You would like to know whether silicon will float in mercury and you know that can determine this based on their densities. Unfo

rtunately, you have the density of mercury in units of kilogram-meter^3 and the density of silicon in other units: 2.33 gram-centimeter^3. You decide to convert the density of silicon into units of kilogram-meter^3 to perform the comparison.
By which combination of conversion factors will you multiply 2.33 gram-centimeter^3 to perform the unit conversion?

Answer:

Explanation:

To convert gram / centimeter³ to kg / m³

gram / centimeter³

= 10⁻³ kg / centimeter³

= 10⁻³  / (10⁻²)³ kg / m³

= 10⁻³ / 10⁻⁶ kg / m³

= 10⁻³⁺⁶ kg / m³

= 10³ kg / m³

So we shall have to multiply be 10³ with amount in gm / cm³ to convert it into kg/m³

2.33 gram / cm³

= 2.33 x 10³ kg / m³ .

Elenna [48]

Answer:

They both cross the finish line with the same kinetic energy

Explanation:

Same force, same displacement, so same KE at the location of the finish line. They don’t cross the line at the same time, but that was not the question!

∆KA= (mA/2)vF,A2

∆KA=∆KBso vF,B/vF,A= (MA/MB)1/2∆KB= (mB/2)vF,B2

Lighter boat goes faster so reaches finish line 1st

In 2007, michael carter (u.s.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m. what was the initial speed of the sho
Serga [27]

The initial speed of the shot is 15.02 m/s.

The Shot put is released at a height y<em> </em>from the ground with a speed u. It is released at an angle θ to the horizontal. In a time t, the shot put travels a distance <em>R</em> horizontally.

Pl refer to the attached diagram.

Resolve the velocity u into horizontal and vertical components, u ₓ=ucosθ and uy=u sinθ. The horizontal component remains constant in the absence of air resistance, while the vertical component varies due to the action of the gravitational force.

Write an expression for R.

R=u_xt=(ucos \theta)t

Therefore,

t=\frac{R}{ucos\theta} .......(1)

In the time t, the net displacement of the shotput is y in the downward direction.

Use the equation of motion,

y=u_yt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2=(usin\theta) t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Substitute the value of t from equation (1).

y=(ucos\theta)(\frac{R}{ucos\theta} )-\frac{1}{2} g(\frac{R}{ucos\theta} )^2\\ =Rtan\theta-(\frac{gR^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta} )

Substitute -2.10 m for y, 24.77 m for R and 38.0° for θ and solve for u.

y=Rtan\theta-(\frac{gR^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta} )\\ (-2.10m)=(24.77 m)(tan38.0^o)-\frac{(9.8 m/s^2)(24.77m)^2}{2u^2(cos38.0^o)^2} \\ u^2=225.71(m/s)^2\\ u=15.02m/s

The shot put was thrown with a speed 15.02 m/s.

According to Ohm’s law, which combination of units is the same as the unit for resistance? volt ÷ ampere ampere × volt volt + am
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

volt ÷ ampere

Explanation:

The mathematical form of Ohms law is given by :

V = IR

Where V is voltage

I is current

R is resistance

R=\dfrac{V}{I}

The unit of voltage is volt and that of current is ampere

Unit of resistance :

R=\dfrac{\text{volt}}{\text{ampere}}

So, volt ÷ ampere is the same as the unit of resistance. Hence, the correct option is (a).
