) determine the density of a 32.5 g metal sample that displaces 8.39 ml of water.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Density is the ratio of a substance's mass to its volume. On the other hand, according to Archimedes' principle, the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object placed on the water. Thus, the density of the metal is equal to 8.39 mL. So, the density would be

Density = 32.5 g/8.39 mL = 3.87 g/mL

Assuming a vertical trajectory with no drag, derive the applicable form of the rocket equation for this application

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The vertical trajectory is governed by Ordinary Differential Equation.

Time derivatives of each state variables.

d(d)/dt = v, d(m)/dt = -d(m-fuel)/dt, d(v)/dt = F/m.

Where V is velocity positive upwards, t is time, m is mass, m-fuel is fuel mass, F is Total force, positive upwards.

Therefore,

F = -mg - D + T, If V is positive and

F = -mg + D - T, If T is negative.

D is drag and the questions gave it as zero.

Explanation:

The two sign cases in derivative equations above are required because F is defined positive up, so the drag D and thrust T can subtract or add to F depending in the sign of V . In contrast, the gravity force contribution mg is always negative. In general, F will be some function of time, and may also depend on the characteristics of the particular rocket. For example, the T component of F will become zero after all the fuel is expended, after which point the rocket will be ballistic, with only the gravity force and the aerodynamic drag force being p

A 50.-kilogram rock rolls off the edge of a cliff. if it is traveling at a speed of 24.2 m/s when it hits the ground, what is th

ElenaW [278]

The correct answer to the question is : 29.88 m.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the mass of the rock m = 50 Kg.

The rock is rolling off the edges of the cliff.

The final velocity of the rock when it hits the ground v = 24 .2 m/s.

Let the height of the cliff is h.

The potential energy gained by the rock at the top of the cliff = mgh.

Here, g is known as acceleration due to gravity, and g = $9.8\ m/s^2$

When the rock rolls off the edge of the cliff, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

When the rock hits the ground, whole of its potential energy is converted into its kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of the rock when it touches the ground is given as -

Kinetic energy K.E = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ .

From above we know that -

Kinetic energy at the bottom of the cliff = potential energy at a height h

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\ mgh$

⇒ $v^2=\ 2gh$

⇒ $h=\ \frac{v^2}{2g}$

⇒ $h=\ \frac{(24.2)^2}{2\times 9.8}$

⇒ $h=\ 29.88\ m$

Hence, the height of the cliff is 29.88 m

If the distance between the center of two objects is quadrupled. The gravitational

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

F' = F/16

Explanation:

The gravitational force between masses is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

If the distance between the center of two objects is quadrupled, r' = 4r

New force will be :

$F'=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r'^2}\\\\F'=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{(4r)^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{16r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{1}{16}\times \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{F}{16}$

So, the new force will change by a factor of 16.
