Answer:

The density of the wood is

ρ₂ = 1.21 g / cm³

Explanation:

The block measures

V₁ = 10.0 cm * 4.0 cm * 2.0 cm

V₁ = 80 cm³

Now the block measures under the water getting just the face below as 1.65 cm

V₂ = 10.0 cm * 4.0 cm * 1.65 cm

V₂ = 66 cm³

So to determine the density knowing the mass are the same as the weight

ρ₁ * V₁ = ρ₂ * V₂

Using the density of the water as a

ρ₁ = 1 g / cm ³

1 g / cm³ * 80 cm ³ = ρ₂ * 66 cm³

ρ₂ = 1.21 g / cm³

Answer:

a) a = 1,865 m / s²  and  b)  t = 8.1 s

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law to find acceleration, we can work the equation in scalar form because displacement and force have the same direction

         F = m .a

         a = F / m

         a = 8.02 10² /4.3 10²

         a = 1,865 m / s²

b) We use kinematic relationships in one dimension

        vf = vo + at

        vf = 0 + a t

         t = vf / a

          t = 15.1 / 1.865

          t = 8.1 s

What is the final speed of a 60 kg boulder dropped from a 111 meter cliff
saveliy_v [14]

After rolling off the edge of the cliff and falling ' M ' meters down,
the speed of the boulder is

       Square root of ( 19.6 M ) .

If M=111 meters, then the speed is <em>46.64 meters per second</em>.

We have known for roughly 500 years that if there's no air resistance,
the mass of the falling object makes no difference, and all objects fall
with the same acceleration, speed, time to splat, etc.

How much heat is needed to warm 0.072kg of gold from 20 celsius and 90 celsius if the specific heat of gold 136 joules
dybincka [34]

Heat supplied to the gold will raise the temperature of the gold from 20 degree Celsius to 90 degree Celsius.

Mass of the gold (m) = 0.072 kg

Temperature change (ΔT) = 90 - 20 = 70 degree Celsius

Specific heat capacity of the gold (c) = 136 J/kg C

Heat supplied = m × c × ΔT

Heat supplied = 0.072 × 136 × 70

Heat supplied = 685.44 Joules

Hence, the heat supplied to the gold to raise the temperature from 20 degree Celsius to 90 degree Celsius = 685.44 Joules
