Gold, which has a density of, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long fiber. (a) If a sample of gold, with a mass of 27.63 g, is pressed into a leaf of 1.000 碌m thickness, what is the area of the leaf? (b) If, instead, the gold is drawn out into a cylindrical fiber of radius 2.500 碌m, what is the length of the fiber?
An old English cookbook carries this recipe for cream of nettle soup: 鈥淏oil stock of the following amount: 1 breakfastcup plus 1 teacup plus 6 tablespoons plus 1 dessertspoon. Using gloves, separate nettle tops until you have 0.5 quart; add the tops to the boiling stock. Add 1 tablespoon of cooked rice and 1 saltspoon of salt. Simmer for 15 min.鈥 The following table gives some of the conversions among old (premetric) British measures and among common (still premetric) U.S. measures. (These measures just scream for metrication.) For liquid measures, 1 British teaspoon = 1 U.S. teaspoon. For dry measures, 1 British teaspoon = 2 U.S. teaspoons and 1 British quart =1 U.S. quart. In U.S. measures, how much (a) stock, (b) nettle tops, (c) rice, and (d) salt are required in the recipe?
Old British Measures | U.S. Measures |
teaspoon = 2 saltspoons | tablespoon = 3 teaspoons |
dessertspoon = 2 teaspoons | half cup = 8 tablespoons |
tablespoon = 2 dessertspoons | cup = 2 half cups |
teacup = 8 tablespoons | |
breakfastcup = 2 teacups |
Iron has a density of, and the mass of an iron atom isrole="math" localid="1654573436593" . If the atoms are spherical and tightly packed, (a) what is the volume of an iron atom, and (b) what is the distance between the centers of adjacent atoms?
Two waves,
travel along a stretched string. (a) Plot the resultant wave as a function of tfor,is the wavelength. The graphs should extend from t = 0to a little over one period. (b) The resultant wave is the superposition of a standing wave and a traveling wave. In which direction does the traveling wave move? (c) How can you change the original waves so the resultant wave is the superposition of standing and traveling waves with the same amplitudes as before but with the traveling wave moving in the opposite direction? Next, use your graphs to find the place at which the oscillation amplitude is (d) maximum and (e) minimum. (f) How is the maximum amplitude related to the amplitudes of the original two waves? (g) How is the minimum amplitude related to the amplitudes of the original two waves?
A football player punts the football so that it will have a 鈥渉ang time鈥 (time of flight) of 4.5 sand land 46 maway. If the ball leaves the player鈥檚 foot 150 cm above the ground, what must be the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to the horizontal) of the ball鈥檚 initial velocity?
