A golden-colored cube is handed to you. The person wants you to buy it for $100, saying that is a gold nugget. You pull out your

old geology text and look up gold in the mineral table, and read that its density is 19.3 g/cm3. You measure the cube and find that it is 2 cm on each side, and weighs 40 g. What is its density? Is it gold? Should you buy it?

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of cube=side³

=2*2*2

=8 cm³

Mass of cube=40g

Its density=mass/volume

=5g/cm³

which differs the value given in the text hence it is not gold and u should not bye it...

Instead u should call the police for arresting the person lol...

A 13-kg sled is moving at a speed of 3.0 m/s. At which of the following speeds will the sled have twice as much kinetic energy?
AysviL [449]
K.E. = 1/2 mv²
K.E. is directly proportional to v^2
So, when K.E. increase by 2, K.E. increase by root. 2
v' = 1.41v
original v value was 3 so, final would be:
v' = 1.41*3 = 4.23
After round-off to it's tenth value, it will be:
v' = 4.2

So, option B is your answer!

Hope this helps!

a train car of mass 444 kg moving at 5 m/s bounces into another car on the same tracks of mass 344 king. of the second car was m
Kamila [148]

Answer:

3.7 m/s

Explanation:

M = 444 kg

U = 5 m/s

m = 344 kg

u = - 5 m/s

Let the velocity of train is V and the car s v after the collision.

As the collision is elastic

By use of conservation of momentum

MU + mu = MV + mv

444 x 5 - 344 x 5 = 444 V + 344 v

500 = 444 V + 344 v

125 = 111 V + 86 v .... (1)

By using the formula of coefficient of restitution ( e = 1 for elastic collision)

e = \frac{V-v}{u-U}

-5 - 5 = V - v

V - v = - 10

v = V + 10

Substitute the value of v in equation (1)

125 = 111 V + 86 (V + 10)

125 = 197 V + 860

197 V = - 735

V = - 3.7 m/s

Thus, the speed of first car after collision is 3.7 m/s. negative sign shows that the direction is reverse as before the collision.

How have earthquake data been used to explore the size of convection currents in the mantle?
nadezda [96]
 <span>Vibration waves from earth quakes travel through the earth and have measurable speed. And the different temperatures and fluidity of the various regions of the mantle will change that speed and or reflect the vibration waves in different directions. With multiple vibration sensors around the world the time that it takes for vibrations to travel from one part of the world to another will tell you what is inside.</span>
