Answer:
c) 8.3 x 10^24 molecules
Explanation:
First of all, we convert the volume of the glass of water from mL to :
The relationship between mass and volume is:
where
is the density of water
M is the total mass of the glass of water
is the volume of the water in the glass
Solving for M,
Now we know that the mass of a single molecule of water is
The total mass of the water in the glass can be written as
where
N is the number of molecules in the glass of water
Solving for N, we find:
Answer:
The coefficient of static friction is 0.29
Explanation:
Given that,
Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 4.4 m
The operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 7.7 s.
We need to find the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding. For this the centripetal force is balanced by the frictional force.
v is the speed of cat,
So, the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round is 0.29.
