In pottery class, you throw a pot from a lump of wet clay. your pot's mass is 5.5 kg. after the pot is fired, it's mass is 4.9 k

g. the density of wet clay is 1.60 g/cm3 and the density of fired clay is 1.36 g/cm3. what was the volume of your pot before it was fired? what was the volume of the pot after it was fired? express your answer in significant digits.

We can calculate for the volume by taking the ratio of mass and density, that is:

volume = mass / density

A. when mass = 5.5 kg = 5500 g; density = 1.60 g/cm^3

volume = 5500 g / (1.60 g/cm^3)

volume = 3,437.5 cm^3

Taking the significant digits:

volume = 3,400 cm^3 = 3.4 L

B. when mass = 4.9 kg = 4900 g; density = 1.36 g/cm^3

volume = 4900 g / (1.36 g/cm^3)

volume = 3,602.94 cm^3

Taking the significant digits:

<span>volume = 3,600 cm^3 = 3.6 L</span>

Which of the following best describes a capacitor?

galben [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The capacitor is a component which has the ability to store energy in the form of an electrical charge making a potential difference on those two metal plates

A capacitor consists of two or more parallel conductive (metal) plates. They are electrically seperated by an insulating material (ex: air, mica,ceramic etc.) which is called as Dielectric Layer

Due to this insulating layer, DC current can not flow through the capacitor.But it allows a voltage to be present across the plates in the form of an electrical charge.

kompoz [17]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Define unit vectors along the x and y axes as respectively $\hat{i} \, and \, \hat{j}.$

Then the three successive displacements, written in component form, are respectively
$\vec{dN} = 1.0 \, \hat{j} \\
\vec{dW} = -0.6 \, \hat{i} \\ \vec{dS} = -0.2 \, \hat{j}$

The total displacement for the first leg of the trip is
$\vec{d} = \vec{dN} + \vec{dW} + \vec{dS} \\ \vec{d}= 1.0\hat{j}-0.6\hat{i}-0.2\hat{j} \\ \vec{d}=-0.6\hat{i}+0.8\hat{j}$

Answer:
$\vec{d} = -0.6\hat{i}+0.8\hat{j}$ or (-0.6, 0.8)

Consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/sm/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average rate

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

455165.278 m

Explanation:

P = Power = 3.7 W

v = Velocity = 10.7 m/s

Amount of fat = 4 g

1 gram of fat provides about 9.40 (food) Calories

Energy given by 4 g of fat

$E=4\times 9.4\times 4186\\\Rightarrow E=157393.6\ J$

Time required to burn the fat

$t=\dfrac{E}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{157393.6}{3.7}\\\Rightarrow t=42538.811\ s$

Distance traveled by the bird

$s=vt\\\Rightarrow s=10.7\times 42538.811\\\Rightarrow s=455165.2777\ m$

The bird will fly 455165.278 m

Complete Question

The complete Question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

The torque acting on the particle is $\tau = 48t \r k$

b

The magnitude of the angular momentum increases relative to the origin

Explanation:

From the equation we are told that

The position of the particle is $\= r = 4.0 t^2 \r i - (2.0 t - 6.0 t^2 ) \r j$

The mass of the particle is $m = 3.0 kg$

The time is t

The torque acting on the particle is mathematically represented as

$\tau = \frac{ d \r l }{dt}$

where $\r l$ is change in angular momentum which is mathematically represented as

$\r l = m (\r r \ \ X \ \ \r v)$

Where X mean cross- product

$\r v$ is the velocity which is mathematically represented as

$\r v = \frac{d \r r }{dt}$

Substituting for $\r r$

$\r v = \frac{d }{dt} [ 4 t^2 \r i - (2t + 6t^2 ) \r j]$

$\r v = 8t \r i - (2 + 12 t) \r j$

Now the cross product of $\r r \ and \ \r v$ is mathematically evaluated as

$\r r \ \ X \ \ \r v = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}{\r i}&{\r j}&{\r k}\\{4t^2}&{-2t -6t^2}&0\\{8t}&{-2 -12t}&0\end{array}\right]$

$= 0 \r i + 0 \r j + (- 8t^2 -48t^3 + 16t^2 + 48t^3 ) \r k$

$\r r \ \ X \ \ \r v = 8t^2 \r k$

So the angular momentum becomes

$\r l = m (8t^2 \r k)$

Substituting for m

$\r l = 3 * (8t^2 \r k)$

$\r l =24t^2 \r k$

Substituting into equation for torque

$\tau = \frac{d}{dt} [24t^2 \r k]$

$\tau = 48t \r k$

The magnitude of the angular momentum can be evaluated mathematically as

$|\r l| = \sqrt{(24 t^2) ^2}$

$|\r l| = 24 t^2$

From the is equation we see that the magnitude of the angular momentum is varies directly with square of the time so it would relative to the origin because at the origin t= 0s and we move out from origin t increases hence angular momentum increases also
