A rectangular object was found to have a mass of 1.278 kg and density of 4.98  g/cm3. Suppose that you knew that the length was

47 mm and the width was 61 mm. Using this information, compute the height of the rectangle in cm.

Answer:

89.6 cm

Explanation:

From the question,

Volume of the rectangular object = Mass/Density.

V = m/D.................. Equation 1

Given: m = 1.278 kg, D = 4.98 g/cm³ = 4980 kg/m³

Substitute into equation 1

V = 1.278/4980

V = 2.57×10⁻⁴ m³.

But,

V = lwh............... Equation 2

Where l = length of the rectangular object, w = width of the rectangular object, h = height of the rectangular object.

make h the subject of the equation

h = V/lw........... Equation 3

Given: V = 2.57×10⁻⁴ m³, l = 0.047 m, w = 0.061 m.

Substitute into equation 3

h = 2.57×10⁻⁴/(0.047×0.061)

h = 0.896 m

h = 89.6 cm

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

0.0367

Explanation:

The loss in kinetic energy results into work done by friction.

Since kinetic energy is given by

KE=0.5mv^{2}

Work done by friction is given as

W= umgd

Where m is the mass of suitacase, v is velocity of the suitcase, g is acceleration due to gravity, d is perpendicular distance where force is applied and u is coefficient of kinetic friction.

Making u the subject of the formula then we deduce that

u=\frac {v^{2}}{2gd}

Substituting v with 1.2 m/s, d with 2m and taking g as 9.81 m/s2 then

u=\frac {1.2^{2}}{2*9.81*2}=0.0366972477064\approx 0.0367

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is approximately 0.0367

Consider an alcohol and a mercury thermometer that read exactly 0 oC at the ice point and 100 oC at the steam point. The distanc
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

No, both the thermometers will give the different reading.

Explanation:

Given,

  • Both thermometer has same ice point = T_i\ =\ 0^o C
  • Both thermometer has same steam point = T_s\ =\ 100^o C
  • Distance between the ice point and steam point in both the thermometer is same of 100 division,

All the data given in both the thermometers are same, but the material in the thermometer is different due to this the reading at 60^o C will differ in both the thermometer. Because the reading on both the thermometer is depended upon the thermal expansion of the material inside it, but both the materials are different. Due to this the rise of fluid in the thermometer, i,e,. the volume of the fluid material in the thermometer will depend upon the thermal expansion.  Hence both the material alcohol and mercury have the different thermal expansion, therefore the rise of the fluid in the thermometer also differ in both the thermometer.

ira [324]
At r = 2R> R The expression for the electric field will be given by: (2R)^2*E=kQ. Where, k=(9*10^9)N.m/C^2, Q=(8*10^-10)C and R=0.025m.  So substituting and clearing, we have that the magnitude of the electric field will be:  E=(9*10^9)*(8*10^-10)/((2*0.025)^2)=2880 N / C.

LekaFEV [45]
According to the second law of motion, force is the product of mass times acceleration. If we were to solve for the force, we would need the acceleration and the mass. 

Acceleration was not given in the problem, but we can solve for it by using the velocity and the time because by definition, acceleration is the change in velocity over time. 

a =  \frac{vf-vi}{t}

The initial velocity is 16.0m/s because it is the first recorded time. The final is 0 m/s or the last recorded velocity. The time we will use is 2.0 s because it is the time the change in velocity occurred. 

a = \frac{vf-vi}{t}
a = \frac{0m/s-16.0m/s}{2.0s}
a = \frac{-16.0m/s}{2.0s}
a=-8.0m/ s^{2}

Now that we have acceleration, we can now solve for the Force. Again Force is the product of mass and acceleration. 

F=ma
F=(0.25kg)(-8.0m/ s^{2} )
F=-2kg.m/ s^{2} ) or -2N

The force is -2N. Now if you are looking for the magnitude of the force then you can just put 2N.

The negative sign indicates the direction of the force, if it is negative this means that the force applied was in the opposite direction.
