Answer: 3.21 N

$Specific\hspace{1mm} gravity = \frac {Density\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}substance}{Density\hspace{1mm} of \hspace{1mm}water}$

$\Rightarrow Density \hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}substance= 2.32\times 1000\hspace{1mm} kg/m^3 = 2320\hspace{1mm}kg/m^3\\ Mass =Density\times volume\\ \Rightarrow 2320 \hspace{1mm} kg/m^3\times 8.64 \hspace{1mm}in^3\times \frac {1.64\times10^{-5} m^3}{1\hspace{1mm}in^3}=0.328 kg$

For weight, we will multiply by $g=9.8 m/s^{-2}$

$weight= 0.328\times9.8=3.21\hspace{1mm}N$

Hence, the rock would weigh 3.21 N.

A theory was not originally a hypothesis. true or false?

Serhud [2]

False.

Theories are hypotheses that have been shown to accurately and predictably explain results obtained through repeated experimentation, to the point where the hypothesis can be assumed to be true. Then, such a hypothesis would be considered a theory.

Identify the independent, dependent, and constant variables for different experiments.

diamong [38]

ANSWER:

IV, Type of dish detergent. DV, height of foam. CV, type of container, amount of water in container, temperature of water, time the container is agitated.

Explanation:

Independent variable(IV)- what you change during the experiment.

dependent variable(DV)- what you're measuring during an experiment. The dependent variable is DEPENDENT because it's results DEPEND on the independent variable at play.

Constant variables(CV)- things that do not change in order to isolate the tested variables as much as possible.

You place ammonium nitrate crystals in water and stirred. As you do so, the container becomes cold to the touch. This an example

ankoles [38]

The process of flask becoming cold is due to endothermic reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

So two kinds of heat transfer can be possible in any chemical reaction. If the sample is considered as system and the sample container is considered as the surrounding, then heat transfer can occur between them.

If the heat is transferred from the surrounding to the system , then it is an endothermic reaction. And in those cases, the sample holder will be becoming colder. This is because the heat from the surrounding that is the container will be utilized to complete the reaction.

While when there is transfer of heat from the system to surrounding , it will be exothermic reaction and the beaker will be getting hot in this process. So in the present case, the container is becoming cold because of occurrence of endothermic process.

A 72-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.61 m,

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

2849.98 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done by the boy = change Potential energy of the boy + change in kinetic energy of the boy

W = ΔP + ΔK..................... Equation 1

Where W = work done by the boy, ΔP = change in potential energy of the boy, ΔK = Change in kinetic energy of the boy.

But,

ΔP = mgΔh.................... Equation 2

ΔK = 1/2mΔv²................. Equation 3

Where m = mass of the boy, Δh = change in height of the boy, Δv = change in velocity of the boy.

Substitute equation 2 and 3 into equation 1

W = mgΔh+1/2mΔv²................. Equation 4

Given: m = 72 kg, Δh = 1.61 m, Δv = 8.5-1.6 = 6.9 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 72(9.8)(1.61)+1/2(72)(6.9²)

W = 1136.016+1713.96

W = 2849.98 J

an object with a mass of 5kg is moving with an initial velocity of 20m/s.the object accelerates at a rate of 15m/s/s for 8s.what

Alinara [238K]

It doesn't matter what the object's initial velocity is, or how long
the acceleration lasts. All that matters is the object's mass and
acceleration.

Force = (mass) x (acceleration) =

(5kg) x (15 m/s²) =

75 kg-m/s² = <em>75 newtons .</em>
