Answer:

the number of grains in the ball is 274,848

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter = 0.5 mm

so radius r = 0.25 mm

first we determine the volume of the ball using the following equation;

V = 4/3×πr³

we substitute

V = 4/3×π(0.25)³

V =  0.06544 mm³

Now form table 1.1 "Grain sizes" a metal with grain size number of 12 has about 4,200,000 grains/mm³

so;

Number of grains N = 0.06544 × 4,200,000

N = 274,848 grains

Therefore, the number of grains in the ball is 274,848

While driving fast around a sharp right turn, you find yourself pressing against the car door. What is happening?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

When the driver takes the sharp right turn the door will exert rightward pressure on the driver.

When the driver takes the sudden right turn the tendency of the body is to be in the straight line by the vehicle moves in the circular path so, as the vehicle turns it applies a rightward force on you.

The pushing of the door to you because of the centripetal force acting on the car due to sudden sharp turn.
