Sam wants to get a refrigerator into a moving truck. He chooses to use a ramp to accomplish the task that is 25 meters long. If

the fridge weighs 250 N, what force will Sam need to use on the ramp to get the fridge into the 3 m high truck bed?

Answer:

Explanation:

Ignoring friction and assuming one ramp end rests on level ground.

gravity acceleration acting parallel to the ramp is gsinθ.

F = mgsinθ

mg = 250 N, sinθ = 3/25

F = 250(3/25)

F = 30 N

A 25 meter long ramp strong enough to hold a person plus a 250 N refrigerator would weigh much more than 250 N.

A foot player runs 1.6m/s and has a KE of 790 J. What is his mass?

Mariana [72]

The equation for kinetic energy is,

Ke = (1/2)mv^2.

You're given a kinetic energy of 790 joules, and a speed of 1.6 m/s. Plugging these values into the equation, we get,

790 = (1/2)(1.6)^2(m).

Solving for m, we get,

m = (790)/(0.5(1.6)^2).

I'll let you crunch out those numbers for yourself :D

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helps!

The British gold sovereign coin is an alloy of gold and copper having a total mass of 7.988 g, and is 22-karat gold 24 x (mass o

matrenka [14]

Answers:

(a) $0.0073kg$

(b) Volume gold: $3.79(10)^{-7}m^{3}$ , Volume cupper: $7.6(10)^{-8}m^{3}$

(c) $17633.554kg/m^{3}$

Explanation:

<h2>(a) Mass of gold </h2><h2 />

We are told the total mass $M$ of the coin, which is an alloy of gold and copper is:

$M=m_{gold}+m_{copper}=7.988g=0.007988kg$ (1)

Where $m_{gold}$ is the mass of gold and $m_{copper}$ is the mass of copper.

In addition we know it is a 22-karat gold and the relation between the number of karats $K$ and mass is:

$K=24\frac{m_{gold}}{M}$ (2)

Finding ${m_{gold}$ :

$m_{gold}=\frac{22}{24}M$ (3)

$m_{gold}=\frac{22}{24}(0.007988kg)$ (4)

$m_{gold}=0.0073kg$ (5) This is the mass of gold in the coin

<h2>(b) Volume of gold and cupper</h2><h2 />

The density $\rho$ of an object is given by:

$\rho=\frac{mass}{volume}$

If we want to find the volume, this expression changes to: $volume=\frac{mass}{\rho}$

For gold, its volume $V_{gold}$ will be a relation between its mass $m_{gold}$ (found in (5)) and its density $\rho_{gold}=19.30g/cm^{3}=19300kg/m^{3}$ :

$V_{gold}=\frac{m_{gold}}{\rho_{gold}}$ (6)

$V_{gold}=\frac{0.0073kg}{19300kg/m^{3}}$ (7)

$V_{gold}=3.79(10)^{-7}m^{3}$ (8) Volume of gold in the coin

For copper, its volume $V_{copper}$ will be a relation between its mass $m_{copper}$ and its density $\rho_{copper}=8.96g/cm^{3}=8960kg/m^{3}$ :

$V_{copper}=\frac{m_{copper}}{\rho_{copper}}$ (9)

The mass of copper can be found by isolating $m_{copper}$ from (1):

$M=m_{gold}+m_{copper}$

$m_{copper}=M-m_{gold}$ (10)

Knowing the mass of gold found in (5):

$m_{copper}=0.007988kg-0.0073kg=0.000688kg$ (11)

Now we can find the volume of copper:

$V_{copper}=\frac{0.000688kg}{8960kg/m^{3}}$ (12)

$V_{copper}=7.6(10)^{-8}m^{3}$ (13) Volume of copper in the coin

<h2>(c) Density of the sovereign coin</h2><h2 />

Remembering density is a relation between mass and volume, in the case of the coin the density $\rho_{coin$ will be a relation between its total mass $M$ and its total volume $V$ :

$\rho_{coin}=\frac{M}{V}$ (14)

Knowing the total volume of the coin is:

$V=V_{gold}+V_{copper}=3.79(10)^{-7}m^{3}+7.6(10)^{-8}m^{3}=4.53(10)^{-7}m^{3}$ (15)

$\rho_{coin}=\frac{0.007988kg}{4.53(10)^{-7}m^{3}}$ (16)

Finally:

$\rho_{coin}=17633.554kg/m^{3}}$ (17) This is the total density of the British sovereign coin

Jane starts from her house to take a stroll in her neighborhood. After walking for 2 hours at a steady pace, she has walked 4 mi

9966 [12]

Answer:

C. 2 mph

Explanation:

speed equals total distance covered in total time of of travel

since,

total distance = 4 miles

time taken = 2 hrs

speed = 4m / 2hrs =2mph
