Answer:

The density of plastic is equal to 0.6 g/mL.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of piece of plastic, m = 15 g

It is placed in a graduated cylinder. The water level in the graduated cylinder rises from 30 mL to 55 mL when the plastic is added.

We need to find the density of plastic.

Rise in volume = 55 mL - 30 mL

= 25 mL

The density of an object is given by :

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{15\ g}{25\ mL}\\\\d=0.6\ g/mL$

So, the density of plastic is equal to 0.6 g/mL.

Dina has a mass of 50 kilograms and is waiting at the top of a ski slope that’s 5.0 meters high.

Over [174]

All of Dina's potential energy Ep is converted into kinetic energy Ek so Ep=Ek, where Ep=m*g*h and Ek=(1/2)*m*v². m is the mass of Dina, h is the height of ski slope, g=9.8 m/s² and v is the maximal velocity.

So we solve for v:

m*g*h=(1/2)*m*v², masses cancel out,

g*h=(1/2)*v², we multiply by 2,

2*g*h=v² and take the square root to get v

√(2*g*h)=v, we plug in the numbers and get:

v=9.9 m/s.

So Dina's maximum velocity on the bottom of the ski slope is v=9.9 m/s.

A 4.5 g coin sliding to the right at 23.8 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 13.5 g coin that is initially at rest.

Airida [17]

Answer:

a) $v = 11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} \,(11.9\,\frac{cm}{s} )$ , b) $\Delta K = 9.559\times 10^{-5}\,J$

Explanation:

a) The final velocity of the 13.5 g coin is found by the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

$(4.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot (23.8\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} )+(13.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg})\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} ) = (4.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot (-11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} )+(13.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg})\cdot v$

The final velocity is:

$v = 11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} \,(11.9\,\frac{cm}{s} )$

b) The change in the kinetic energy of the 13.5 g coin is:

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (13.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left[(11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(0\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}\right]$

$\Delta K = 9.559\times 10^{-5}\,J$
