Answer:

density of cube =11.605 g/cm³

Explanation:

density of a substance is the mass per unit volume of that substance.

the density of a substance = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

volume of a cube = l³,

l = 19.0mm , lets convert mm to cm

1mm = 0.1cm, thus, 19mm =19*0.1 =1.9cm

length of cube =1.9cm

volume of cube = 1.9³

density of cube = $\frac{79.6}{1.9^{3} }$

density of cube =11.605 g/cm³

What does a tachometer measure?

nlexa [21]

A tachometer measures, for example it measures the MPH(Miles Per Hour) in a car. So like it measures your speed, so you could be going 100 MPH.

Two identical 0.200kg mass are pressed against opposite ends of a light spring of force constant 1.75N/cm compressing the spring

arlik [135]

This type of a problem can be solved by considering energy transformations. Initially, the spring is compressed, thus having stored something called an elastic potential energy. This energy is proportional to the square of the spring displacement d from its normal (neutral position) and the spring constant k:

$E_p=\frac{1}{2}kd^2= \frac{1}{2}175\frac{N}{m}\cdot 0.37^2m^2=11.98J$

So, this spring is storing almost 12 Joules of potential energy. This energy is ready to be transformed into the kinetic energy when the masses are released. There are two 0.2kg masses that will be moving away from each other, their total kinetic energy after the release equaling the elastic energy prior to the release (no losses, since there is no friction to be reckoned with).

The kinetic energy of a mass m moving with a velocity v is given by:

$E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

And we know that the energies are conserved, so the two kinetic energies will equal the elastic potential one:

$E_p = 2E_k=mv^2$

From this we can determine the speed of the mass:

$E_p =mv^2\implies v=\pm \sqrt{\frac{E_p}{m}}=\pm\sqrt{\frac{11.98J}{0.2kg}}=\pm 7.74\frac{m}{s}$

The speed will be 7.74m/s in in one direction (+), and same magnitude in the opposite direction (-).

An object with velocity 141 ft/s has a kinetic energy of 1558.71 ftâˆ™lbf, on a planet whose gravity is 31.5 ft/s2. What is its

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the object, K.E = 1558.71 ft.lbf

velocity of the object, V = 141 ft/s

The kinetic energy of the object is calculated as;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} mV^2\\\\mV^2 = 2K.E\\\\m = \frac{2K.E}{V^2} \\\\1 \ lbf = 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2\\\\m = \frac{2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ ft.lbf \ \times \ 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2 }{(141 \ ft/s)2 \ \ \times \ \ \ \ 1 \ lbf\ }$

$m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm.ft^2/s^2 }{(141 )^2\ ft^2/s^2 }\\\\m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm }{(141 )^2 }\\\\m = 5.045 \ lbm$

Therefore, the mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.
