A Perspex container has a 6 cm square base and contains

crimeas [40]

Answer:

a) V = 252 cm³

b) Vs = 72 cm³

Explanation:

The volume of the water can be given by the following formula:

$Volume\ of\ Water = V = (Base\ Area)(Height)\\V = (Length)^2(Height)\\V = (6\ cm)^2(7\ cm)\\$

V = 252 cm³

The volume of stone can be given by the change in volume of the water when the stone is dipped into it.

$Volume\ of\ Stone = Vs = (Length)^2(Change\ in\ Height\ of\ Water)\\Vs = (6\ cm)^2(9\ cm - 7\ cm)\\$

Vs = 72 cm³

Two velcro-covered pucks slide across the ice, collide and stick to one another. Their interaction with the ice is frictionless.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. False

4. True

Explanation:

Conservation of Momentum

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the system formed by both pucks won't change regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

The momentum of an object of mass ma moving at speed va is

$p_a=m_a.v_a$

The total momentum of both pucks at the initial condition is

$p_1=m_a.v_a+m_b.v_b$

Both pucks are moving to the right and puck B has twice the mass of puck A (let's call it m), thus

$m_a=m$

$m_b=2m$

We are given

$v_a=6\ m/s\\v_b=2\ m/s$

The total initial momentum is

$p_1=6m+2(2m)=10m$

At the final condition, both pucks stick together, thus the total mass is 3m and the final speed is common, thus

$p_2=3m.v'$

Equating the initial and final momentum

$10m=3m.v'$

Solving for v'

$v'=10/3\ m/s=3.33\ m/s$

1. Compute the initial kinetic energy:

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}mv_a^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_b^2$

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 6^2+\frac{1}{2}2m\cdot 2^2$

$K_1=18m+4m=22m$

The final kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv'^2$

$\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 3.33^2+\frac{1}{2}2m\cdot 3.33^2$

$K_2=16.63m$

As seen, part of the kinetic energy is lost in the collision, thus the statement is False

2. The initial speed of puck B was 2 m/s and the final speed was 3.33 m/s, thus it increased the speed: True

3. The initial speed of puck A was 6 m/s and the final speed was 3.33 m/s, thus it decreased the speed: False

4. The momentum is conserved since that was the initial assumption to make all the calculations. True

$p_1=10m$

$p_2=3m.v'=3m(10/3)=10m$

What does density have to do with heat?

joja [24]

If you take a fluid (i.e. air or water) and heat it, the portion that is heated usually expands. The same mass takes up more volume and as a consequence the heated portion becomes less dense than the portion that is not heated.
