Compare the density, weight, mass, and volume of a pound of gold to a pound of iron on the surface of Earth.

Physics

Nitella [24]2 years ago

Answer:

Mass of gold = mass of iron

weight of gold = weight of iron

volume of gold is less than the volume of iron

Explanation:

mass of gold = 1 pound

mass of iron = 1 pound

Mass of both the metals is same.

Weight is equal to the product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity. As acceleration due to gravity is same for both the metals so the weight of both the metals is same.

As the density of iron is less than the density of gold and we know that the volume is defined as the ratio of mass to the density.

mass is same for both the metals, so the volume of iron is more than the density of gold.

Mass of gold = mass of iron

weight of gold = weight of iron

volume of gold is less than the volume of iron

You use a slingshot to launch a potato horizontally from the edge of a cliff with speed v0. The acceleration due to gravity is g
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

\displaystyle t=\frac{2v_o}{g}

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch</u>

When an object is launched horizontally at a speed vo, it describes a curved called parabola as the speed in the x-direction does not change and the speed in the y-direction increases with time because the gravity makes it return to the ground.

The vertical distance the object (potato) travels downwards is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

The horizontal distance is

x=v_ot

We need to find the time when both distances are equal, thus

\displaystyle \frac{gt^2}{2}=v_ot

Simplifying by t

\displaystyle \frac{gt}{2}=v_o

Solving for t

\displaystyle \boxed{t=\frac{2v_o}{g}}

A baseball pitcher throws a ball at 90.0 mi/h in the horizontal direction. How far does the ball fall vertically by the time it
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Vertical distance=  3.3803ft

Explanation:

First with the speed of the ball and the distance traveled horizontally we can determine the flight time to reach the plate:

Velocity= (90 mi/h) × (1 mile/5280ft) = 475200ft/h

Distance= Velocity × time⇒ time= 60.5ft / (475200ft/h) = 0.00012731h

time=  0.00012731h × (3600s/h)= 0.458316s

With this time we can determine the distance traveled vertically taking into account that its initial vertical velocity is zero and its acceleration is that of gravity, 9.81m/s²:

Vertical distance= (1/2) × 9.81 (m/s²) × (0.458316s)²=1.0303m

Vertical distance= 1.0303m × (1ft/0.3048m) = 3.3803ft

This is the vertical distance traveled by the ball from the time it is thrown by the pitcher until it reaches the plate, regardless of air resistance.

The wavelength of green light is 550 nm.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

(a) momentum of photon is 1.205 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

    velocity of electron is 1323.88 m/s

   momentum of the electron is 1.205 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

(b) momentum of photon is 1.506 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

  velocity of electron is 1654.85 m/s

  momentum of the electron is 1.506 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

(c) The momentum of the photon is equal to the momentum of the electron

Explanation:

(a)

wavelength of green light, λ = 550 nm

momentum of photon is given by;

p = \frac{h}{\lambda}\\\\ p = \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{550*10^{-9}}\\\\p = 1.205 *10^{-27} \ kg.m/s

velocity of electron is given by;

P = \frac{h}{\lambda} \\\\mv = \frac{h}{\lambda}\\\\v = \frac{h}{m \lambda}\\\\v =   \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{(9.1*10^{-31} )(550*10^{-9})}\\\\v = 1323.88 \ m/s

momentum of the electron is given by;

p = mv

p = (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) (1323.88)

p = 1.205 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

(b)

wavelength of red light, λ = 440 nm

momentum of photon is given by;

p = \frac{h}{\lambda}\\\\ p = \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{440*10^{-9}}\\\\p = 1.506 *10^{-27} \ kg.m/s

velocity of electron is given by;

v =   \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{(9.1*10^{-31} )(440*10^{-9})}\\\\v = 1654.85 \ m/s

momentum of the electron is given by;

p = mv

p =  (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) (1654.85)

p = 1.506 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

(c) The momentum of the photon is equal to the momentum of the electron.
