How would you measure the volume of an oddly shaped object

Physics
1 answer:
weqwewe [10]3 years ago

Answer:

By placing it in water and measuring how high the water rises

Explanation:

You can place the object in a can filled with water. You'll then see that as it sits there, the water level rises. You would then measure that to find the volume.

A 900 kg steel beam is supported by the two ropes shown in (Figure 1) . Calculate the tension in the rope.
Rzqust [24]
Let T1 and T2 be tension in ropes1 and 2 respectively. 
<span>since system is stationary (equilibrium), considering both ropes + beam as a system </span>

<span>for horizontal equilibrium (no movement in that direction, so resultant force must be zero horizontally) </span>
<span>T1sin(20) = T2sin(30) </span>
<span>=> T1 = T2sin(30) / sin(20) </span>

<span>for vertical equilibrium, (no movement in this direction, so resultant force must be zero vertically) </span>
<span>T1cos(20) + T2cos(30) = mg </span>

<span>m = 900kg, substituting for T1 </span>
<span>T2sin(30)*cos(20)/sin(20) + T2cos(30) = 900g </span>
<span>2.328*T2 = 900*9.8 </span>
<span>T2 = 3788.65N </span>
<span>so T1 from (1) </span>
<span>T1 = 5535.21N</span>

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the time required for acceleration a₁ and deceleration a₂ be t₁ and t₂ .

Since final velocity during acceleration and initial velocity during deceleration are same

a₁ t₁ = a₂ t₂

5t₁ = 2 t₂ ------------------------------------------ ( 1 )

Distance travelled during acceleration = 1/2 a₁t₁²

= 1/2 x 5 x t₁² = 2.5 t₁²

Distance travelled during deceleration = 1/2 a₂t₂²

= 1/2 x 2 x t₂² = t₂²

Total distance travelled = 2 miles = 2 x 1760 x 3 ft = 10560

2.5 t₁² + t₂² = 10560

2.5 ( 2t₂ / 5  )² + t₂² = 10560

.4 t₂² + t₂² = 10560

1.4 t₂² = 10560

t₂ = 86.85 s

t₁ = 2t₂ / 5 = 34.75 s

t₁ + t₂ = 121.6 = 122 s

Total time taken = 122 s .

maximum velocity = a₁t₁

= 5 x 34.75 = 173.75 = 174 m/s .

damaskus [11]

Answer:

4.78 m/s^2

Explanation:

A)From he FBD

we can write

Tcosθ= mg

Tsinθ= ma

dividing we get tanθ= a/g

a= g tanθ

a= 9.81 tan26°= 4.78 m/s^2

Dominik [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

s = 50 t^2

Differentiate both sides with respect to t

ds/dt = 50 x 2 t

ds/dt = 100 t

Substitute t = 10 second

ds/dt = 100 x 10

ds/dt = 1000 m/s

thus, the rate of change of elevation is 1000 m/s.

Draw an atom of Aluminum, use your book to find the Atomic number and the mass.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Solution

The atomic number of iodine (53) tells us that a neutral iodine atom contains 53 protons in its nucleus and 53 electrons outside its nucleus. Because the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons equals the mass number, 127, the number of neutrons is 74 (127 − 53 = 74). Since the iodine is added as a 1− anion, the number of electrons is 54 [53 – (1–) = 54].
