A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the

wood in air and the lead weight submerged in water is 0.0765 kg. The apparent mass with the wood and the lead weight both submerged in water is 0.0452 kg. What is the specific gravity of the wood

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56

what did classical physics predict about electron flow as a result of light shining on a metal surface?
stiv31 [10]
This looks like the photo electric effect ... classical physics reckoned that if you shone an intense enough light beam on a metal you could get electrons ejected from the metal (maybe in analogy to thermionic emission - heat). It sort of "forgot" about the frequency and photon/particle nature of light.
Enter the "photo electric" effect experiment, Einstein's explanation, and the Nobel committee having an excuse to award E a Nobel prize, even though said prize was probably more for relativity.

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy.
laiz [17]
This is very good conceptual question and can clear your doubts regarding work-energy theorem.
Whenever force is perpendicular to the direction of the motion, work done by that force is zero.
According to work-energy theorem,
Work done by all the force = change in kinetic energy.

here, work done = 0.
Therefore, 
0=change in kinetic energy
This means kinetic energy remains constant.
Hope this helps

The speed of sound in air changes with the temperature. When the temperature T is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the speed S of sound is
dezoksy [38]

Answer and Explanation:

A. We have temperature t = 32

Speed of sound, s = 1087.5

As t increases by 1⁰f speed increases by 1.2

So that

S = 1088.6

T= 33⁰f

We have 2 equations

1087.5 = k(32) + c

1088.6 = k(33) + c

Subtracting both equations

(33-32)k = 1088.6-1087.5

K = 1.1

b.). S = kT + c

1087.5 = 32(1.1) + c

Such that

C = 1052.3

Therefore

S = 1.1(t) + 1052.3

C.). S = 1.1t + 1052.3

We make t subject of the formula

T = s/1.1 - 1052.3/1.1

T = 0.90(s) - 956.3

D. This means that We have temperature to rise by 0.90 whenever speed is increased

While ice skating, you unintentionally crash into a person. Your mass is 60 kg, and you are traveling east at 8.0 m/s with respe
kaheart [24]

Answer:

6.18 m/s

Explanation:

Roller skate collision

The final direction of the system (me=M + person=P) velocity vector is at an angle; Ф, to the direction running south to north. Apply the component form of the impulse-momentum equation, firstly;

x-axis component form (+x east);

P_{Miy} + p_{Piy} + j_{y}= P_{Mfy} +P_{pfy}

m_{Mu_{Miy}+ m_{pu_{piy}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} sinФ

60 ·8 + 0 = (60 + 80)V_{f}sinФ

480 = 140V_{f} sinФ................. (I)

y-axis component form (+y north);

P_{Mix} + p_{Pix} + j_{x} = P_{Mfx}+ P_{pfx}

m_{Mu_{Mix}+ m_{pu_{pix}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} cosФ

0 + 80.9 = (60 + 80)V_{f}cosФ

 720= 140V_{f}cosФ

140Vf=\frac{720}{cos}Ф......................................(2)

 Substituting (2) into (1) to give the angle;

 480 = 720tan Ф

Ф = arctan(0.67) =33.69°.......................(3)

Evaluating (1) with (3) gives the velocity magnitude

480 = 140Vfsin 33.69°

Vf=6.18 m/s

note 1:

This angle corresponds to a direction; 90° - 33.69° = 56.31° north of east.

What makes some collisions elastic and others inelastic?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
A perfect elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed into another form of energy in the collision. Well hope this answers your question :)
