A rock has a specific gravity of 2.32 and a volume of 8.64 in3 how much does it weigh

lianna [129]

Answer: 3.21 N

$Specific\hspace{1mm} gravity = \frac {Density\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}substance}{Density\hspace{1mm} of \hspace{1mm}water}$

$\Rightarrow Density \hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}substance= 2.32\times 1000\hspace{1mm} kg/m^3 = 2320\hspace{1mm}kg/m^3\\ Mass =Density\times volume\\ \Rightarrow 2320 \hspace{1mm} kg/m^3\times 8.64 \hspace{1mm}in^3\times \frac {1.64\times10^{-5} m^3}{1\hspace{1mm}in^3}=0.328 kg$

For weight, we will multiply by $g=9.8 m/s^{-2}$

$weight= 0.328\times9.8=3.21\hspace{1mm}N$

Hence, the rock would weigh 3.21 N.

A skier is pulled by a towrope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 12 degrees with the horizontal. The rope moves

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

Work done by the rope 900 m/s.
Angle of inclination of the slope = $\theta\ =\ 12^o$
Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s
Length of the inclined surface = d = 8.0 m

part (a)

The rope is doing the work against the gravity on the skier to uplift up to the inclined surface. Therefore the work done by the rope is equal to the work done on the skier due to the gravity

$\therefore W_r\ =\ W_g\ =\ 900\ J$

In both cases the height attained by the skier is equal. and the work done by gravity does not depend upon the speed of the skier.

part (b)

Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

$Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 1.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 112.5\ Watt$

Part (c)

Initial speed of the skier = v = 2.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

$Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 2.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 225\ Watt$

Calculate the potential energy of a body of a mass 2kg held 4 meters above the ground if g=10m/s?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

16000

Explanation:

Mass(m)=2Kg (1kg= 1ooo g then 2 kg=2000 g)

Velocity(v)= 4 meter

Acceleration due to gravity (g)=10m/s

We know that,

P.E= 1/2 mv^2

or, 1/2 × 2ooo × 4^2

or, 1/2×2000 ×16

or, 2000×8

Therefore= 16000

for the same type of atom with 8 protons, 9 neutrons, and 10 electrons, what type of atom or ion is it

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

O²⁻

Explanation:

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 9

Number of electrons = 10

What type of atom or ion is it = ?

Solution:

Protons are the positively charged particle in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are negatively charged particles

For this atom, the number of protons helps to identify what specie it is; so this is an oxygen atom.

Now,

Charge = Number of protons - Number of electrons

Charge = 8 - 10 = -2

The charge on the atom is -2 and so it is an oxygen ion with -2 charge

The ion is O²⁻
