The CEO, ellen misk, left her martian office but accidentally left a cylindricall can of coke (3.1 inches in diameter, 5.42 inch

es in height) on her desk. If the can exerts a pressure of 510 Pascals, what is the specific gravity of the can?

Answer:

Specific Gravity = 0.378

Explanation:

First, we will find the force exerted by the can on the table. This force will be equal to the weight of the can:

Pressure = Force/Area = Weight/Area

Weight = Pressure*Area

where,

Area = πdiameter²/4 = π[(3.1 in)(0.0254 m/1 in)]²/4 = 4.8 x 10⁻³ m²

Weight = (510 N/m²)(4.8 x 10⁻³ m²)

Weight = 2.48 N

Now, the weight is given as:

Weight = mg

2.48 N = m(9.8 m/s²)

m = (2.48 N)/(9.8 m/s²)

m = 0.25 kg

Now, we calculate volume of can:

Volume = (Area)(Height) = (4.8 x 10⁻³ m²)(5.42 in)(0.0254 m/1 in)

Volume = 6.6 x 10⁻⁴ m³

Hence, the density of can will be:

Density of Can = m/Volume = 0.25 kg/6.6 x 10⁻⁴ m³

Density of Can = 378.32 kg/m³

So, the specific gravity of Can will be:

Specific Gravity = Density of Can/Density of Water

Specific Gravity = (378.32 kg/m³)/(1000 kg/m³)

<u>Specific Gravity = 0.378</u>

An electron, moving south, enters a magnetic field of certain strength. Because of this field the electron curves upward. What i
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: The magnetic field points to the west.

Explanation:

If we take the plane as:

North = positive y-axis

East = positive x-axis.

We have that the electron is moving south, so the velocity of the electron can be written in vector form as:

V = (0, -v, 0)

Now, when the electron interacts with the magnetic field, the electron moves upwards.

We know that the interaction between an electron and a magnetic field is:

F = q*VxB

So we have that this force acts on the z-direction.

Now, to solve this we can use the righ hand rule.

First, we point wit our hand to the direction of the velocity (negative y-axis) now, we want that our thumb points up (the direction of the force) so the side where our palm faces is the direction of the field B.

But, remember that an electron has a negative charge, so the actual equation is:

F = -q*VxB

So the magnetic field actually points in the opposite direction of our palm, to the west.

Now, we can also solve it mathematically as:

F = (0, 0, f) = -q*(0, -v,0)x(a, b, c)

where B = (a, b, c) is the vector of the magnetic field.

     (0, 0, f) = -q*(-v*b -0, -0 + 0, 0 -(- a*v)) = -q*(-v*b, 0, a*v)

then we have that b must be equal to zero, and that:

f = -q*a*v

and f is positive, then we have:

a = -(f/q*v)

then the vector of the magnetic field is:

B = (-(f/q*v), 0, 0)

so it points in the negative x-axis, that is the West, as we found earlier.

If you are going 60 mph what is your speed in m per second
LenKa [72]

Answer:

1/60 mps

Explanation:

We would first have to divide 60 by 60 because there is 60mins per hour to get 1mpm. After that we would have to divide 1 by 60 because there are 60 secs in a min. So our final answer after doing 1/60 would be a fraction.

A. State whether the acceleration is positive, negative or zero for each section in the speed versus
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

a=positive

b=0

c=positive

d=negative

Explanation:

a=acceleration depends on the speed and time. if the speed and time are increasing at the same rate, the acceleration value will be positive as the vehicle is speeding up.

b=the speed and time are not increasing, therefore the vehicle is either stationary or travelling at a steady pace.

c=same explanation as a

d=the speed and time are not increasing at the same rate as the speed is decreasing. this means that the car is slowing down

In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot to one sid
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Net pull = 110 N to the left

Explanation:

Group the different pulls according to the direction (right or left)

2 pull 196 N each to the right

4 pull 98 N each to the left

5 pull 62 N each to the left

3 pull 150 N each to the right

1 pull 250 N to the left

Since positive direction is to the right, the pulls to the left will have a minus (-)

Net Force= 2(196)+4(-98)+5(-62)+3(150)+1(-250) \\Net Force = -110

The resulting force is negative, meaning the direction is to the left
