Answer:

Density of rock piece = 2.7 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of rock piece = 18 cm³

Mass of rock piece = 48.6 gram

Find:

Density of rock piece

Computation:

We know relation between density, mass and volume,

Density = Mass / Volume

Density of rock piece = Mass of rock / Volume of rock

Density of rock piece = 48.6 / 18

Density of rock piece = 2.7 g/cm³

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Minute hand length =16 cm

Time at a quarter after the hour to half past i.e. 1 hr 45 min

Angle covered by minute hand in 1 hr is 360 and in 45 minutes 270

$|r|=\frac{3\times 2\pi r}{4}=75.408 cm$

$Angle =270^{\circ}$

(c)For the next half hour

Effectively it has covered 2 revolution and a quarter

$|r|=\frac{2\pi r}{4}=25.136 cm$

angle turned $=90^{\circ}$

(f)Hour after that

After an hour it again comes back to its original position thus displacement is same =25.136

Angle turned will also be same i.e. $90 ^{\circ}$

A helicopter, starting from rest, accelerates straight up from the roof of a hospital. The lifting force does work in raising th

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

24,267.6 watts

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following:

mass (m) = 810 kg

final velocity (v) = 7 m/s

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

time (t) = 3.5 s

final height (h₁) = 8.2 m

initial height (h₀) = 0 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

find the power

power = \frac{work done}[time}

and

work done = change in kinetic energy (K.E) + change in potential energy (P.E)

work done = (0.5 mv^{2} - 0.5 mu^{2} ) + ( mgh₁ - mgh₀)

since u and h₀ are zero the work done now becomes

work done = (0.5 mv^{2}) + ( mgh₁ )

work done = (0.5 x 810 x 7^{2}) + ( 810 x 9.8 x 8.2)

work done = 84, 936.6 joules

recall that power = \frac{work done}[time}

power = \frac{84,936.6}[3.5}

power = 24,267.6 watts

Gretchen runs the first 4.0 km of a race at 5.0 m/s. Then a stiff wind comes up, so she runs the last 1.0 km at only 4.0 m/s.

KIM [24]

Answer:

The velocity is $v = 4.76 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first distance is $d_1 = 4.0 \ km = 4000 \ m$

The first speed is $v_1 = 5.0 \ m/s$

The second distance is $d_2 = 1.0 \ km = 1000 \ m$

The second speed is $v_2 = 4.0 \ m/s$

Generally the time taken for first distance is

$t_1 = \frac{d_1 }{v_1 }$

$t_1 = \frac{4000}{5}$

$t_1 = 800 \ s$

The time taken for second distance is

$t_1 = \frac{d_2 }{v_2 }$

$t_1 = \frac{1000}{4}$

$t_1 = 250 \ s$

The total time is mathematically represented as

$t = t_1 + t_2$

=> $t = 800 + 250$

=> $t = 1050 \ s$

Generally the constant velocity that would let her finish at the same time is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{d_1 + d_2}{t }$

=> $v = \frac{4000 + 1000}{1050 }$

=> $v = 4.76 \ m/s$

What voltage is required to move 6A through 20?<br><br>

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

120V

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Current = 6A

Resistance = 20Ω

Unknown:

Voltage = ?

Solution:

According to ohms law;

V = IR

Where V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

V = 6 x 20 = 120V
