Given data:

Volume of calcite (V) = 15 cm³,

mass of calcite (m) = 40.5 g,

find the

            density of calcite (ρ) = ?

density is defined as " it is the amount of matter of an object in a given volume". Simply it is the ratio of matter in an object to its volume. The unit of density is kg/m³ in SI system or g/cm³ in CGS system.

Mathematically,

                         density ( ρ) = mass/volume    

                                            = m/V     g/cm³

                                            = 40.5 g/15 cm³

                                            = 2.7 g/cm³

Hence, the density of calcite is <em>2.7 g/cm³ </em>

Halley's comet orbits the sun roughly once every 76 years. It comes very close to the surface of the Sun on its closest approach
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

r1 = 5*10^10 m , r2 = 6*10^12 m

v1 = 9*10^4 m/s

From conservation of energy

K1 +U1 = K2 +U2

0.5mv1^2 - GMm/r1 = 0.5mv2^2 - GMm/r2

0.5v1^2 - GM/r1 = 0.5v2^2 - GM/r2

M is mass of sun = 1.98*10^30 kg

G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2

0.5*(9*10^4)^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(5*10^10)) = 0.5v2^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(6*10^12))

v2 = 5.35*10^4 m/s

What happens to the iron in the coilgun if the electricity in the coil was turned on
Andrews [41]

  • <em><u>The piece of iron has become a magnet. Some substances can be magnetized by an electric current. When electricity runs through a coil of wire, it produces a magnetic field. The field around the coil will disappear, however, as soon as the electric current is turned off.</u></em>

What horizontally-applied force will accelerate a crate of mass 400 kg at 1 meter per second per second across a factory floor a
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The horizontally applied force = 2360 N

Explanation:

<em>Force:</em> Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration. the S.I unit of force is Newton (N)

Fh = Fr + ma......... Equation 1

Where Fh = horizontally applied force, Fr = friction force, m = mass of the crate, a = acceleration of the crate.

<em>Given: m = 400 kg, a = 1 m/s²</em>

Fr = 1/2 W, W = mg  ⇒W = 400×9.8 = 3920 N

∴Fr = 1/2(3920), Fr = 1960 N

Substituting these values into equation 1

Fh = 1960 + 400×1

Fh = 1960 + 400

Fh = 2360 N

Therefore the horizontally applied force = 2360 N

A 0.660 kg ball is dropped from rest from the top of a building and falls for 5.65 seconds. How tall was the building ?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The height of the building is approximately 156.58 m

Explanation:

The mass of the ball dropped from rest from the building top = 0.660 kg

The time in which the ball falls, t = 5.65 seconds

The height, h, of the building is given from the following equation of motion;

h = u·t + ¹/₂·g·t²

Where;

u = The initial velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Plugging in the values, we have;

h = 0 × 5.65 + ¹/₂ × 9.81 × 5.65² ≈ 156.58 m

The height of the building, h ≈ 156.58 m.
