The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

7) A standard backpack is approximately 30cm x 30cm x 40cm. Suppose you find a hoard of pure gold (density = 19.3 g/cm³) while treasure hunting in the wilderness. How much mass would your backpack hold if you filled it with gold?

8) 50 pounds is equal to 22,700 grams. How many pounds does this backpack full of gold weigh? Would you be able to carry out that backpack filled with gold?

Answer: 7) m = 694,800g

8) It wieghts 1530.4 lbf

Explanation:

7) Volume of the backpack will be

V = 30 x 30 x 40

V = 36000 cm³

According to density of gold, each cm³ corresponds to 19.3g, then:

m = 19.3 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$ * 36000cm³

m = 694800g

If I filled it with gold, the backpack will hold 694800g or 694.8kg.

8) 50 pounds is equal to 22700g. Then:

50 pound = 22700g

W = 694800g

W = $\frac{694800.50}{22700}$

W = 1530.4 lbf

The backpack, in pounds, will weigh 1530.4lbf, which is very heavy to be supported by a human body.

2. Compare and Contrast A fault cuts through

Elenna [48]

Explanation:

The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that it cuts through. The fault labeled "E" cuts through all three sedimentary rock layers (A, B,and C) and also cuts through the intrusion (D). So the fault must be the youngest formation that is seen and known of.

The intensity at distance from a spherically symmetric sound source is 100 W/m2. What is the intensity at five times this distan

ss7ja [257]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity as a function of power and area.

Intensity is defined to be the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave. In equation form, intensity I is

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

The area of a sphere is given by

$A = 4\pi r^2$

So replacing we have to

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

Since the question tells us to find the proportion when

$r_1 = 5r_2 \rightarrow \frac{r_2}{r_1} = \frac{1}{5}$

So considering the two intensities we have to

$I_1 = \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}$

$I_2 = \frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}$

The ratio between the two intensities would be

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{ \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}}{\frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}}$

The power does not change therefore it remains constant, which allows summarizing the expression to

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}=(\frac{r_2}{r_1})^2$

Re-arrange to find $I_2$

$I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2$

$I_2 = 100*(\frac{1}{5})^2$

$I_2 = 4W/m^2$

Therefore the intensity at five times this distance from the source is $4W/m^2$

A discus thrower turns with angular acceleration of 50 rad/s2, moving the discus in a circle of radius 0.80m. Find the radial an

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The value of tangential acceleration $\alpha_{t} =$ 40 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

The value of radial acceleration $\alpha_{r} = 80 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Explanation:

Angular acceleration = 50 $\frac{rad}{s^{2} }$

Radius of the disk = 0.8 m

Angular velocity = 10 $\frac{rad}{s}$

We know that tangential acceleration is given by the formula $\alpha_{t} =$ $r \alpha$

Where r = radius of the disk

$\alpha$ = angular acceleration

⇒ $\alpha_{t} =$ 0.8 × 50

⇒ $\alpha_{t} =$ 40 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

This is the value of tangential acceleration.

Radial acceleration is given by

$\alpha_{r} = \frac{V^{2} }{r}$

Where V = velocity of the disk = r $\omega$

⇒ V = 0.8 × 10

⇒ V = 8 $\frac{m}{s}$

Radial acceleration

$\alpha_{r} = \frac{8^{2} }{0.8}$

$\alpha_{r} = 80 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

This is the value of radial acceleration.
