Arte-miy333 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Yes and no.

Explanation: Mass is the amount of matter in an object, whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity. Objects on the surface of the earth have weight, although sometimes the weight is difficult to measure.

How t calculate gravitational force
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

F=G(m1m2)/Rsquare if radius is given

F=G(m1m2)/dsquare if distance is given

where,

f =gravitational force

G =gravitational constant

m1=mass of one object

m2=mass of another object

d=distance between two object from their center r=radius of earth/planet

The British gold sovereign coin is an alloy of gold and copper having a total mass of 7.988 g, and is 22-karat gold 24 x (mass o
matrenka [14]

Answers:

(a) 0.0073kg

(b) Volume gold: 3.79(10)^{-7}m^{3}, Volume cupper: 7.6(10)^{-8}m^{3}

(c) 17633.554kg/m^{3}

Explanation:

<h2>(a) Mass of gold </h2><h2 />

We are told the total mass M of the coin, which is an alloy  of gold and copper is:

M=m_{gold}+m_{copper}=7.988g=0.007988kg   (1)

Where  m_{gold} is the mass of gold and m_{copper} is the mass of copper.

In addition we know it is a 22-karat gold and the relation between the number of karats K and mass is:

K=24\frac{m_{gold}}{M}   (2)

Finding {m_{gold}:

m_{gold}=\frac{22}{24}M   (3)

m_{gold}=\frac{22}{24}(0.007988kg)   (4)

m_{gold}=0.0073kg   (5)  This is the mass of gold in the coin

<h2>(b) Volume of gold and cupper</h2><h2 />

The density \rho of an object is given by:

\rho=\frac{mass}{volume}

If we want to find the volume, this expression changes to: volume=\frac{mass}{\rho}

For gold, its volume V_{gold} will be a relation between its mass m_{gold}  (found in (5)) and its density \rho_{gold}=19.30g/cm^{3}=19300kg/m^{3}:

V_{gold}=\frac{m_{gold}}{\rho_{gold}}   (6)

V_{gold}=\frac{0.0073kg}{19300kg/m^{3}}   (7)

V_{gold}=3.79(10)^{-7}m^{3}   (8)  Volume of gold in the coin

For copper, its volume V_{copper} will be a relation between its mass m_{copper}  and its density \rho_{copper}=8.96g/cm^{3}=8960kg/m^{3}:

V_{copper}=\frac{m_{copper}}{\rho_{copper}}   (9)

The mass of copper can be found by isolating m_{copper} from (1):

M=m_{gold}+m_{copper}  

m_{copper}=M-m_{gold}  (10)

Knowing the mass of gold found in (5):

m_{copper}=0.007988kg-0.0073kg=0.000688kg  (11)

Now we can find the volume of copper:

V_{copper}=\frac{0.000688kg}{8960kg/m^{3}}   (12)

V_{copper}=7.6(10)^{-8}m^{3}   (13)  Volume of copper in the coin

<h2>(c) Density of the sovereign coin</h2><h2 />

Remembering density is a relation between mass and volume, in the case of the coin the density \rho_{coin will be a relation between its total mass M and its total volume V:

\rho_{coin}=\frac{M}{V} (14)

Knowing the total volume of the coin is:

V=V_{gold}+V_{copper}=3.79(10)^{-7}m^{3}+7.6(10)^{-8}m^{3}=4.53(10)^{-7}m^{3} (15)

\rho_{coin}=\frac{0.007988kg}{4.53(10)^{-7}m^{3}} (16)

Finally:

\rho_{coin}=17633.554kg/m^{3}} (17)  This is the total density of the British sovereign coin
