Answer:

The density ρ of metal block is 8.92g/cm³

So from the given density table this corresponds to copper which has density of 8.92(g/mL)

Explanation:

Oh yeah, I got the correct unit update,

Now this problem bothers on the density of substances

We know that the density of a substance is expressed as

Density ρ= mass/ volume

Given data

Mass of metal block m= 62.44g

Volume of metal block v= 7 cm³

Hence we can find the density of the metal block by plugging in our data into the expression for density

ρ of metal block = 62.44/7

ρ of metal block = 8.92g/cm³

The block is a copper block

A 58.0-kg projectile is fired at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 140 m/s from the top of a cliff

strojnjashka [21]

(a) $6.43\cdot 10^5 J$

The total mechanical energy of the projectile at the beginning is the sum of the initial kinetic energy (K) and potential energy (U):

$E=K+U$

The initial kinetic energy is:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m = 58.0 kg is the mass of the projectile and $v=140 m/s$ is the initial speed. Substituting,

$K=\frac{1}{2}(58 kg)(140 m/s)^2=5.68\cdot 10^5 J$

The initial potential energy is given by

$U=mgh$

where g=9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and h=132 m is the height of the cliff. Substituting,

$U=(58.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(132 m)=7.5\cdot 10^4 J$

So, the initial mechanical energy is

$E=K+U=5.68\cdot 10^5 J+7.5\cdot 10^4 J=6.43\cdot 10^5 J$

(b) $-1.67 \cdot 10^5 J$

We need to calculate the total mechanical energy of the projectile when it reaches its maximum height of y=336 m, where it is travelling at a speed of v=99.2 m/s.

The kinetic energy is

$K=\frac{1}{2}(58 kg)(99.2 m/s)^2=2.85\cdot 10^5 J$

while the potential energy is

$U=(58.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(336 m)=1.91\cdot 10^5 J$

So, the mechanical energy is

$E=K+U=2.85\cdot 10^5 J+1.91 \cdot 10^5 J=4.76\cdot 10^5 J$

And the work done by friction is equal to the difference between the initial mechanical energy of the projectile, and the new mechanical energy:

$W=E_f-E_i=4.76\cdot 10^5 J-6.43\cdot 10^5 J=-1.67 \cdot 10^5 J$

And the work is negative because air friction is opposite to the direction of motion of the projectile.

(c) 88.1 m/s

The work done by air friction when the projectile goes down is one and a half times (which means 1.5 times) the work done when it is going up, so:

$W=(1.5)(-1.67\cdot 10^5 J)=-2.51\cdot 10^5 J$

When the projectile hits the ground, its potential energy is zero, because the heigth is zero: h=0, U=0. So, the projectile has only kinetic energy:

E = K

The final mechanical energy of the projectile will be the mechanical energy at the point of maximum height plus the work done by friction:

$E_f = E_h + W=4.76\cdot 10^5 J +(-2.51\cdot 10^5 J)=2.25\cdot 10^5 J$

And this is only kinetic energy:

$E=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

So, we can solve to find the final speed:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.25\cdot 10^5 J)}{58 kg}}=88.1 m/s$

After the discovery of Uranus, astronomers calculated its orbit and predicted its position in the sky using Kepler's laws of pla

Softa [21]

Answer:

a. verify that your observations are correct

c. think about what else might cause the observed discrepancy

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that a law is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, <u>a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.</u>

Then, based on what is explained above, Kepler's laws of planetary motion exist because they were rigorously tested and verified, therefore they can not be refuted.

So, if we have a small discrepancy between the predicted and actual positions of Uranus after using Kepler's laws, we have to verify carefully our observations again and search what might be causing that discrepancy. But we cannot assume Kepler's Laws are incorrecto or need modifications.

In addition, we cannot consider that Uranus may not be a planet, because the discrepancy is small. In fact, this discrepancy lead to the discovery of another planet, Neptune.

Using an example, explain how being able to understand scientific principles and think scientifically can help you solve problem

crimeas [40]

One example is that when their food catches fire in a cooking pot or pan, it is advisable to smother the fire by covering the fire with a blanket rather than douse the fire with water. DOeing the later will only aggravate the fire. Knowledge of basic science dictates that oil and water are immiscible liquids the oil will continue to burn even as the water is poured into the oil. More so, as the water violently evaporates due to the heat, it spreads the burning oil and hence spreads the fire.
