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.

Observer A, who is at rest in the laboratory, is studying a particle that is moving through the laboratory at a speed of v=0.8c

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

30.96 m

Explanation:

If the particle has a lifetime of 129 ns as measured by observer A, and has a speed of 0.8c as measured by observer A, the distance between the markers will be:

d = v * Δt

v = 0.8*c = 0.8 * 3e8 = 2.4e8

Δt = ζ = 129 ns = 1.29e-7 s

d = 2.4e8 * 1.29e-7 = 30.96 m

This is the distance as measured by observer A.
