What is specific gravity?

1 answer:

Dovator [93]2 years ago

7 0

Answer:

Specific gravity, also called relative density, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume

Explanation: Hope this helps also looking these questions up could help :)

A rock thrown with speed 8.50 m/s and launch angle 30.0 ∘ (above the horizontal) travels a horizontal distance of d = 19.0 m bef

frez [133]

Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown below.

The vertical component of the launch velocity is
v = (8.5 m/s)*sin30° = 4.25 m/s
The horizontal component of the launch velocity is
8.5*cos30° = 7.361 m/s

Assume that aerodynamic resistance may be ignored.
Because the horizontal distance traveled is 19 m, the time of travel is
t = 19/7.361 = 2.581 s

The downward vertical travel is modeled by
h = (-4.25 m/s)*(2.581 s) + 0.5*(9.8 m/s²)*(2.581 s)²
= 21.675 m

Answer: The height is 21.7 m (nearest tenth)

A 73-kg Norwegian olympian ski champion is going down a hill sloped at 39 ◦ . The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sk

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

net force on the skier = mg sin 39 - μ mg cos39

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 )

= 73 x 9.8 ( .629 - .116)

= 367 N

impulse = net force x time = change in momentum .

= 367 x 5 = 1835 kg m /s

velocity of the skier after 5 s = 1835 / 73

= 25.13 m /s

b )

net force becomes zero

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 ) = 0

μ = tan39

= .81

c )

net force becomes zero , so he will continue to go ahead with constant speed of 25.13 m /s

so he will have speed of 25.13 m /s after 5 s .

A steel wire of length 31.0 m and a copper wire of length 17.0 m, both with 1.00-mm diameters, are connected end to end and stre

Brut [27]

Answer:

The time taken is $t = 0.356 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of steel the wire is $l_1 = 31.0 \ m$

The length of the copper wire is $l_2 = 17.0 \ m$

The diameter of the wire is $d = 1.00 \ m = 1.0 *10^{-3} \ m$

The tension is $T = 122 \ N$

The time taken by the transverse wave to travel the length of the two wire is mathematically represented as

$t = t_s + t_c$

Where $t_s$ is the time taken to transverse the steel wire which is mathematically represented as

$t_s = l_1 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho * \pi * d^2 }{ 4 * T} } ]$

here $\rho_s$ is the density of steel with a value $\rho_s = 8920 \ kg/m^3$

So

$t_s = 31 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{8920 * 3.142* (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 * 122} } ]$

$t_s = 0.235 \ s$

And

$t_c$ is the time taken to transverse the copper wire which is mathematically represented as

$t_c = l_2 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho_c * \pi * d^2 }{ 4 * T} } ]$

here $\rho_c$ is the density of steel with a value $\rho_s = 7860 \ kg/m^3$

So

$t_c = 17 * [ \sqrt{ \frac{7860 * 3.142* (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 * 122} } ]$

$t_c =0.121$

So

$t = t_c + t_s$

$t = 0.121 + 0.235$

$t = 0.356 \ s$
