What is the difference between density and specific gravity

1 answer:

4 0

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It has the SI unit kg m-3 or Kg/m-3 and is an absolute quantity. Specific gravity is the ratio of a material's density with that of water at 4 °C (where it is most dense and is taken to have the value 999.974 kg·m-3). It is therefore a relative quantity with no units.

A 2430 pound roller coaster starts from rest and is launched such that it crests a 105 ft high hill with a speed of 59 mph. The

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of roller coaster is $W=2430\ pound$

mass of roller coaster $m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{2430}{32.2}=75.45$

Distance traveled by roller coaster $d=396\ ft$

drag force $f_d=85\ pounds$

velocity at top $v=59 mph\approx 86.53\ ft/s$

Suppose E is the initial energy

Conserving Energy at bottom and top

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh+f_d\cdot d$

$E=0.5\times 75.45\times 86.53^2+2430\times 105+85\times 396$

$E=2.9\times 10^5\ foot-pound$

1.) Waves transfer ______ without moving ______

kondor19780726 [428]

I believe it goes as the following::

1) Waves transfer energy without moving particles

2) The two types of waves are longitudinal and transverse waves OR The two types of waves are mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Both are applicable and should be correct!

A 3874-kg rollercoaster is brought to the top of a 42m hill in 40 seconds,then drops 28m before the next hill.

Ede4ka [16]

(a) The work required to get the coaster to the top of the first hill is 1,594,538.4 J.

(b) The power required to bring the train to the top of the first hill is 39,863.46 W.

(d) The left at the bottom is determined as 1,063,025.6 J.

<h3>Work done to bring the rollercoaster top of the hill</h3>

W = Fn x d = mgh

W = 3874 x 9.8 x 42

W = 1,594,538.4 J

<h3>Power dissipated in bringing the rollercoaster on top hill</h3>

P = Fv

P = Fd/t

P = W/t

P = 1,594,538.4 /40 = 39,863.46 W

<h3>Energy lost when the coaster drops</h3>

E = 1,594,538.4 - (3874 x 9.8 x 28)

E = 531,512.8 J

<h3>Energy left at the bottom</h3>

E = 3874 x 9.8 x 28 = 1,063,025.6 J

Consider a highway composed of concrete. If the road is 4.5 km long, 30 m wide, and 0.70 m thick, what is its mass?

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need to assume that the density of the concrete is about 2350 Kg/m^3. And using the dimensions of the highway we can calculate the volume of the highway.

$vh=4500 * 30 * 0,70\\vh=94500 m^3\\den=m/v\\m=den*v\\m=2350*94500\\\\m=222075 ton$

A man with a weight of 100 N is located

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Given,

mass of man = 100 N = 10 kg

height = h = 25m

since the man does not move anything with his force, work done by him is zero

work done on the man = gain in potential energy

P.E=mgh

P.E=10×9.8×25

P.E=2.45KJ

Explanation:

so, potential energy gained by man is 2.45 KJ
