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...

Two neutron stars are separated by a distance of 1.0 x 1012 m. They each have a mass of 1.0 x 1028 kg and a radius of 1.0 x 103
son4ous [18]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Gravitational Potential Energy.

Gravitational potential energy can be defined as

PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}

As M=m, then

PE = -\frac{Gm^2}{R}

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

R = Distance /Radius

PART A) As half its initial value is u'=2u, then

U = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}

dU = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}

dKE = -dU

Therefore replacing we have that,

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =\frac{Gm^2}{2R}

Re-arrange to find v,

v= \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{R}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*1*10^{28}}{1*10^{12}}}

v = 816.7m/s

Therefore the  velocity when the separation has decreased to one-half its initial value is 816m/s

PART B) With a final separation distance of 2r, we have that

2r = 2*10^3m

Therefore

dU = Gm^2(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{2r})

v = \sqrt{Gm(\frac{1}{2r}-\frac{1}{R})}

v = \sqrt{6.67*10^{-11}*10^{28}(\frac{1}{2*10^3}-\frac{1}{10^{12}})}

v = 1.83*10^7m/s

Therefore the velocity when they are about to collide is 1.83*10^7m/s

A 26-kg sled is on a snow-covered slope. The coefficients of friction between the sled’s runners and the snow are µs = 0.096 and µ
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of sled =26 kg

coefficient of static friction \mu _s=0.096

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.072

In order to move sled from rest we need to provide a force greater than static friction which is given by

f_s=\mu mg=0.096\times 26\times 9.8=24.46 N

After Moving Sled kinetic friction comes in to play which is less than static friction

f_k=\mu _kmg=0.072\times 26\times 9.8=18.34 N

therefore minimum force to keep moving sledge at constant velocity is 18.34 N
