Answer:
A. Repeat the experiment to be sure the results are valid.
Answer:
1.53m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of box = 3kg
Gravitational potential energy = 45J
Unknown
Height of the box = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem;
Gravitational potential energy = mgh
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height
45 = 3 x 9.8 x h
h = 1.53m
Density is given by:
D = M/V
D = density, M = mass, V = volume
Given values:
M = 3.7g, V = 4.6cm³
Plug in and solve for D:
D = 3.7/4.6
D = 0.80g/cm³
Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.
Explanation:
According to <u>Newton's third law of motion</u>, <em>when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.</em>
To understand it better:
Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.
So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.
Speed uses distance and velocity uses displacement in its calculation.
For 100 m race, distance = displacement. Hence speed = velocity
For 400m race, distance ≠ displacement. distance = 400m whereas displacement = 0m. Hence speed ≠ velocity
