1. If a student needed to calculate the density of irregularly shaped metal beads give a brief explanation of the best way to do so with a graduated cylinder, water and a balance.2. Using the method described above, calculate the density of a quantity of copper beads. The initial volume of the graduated cylinder with water was 35 ml, the volume of the water plus the beads 40.7 ml and the mass of the beads 50.217 g. What is the density of the beads and what is the percent error.

See explanation

Explanation:

The density of an irregular object can be determined using a graduated cylinder, water and a balance as follows.

The irregularly shaped object is weighed in a balance and its mass is recorded. The graduated cylinder is then filled with a given volume of water. This volume of water is also recorded. The irregularly shaped object is then introduced into the graduated cylinder containing the water and the change in volume of the water is recorded.

Volume of the object= change in volume of the water

Density= mass/volume

b)

If the beads weigh 50.217 g

Volume of beads = change in volume of water= 40.7 ml - 35.0ml = 5.7 ml

Density= mass/volume = 50.217 g/5.7 ml = 8.81 g/ml

Accepted value of the density of copper in g/ml = 8.94 g/ml

% error in density = |8.81-8.94|/8.94 ×100

% error in density = 1.45%

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.
