Answer:

In space we feel weightlessness because the earth's gravity has less effect on us. The Earth's gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earth's surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the shuttle's orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.

A large piece of jewelry has a mass of 132.6 g. a graduated cylinder initially contains 48.6 ml water. when the jewelry is subme

Lerok [7]

The density of the substance is 10.5 g/cm³.

The jewelry is made out of Silver.

Density ρ is defined as the ratio of mass m of the substance to its volume V. The cylinder contains a volume V₁ of water and when the jewelry is immersed in it, the total volume of water and the jewelry is found to be V₂.

The volume V of the jewelry is given by,

$V=V_2 -V_1$

Substitute 48.6 ml for V₁ and 61.2 ml for V₂.

$V=V_2 -V_1\\ =61.2 ml -48.6 ml\\ =12.6 ml$

calculate the density ρ of the jewelry using the expression,

$\rho =\frac{m}{V}$

Substitute 132.6 g for m and 12.6 ml for V.

$\rho =\frac{m}{V}\\ =\frac{132.6 g}{12.6 ml} \\ =10.5 g/ml$

Since $1 ml=1 cm^3$ ,

The density of the jewelry is 10.5 g/cm³.

From standard tables, it can be seen that the substance used to make the jewelry is silver, which has a density 10.5 g/cm³.

The approximate speed of sound is about 761 mph or 335.28 meters/second.

<h3>What's the approximate speed of sound?</h3>

If we consider the normal atmosphere at sea level, the speed of sound is about 761 mph or 335.28 meters/second. The speed of sound is different in different mediums such as solid and liquid.

So we can conclude that the approximate speed of sound is about 761 mph or 335.28 meters/second.

A car of 1000 kg with good tires on a dry road can decelerate (slow down) at a steady rate of about 5.0 m/s2 when braking. If a

vredina [299]

(a) 4.0 s

The acceleration of the car is given by

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

For this car, we have

v = 0 (the final speed is zero since the car comes to a stop)

u = 20 m/s is the initial velocity

$a=-5.0 m/s^2$ is the deceleration of the car

Solving the equation for t, we find the time needed to stop the car:

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-(20 m/s)}{-5.0 m/s^2}=4 s$

(b) 40 m

The stopping distance of the car can be calculated by using the equation

$v^2 - u^2 = 2ad$

where

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 20 m/s is the initial velocity

a = -5.0 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the car

d is the stopping distance

Solving the equation for d, we find

$d=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0^2-(20 m/s)^2}{2(-5.0 m/s^2)}=40 m$

(c) $-5.0 m/s^2$

The deceleration is given by the problem, and its value is $-5.0 m/s^2$ .

(d) 5000 N

The net force applied on the car is given by

$F=ma$

where

m is the mass of the car

a is the magnitude of the acceleration

For this car, we have

m = 1000 kg is the mass

$a=5.0 m/s^2$ is the magnitude of the acceleration

Solving the formula, we find

$F=(1000 kg)(5.0 m/s^2)=5000 N$

(e) $2.0\cdot 10^5 J$

The work done by the force applied by the car is

$W=Fd$

where

F is the force applied

d is the total distance covered

Here we have

F = 5000 N

d = 40 m (stopping distance)

So, the work done is

$W=(5000 N)(40 m)=2.0\cdot 10^5 J$

(f) The kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy

Explanation:

when the breaks are applied, the wheels stop rotating. The car slows down, as a result of the frictional forces between the brakes and the tires and between the tires and the road. Due to the presence of these frictional forces, the kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy/heat, until the kinetic energy of the car becomes zero (this occurs when the car comes to a stop, when v = 0).
