Consider a highway composed of concrete. If the road is 4.5 km long, 30 m wide, and 0.70 m thick, what is its mass?

Physics

Aloiza [94]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

We need to assume that the density of the concrete is about 2350 Kg/m^3. And using the dimensions of the highway we can calculate the volume of the highway.

vh=4500 * 30 * 0,70\\vh=94500 m^3\\den=m/v\\m=den*v\\m=2350*94500\\\\m=222075 ton

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s .
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Force exerted, F = 1.5 N

Explanation:

It is given that, a boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s.

i.e. u = 0

v = 30 m/s

Time taken, t = 0.06 s

Mass of the paper, m = 0.003 kg

We need to find the force the boxer exert on it. The force can be calculated using second law of motion as :

F=m\times a

F=m\times (\dfrac{v-u}{t})

F=0.003\times (\dfrac{30}{0.06})

F = 1.5 N

So, the force the boxer exert on the paper is 1.5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 2kg block of which material would require 450 joules of thermal energy to increase its temperature by 1 degree Celsius?
12345 [234]

The block is made of A) Tin, as its specific heat capacity is 0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of material of mass m, the temperature of the material increases by \Delta T, according to the following equation :

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where  C_s is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In this problem, we have:

m = 2 kg = 2000 g is the mass of the unknown material

Q = 450 J is the amount of energy supplied to the block

\Delta T = 1^{\circ}C is the change in temperature of the material

Solving the equation for C_s, we can find the specific heat capacity of the unknown sample:

C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}=\frac{450}{(2000)(1)}=0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)

And by comparing with tabular values, we can find that this value is approximately the specific heat capacity of tin.

Describe the friction of smooth surfaces
cluponka [151]

When two surfaces slide against each other, a force called friction makes them stick very slightly together. Smooth surfaces, like ice and glass, are easy to slide over. They create very little friction. Rough surfaces like rock and sand create much more friction, and are easy to grip on to.

hope it helps...!!!
