Larry and Balky set up an experiment to analyze the motion of a marble as it rolled down an incline. They started the marble at

the top of the ramp and set up photogates to collect data as the marble rolled down the ramp.
Which graph format will allow Larry and Balky to calculate instantaneous accleration from the slope of the graph?
A) Velocity on the y-axis, time on the x-axis
B) Distance on the y-axis, time on the x-axis
C) Time on the x-axis, distance on the y-axis
D) Velocity on the y-axis, distance on the x-axis

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The instantaneous acceleration = Change in velocity in velocity/Time taken

The slope of the graph should give instantaneous acceleration.

Slope of a graph = Change in value of Y -axis / Change in values of X -axis

Comparing both the equations

Change in value of Y -axis = Change in velocity in velocity

Change in values of X -axis = Time taken

So velocity values should be on the Y axis and Time values should be on the X axis.

Option A is the correct answer.

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in

Kruka [31]

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.

When numbers are very small or very large, it is convenient to either express the value in scientific notation and/or by using a

Oxana [17]

Answer:

5 mg, $5\cdot 10^{-3}g$

Explanation:

First of all, let's rewrite the mass in grams using scientific notation.

we have:

m = 0.005 g

To rewrite it in scientific notation, we must count by how many digits we have to move the dot on the right - in this case three. So in scientific notation is

$m=5\cdot 10^{-3}g$

If we want to convert into milligrams, we must remind that

1 g = 1000 mg

So we can use the proportion

$1 g : 1000 mg = 0.005 g : x$

and we find

$x=\frac{(1000 mg)(0.005 g)}{1 g}=5 mg$

How is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave related to energy

aivan3 [116]

Answer: The energy carried by an electromagnetic wave is proportional to the frequency of the wave.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves that are of higher energy than visible light (higher frequency, shorter wavelength) include ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays.

1. A perspex box has a 10 cm square base and contains water to a height of 10 cm. A piece of rock of mass 600g is lowered into t

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

(a) The volume of water is 100 cm³

(b) The volume of the rock is 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock is 30 g/cm³

Explanation:

The given parameters of the perspex box are;

The area of the base of the box, A = 10 cm²

The initial level of water in the box, h₁ = 10 cm

The mass of the rock placed in the box, m = 600 g

The final level of water in the box, h₂ = 12 cm

(a) The volume of water in the box, 'V', is given as follows;

V = A × h₁

∴ The volume of water in the box, V = 10 cm² × 10 cm = 100 cm³

The volume of water in the box, V = 100 cm³

(b) When the rock is placed in the box the total volume, $V_T$ , is given by the sum of the rock, $V_r$ , and the water, V, is given as follows;

$V_T$ = $V_r$ + V

$V_T$ = A × h₂

∴ $V_T$ = 10 cm² × 12 cm = 120 cm³

The total volume, $V_T$ = 120 cm³

The volume of the rock, $V_r$ = $V_T$ - V

∴ $V_r$ = 120 cm³ - 100 cm³ = 20 cm³

The volume of the rock, $V_r$ = 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock, ρ = (Mass of the rock, m)/(The volume of the rock)

∴ The density of the rock, ρ = 600 g/(20 cm³) = 30 g/cm³
