Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less thanthat o

f the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone in air and in water and finds its mass is45.0 g and its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (the bone is watertight). (a) What mass of water is displaced? (b)What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average densim

Answer:

41.4 g

41.4 cm³

1.08695 g/cm³

Explanation:

\rho = Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Mass of water displaced will be the difference of the

m=45-3.6\\\Rightarrow m=41.4\ g

Mass of water displaced is 41.4 g

Density is given by

\rho=\dfrac{m}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{41.4}{1}\\\Rightarrow v=41.4\ cm^3

So, volume of bone is 41.4 cm³

Average density of the bird is given by

\rho=\dfrac{45}{41.4}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.08695\ g/cm^3

The average density is 1.08695 g/cm³

Use Newton's second law of motion and a free-body diagram to...
timurjin [86]
Using the formula F = m*a. where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration you can use it for each. As long as there are no other forces towards the body in both cases :
F = m*a
F = 50*3
F = 150 N

1. why did aristarchus choose the time of a half (quarter) moon to make his measurements for calculating the earth-sun distance?
Stells [14]

In order to make his measurements for determining the Earth-Sun distance, Aristarchus waited for the Moon's phase to be exactly half full while the Sun was still visible in the sky. For this reason, he chose the time of a half (quarter) moon.

<h3 /><h3>How did Aristarchus calculate the distance to the Sun?</h3>

It was now possible for another Greek astronomer, Aristarchus, to attempt to determine the Earth's distance from the Sun after learning the distance to the Moon. Aristarchus discovered that the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun formed a right triangle when they were all equally illuminated. Now that he was aware of the distance between the Earth and the Moon, all he needed to know to calculate the Sun's distance was the current angle between the Moon and the Sun. It was a wonderful argument that was weakened by scant evidence. Aristarchus calculated this angle to be 87 degrees using only his eyes, which was not far off from the actual number of 89.83 degrees. But when there are significant distances involved, even slight inaccuracies might suddenly become significant. His outcome was more than a thousand times off.
