Of the two samples described in parts A and B, the sample of iron has more mass and feels heavier than the sample of gold. Does

this mean that the density of iron is greater? Explain.

No, it says nothing about their densities. OF COURSE you can have a piece of iron that's heavier than a piece of gold, or a bottle of Carbon-dioxide that's heavier than a bottle of water. Just play with the size of the samples, and you can cook up a box of feathers that's heavier than a box of rocks.

Densities can only be compared when both samples you're comparing have the SAME MASS.

Answer: Density is a ratio of mass to volume. Density can’t be determined with only one of these measurements. The previous examples show that the density of gold is greater than the density of iron, even though the iron sample has a higher mass.

Two cats are sitting on a 30 m hill. One cat
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Cat with 6 kg sitting on a 30 meter hill has greater potential energy.

Explanation:

gravitational potential energy (J) = mass (kg) × gravitational field × height (m)

<h3 /><h3><u>Note</u>:</h3>

gravitational field in Earth is 10 N/kg = <u>fixed unit</u>

<h3 /><h3><u>Given</u>:</h3>

1st Cat: 4 kg

2nd Cat: 6 kg

Both of their height is 30 meters.

<h3><u>Solve for g.p.e</u>:</h3>

1st cat = mgh = 4 × 10 × 30 = 1200 Joules

2nd cat = mgh = 6 × 10 × 30 = 1800 Joules

You are standing in an elevator that is accelerating upward at 1m/s². Which of the following pairs of forces is an action-reacti
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

B The force that the floor of the elevator exerts on you and the force that you exert on the floor of the elevator

Explanation:

A. is incorrect because the force of gravity on you will always stays the same while the force of the elevator exerts on you changes as it takes you upward

B. is correct in accordance to Newton's 3rd law of action and reaction forces.

C. is incorrect because gravity force stays the same while the force that you exerts on the floor change as elevator moving upward.

D. is incorrect although it states Newton's 1st law. However there can still be pair of forces (part B) that could counter balance each other among other forces.

A 7.25 kg7.25 kg block is sent up a ramp inclined at an angle ????=28.5°θ=28.5° from the horizontal. It is given an initial velo
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

15.03 m

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the block, m = 7.25 kg

Angle, Θ = 28.5°

Initial speed of the block, v₀ = 15 m/s

let the distance traveled by the block be 's'

Now, applying the work energy theorem,

we have

(m\times g\times\sin(\theta)\times s) + \mu_k\times mg\times s\times cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{2}\times m\times v^2

on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

(7.25\times 9.8\times\sin(28.5^o)\times s) + 0.326\times 7.25\times9.8\times s\times cos(28.5^o) = \frac{1}{2}\times 7.25\times 15^2

or

33.902\times s) +20.35\times s = 815.625

or

54.252\times s = 815.625

s = 15.03 m

Hence, the block will travel 15.03 m up the ramp
