Why is density equal to mass/volume?

Physics

Answer:

This is because both the mass and the volume of the two minerals will be added, and so when they are divided to get the density the result will be between the two. Typical densities for gasses are on the order of thousandths of grams per cubic centimeter

A boy weighs 40 kilograms. He runs at a velocity of 4 meters per second north. Which is his momentum?

Bogdan [553]

The boy's momentum is 160 kg*m/s north.

The formula of momentum is p = mv, where p is momentum.
p = 40 kg * 4m/s north
p =160 kg*m/s north

you give a shopping cart a job down the aisle the cart is full of groceries and has a mass of 18 kilograms the cart accelerates

mezya [45]

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (18 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 54 newtons

As long as you continue pushing the cart with 54 newtons of force,
it will accelerate at 3 m/s².

At the instant you release it, or keep your hands on it but stop pushing,
it will stop accelerating. It'll continue forward at the speed it had when
the 54 newtons of force stopped.

guapka [62]

Answer:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\ {v}^{2}_i = {v}^{2} _x + {v}^{2} _y \\ = {(6)}^{2} + {( - 2)}^{2} = 36 + 4 = 40m. {s}^{ - 1} \\ K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} (3) (40) = 60J \\ \\ {v}^{2}_f = {v}^{2} _x + {v}^{2} _y \\ = {(8)}^{2} + {(4)}^{2} = 80m. {s}^{ - 1} \\ K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} (3) (80) = 120J \\ W_{net}=K.E_f-K.E_i \\ = 120J - 60J \\ = 60J$

The electric field between two parallel plates is uniform, with magnitude 628 N/C. A proton is held stationary at the positive p

aliina [53]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Electric Field between two parallel plates = 628 N/C

Separation = 4.22 cm

a) In this part, we are asked to calculate the distance from positive plate at which the electron and proton pass each other.

Solution:

First of all:

Force on proton due to the Electric field between the plates is:

$F_{p}$ = $q_{p}$ E

and, we know that, F = ma

So,

$m_{p}$ a = $q_{p}$ E

a = $\frac{q_{p}.E }{m_{p} }$ Equation 1

So,

The distance covered by the electron is:

S = ut + 1/2 $at^{2}$

Here, u = 0.

S = 1/2 $at^{2}$

Put equation 1 into the above equation:

S = 1/2 x ( $\frac{q_{p}.E }{m_{p} }$ ) $t^{2}$ Equation 2

So,

Similarly, the distance covered by electron will be:

(D-S) = 1/2 x ( $\frac{q_{e}.E }{m_{e} }$ ) $t^{2}$ Equation 3

We know that the charge of electron is equal to the charge of proton so,

$q_{p}$ = $q_{e}$ = q

By dividing the equation 2 by equation 3, we get:

$\frac{S}{D-S}$ = $\frac{m_{e} }{m_{p} }$

Solve the above equation for S,

S $m_{p}$ = $m_{e}$ D - $m_{e}$ S

So,

S = $\frac{m_{e}.D }{(m_{e} + m_{p}) }$

Plugging in the values,

As we know the mass of electron is 9.1 x $10^{-31}$ and the mass of proton is 1.67 x $10^{-27}$

S = $\frac{9.1 . 10^{-31} . 4.22 }{(9.1 . 10^{-31} + 1.67 . 10^{-27} }$

S = 0.002298 cm (Distance from the positive plate at which the two pass each other)

b) In this part, we to calculate distance for Sodium ion and chloride ion as above.

So,

we already have the equation, we need to put the values in it.

So,

S = $\frac{m_{Cl}.D }{(m_{Cl} + m_{Na}) }$

As we know the mass of chlorine is 35.5 and of sodium is 23

S = $\frac{35.5 . 4.22}{(35.5 + 23)}$

S = 2.56 cm

What is the moment of inertia of an object that rolls without slipping down a 3.5-m- high incline starting from rest, and has a

Daniel [21]

Answer:

I = 0.287 MR²

Explanation:

given,

height of the object = 3.5 m

initial velocity = 0 m/s

final velocity = 7.3 m/s

moment of inertia = ?

Using total conservation of mechanical energy

change in potential energy will be equal to change in KE (rotational) and KE(transnational)

PE = KE(transnational) + KE (rotational)

$mgh = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

v = r ω

$mgh = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{Iv^2}{r^2}$

$I = \dfrac{m(2gh - v^2)r^2}{v^2}$

$I = \dfrac{mr^2(2\times 9.8 \times 3.5 - 7.3^2)}{7.3^2}$

$I =mr^2(0.287)$

I = 0.287 MR²
