire is 1.50 mm in diameter and carries a uniform current density of 4.07 MA/m^2. Find the voltage between th
Sauron [17]

Answer:

V = 0.45 Volts

Explanation:

First we need to find the total current passing through the wire. That can be given by:

Total Current = I = (Current Density)(Surface Area of Wire)

I = (Current Density)(2πrL)

where,

r = radius = 1.5/2 mm = 0.75 mm = 0.75 x 10⁻³ m

L = Length of Wire = 6.5 m

Therefore,

I = (4.07 x 10⁻³ A/m²)[2π(0.75 x 10⁻³ m)(6.5 m)]

I = 1.25 x 10⁻⁴ A

Now, we need to find resistance of wire:

R = ρL/A

where,

ρ = resistivity of iron = 9.71 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm

A = Cross-sectional Area = πr² = π(0.75 x 10⁻³ m)² = 1.77 x 10⁻⁶ m²

Therefore,

R = (9.71 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm)(6.5 m)/(1.77 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

R = 0.36 Ω

From Ohm's Law:

Voltage = V = IR

V = (1.25 x 10⁻⁴ A)(0.36 Ω)

<u>V = 0.45 Volts</u>
