You would like to know whether silicon will float in mercury and you know that can determine this based on their densities. Unfo

rtunately, you have the density of mercury in units of kilogram-meter^3 and the density of silicon in other units: 2.33 gram-centimeter^3. You decide to convert the density of silicon into units of kilogram-meter^3 to perform the comparison.
By which combination of conversion factors will you multiply 2.33 gram-centimeter^3 to perform the unit conversion?

Answer:

Explanation:

To convert from gram / centimeter³ to kg / m³

gram / centimeter³

= 10⁻³ kg / centimeter³

= 10⁻³  / (10⁻²)³ kg / m³

= 10⁻³ / 10⁻⁶ kg / m³

= 10⁻³⁺⁶ kg / m³

= 10³ kg / m³

Thus, to convert the quantity in gm / cm³ into kg/m³, you need to multiply by 10³

2.33 gram / cm³

= 2.33 x 10³ kg / m³.

Find the lengths of each of the following vectors
serg [2593]

Answer:

Explanation:

The length of a vector refers to its magnitude.

For a vector

R = a•i + b•j + c•k

The magnitude can be calculated using

|R|= √(a²+b²+c²)

Applying this formula to each given vector yields the following results.

(a) 2i + 4j + 3k

The length is

L = √(2²+4²+3²)

L = √(4+16+9)

L = √29

L = 5.385 unit

(b) 5i − 2j + k

Note that k represents 1k

The length is

L = √(5²+(-2)²+1²)

Because, -×- = +

L = √(25+4+1)

L = √30

L = 5.477 unit

(c) 2i − k

As there is no j component, it means that the j component is 0

L = 2i + 0j - 1k

The length is

L = √(2²+0²+(-1)²)

L = √(4+0+1)

L = √5

L = 2.236 unit

(d) 5i

Similarly, without a j-component and k-component

L = 5i + 0j + 0k

The length is

L = √(5²+0²+0²)

L = √(25+0+0)

L = √25

L = 5 unit

(e) 3i − 2j − k

The length is

L = √(3²+(-2)²+(-1)²)

L = √(9+4+1)

L = √14

L = 3.742 unit

(f) i + j + k

The length is

L = √(1²+1²+1²)

L = √(1+1+1)

L = √3

L = 1.7321 unit

Un tren parte de la ciudad A, a las 8 h. con una velocidad de 50 km/h, para llegar a la ciudad B a las 10 h. Allí permanece dura
Keith_Richards [2248]

Response:

AB = 100 km; BC = 80 km; AC = 180 km

Time of arrival = 11:30

Reasoning:

1. Distance from A to B

(a) Duration of travel

Duration = 10:00 - 8:00 = 2.00 hours

(b) Distance

Distance = speed × time = 50 km/h × 2.00 h = 100 km

2. Distance from B to C

Distance = 80 km/h × 1 h = 80 km

3. Summary of Distances

AB = 100 km

BC = 80 km

AC = 180 km

4. Time of Arrival

Departure from A = 08:00

Travel duration to B = 2:00

Arrival at B = 10:00

Waiting time at B = 0:30

Departure from B = 10:30

Travel duration to C = 1:00

Arrival at C = 11:30

An air hockey game has a puck of mass 30 grams and a diameter of 100 mm. The air film under the puck is 0.1 mm thick. Calculate
inna [2205]

Answer:

the time it takes after impact for the puck is 2.18 seconds

Explanation:

initially given information

mass = 30 g = 0.03 kg

diameter = 100 mm = 0.1 m

thickness = 0.1 mm = 1 ×10^{-4} m

dynamic viscosity = 1.75 ×10^{-5} Ns/m²

temperature of air = 15°C

to determine

time needed for the puck to reduce its speed by 10%

solution

we note that velocity changes from 0 to v

assuming initial velocity = v

therefore final velocity = 0.9v

implying a change in velocity is du = v

and clearance dy = h

shear stress acting on the surface is expressed as

= µ \frac{du}{dy}

therefore

= µ \frac{v}{h}............1

substituting the values

= 1.75 ×10^{-5} × \frac{v}{10^{-4}}

= 0.175 v

the area between the air and puck is given by

Area = \frac{\pi }{4} d^{2}

area = \frac{\pi }{4} 0.1^{2}

area = 7.85 × \frac{v}{10^{-3}} m²

thus, the force on the puck can be represented as

Force = × area

force = 0.175 v × 7.85 × 10^{-3}

force = 1.374 × 10^{-3} v

now applying Newton's second law

force = mass × acceleration

- force = mass \frac{dv}{dt}

- 1.374 × 10^{-3} v = 0.03 \frac{0.9v - v }{t}

solving for t = \frac{0.1 v * 0.03}{1.37*10^{-3} v}

the time needed after impact for the puck is 2.18 seconds
