Answer: a graduated cylinder and balance
A rock has an irregular shape. so, it would be difficult to measure using a meter stick. most convenient method to find the volume would be using a graduated cylinder. we can take a fixed volume of water in the cylinder. then drop rock into it. note the new raised volume. Subtract the initial volume from final to find the volume of rock.
Using balance, mass of the rock can be measured.
we can calculate the density using the following formula:
Therefore, we need only two tools, a graduated cylinder and a balance to measure mass, volume and density of a rock.
Answer:
2.73414 seconds
467622.66798 J
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a
or
The time taken is 2.73414 seconds
The potential energy is given by
The change in potential energy is 467622.66798 J
Answer:
619.8 N
Explanation:
The tension in the string provides the centripetal force that keeps the rock in circular motion, so we can write:
where
T is the tension
m is the mass of the rock
v is the speed
r is the radius of the circular path
At the beginning,
T = 50.4 N
v = 21.1 m/s
r = 2.51 m
So we can use the equation to find the mass of the rock:
Later, the radius of the string is decreased to
r' = 1.22 m
While the speed is increased to
v' = 51.6 m/s
Substituting these new data into the equation, we find the tension at which the string breaks:
