what equations can i use to find mass density of 2 samples that are identical? Volume is 2.2cm^3 and both samples are 26.5 cm away from center (radius).
A uniform density sheet of metal is cut into the shape of an isosceles triangle, which is oriented with the base at the bottom and a corner at the top. It has a base B = 49 cm, height H = 15 cm, and area mass density σ.
a) Consider a horizontal slice of the triangle that is a distance y from the top of the triangle and has a thickness dy. Write an equation for the area of this slice in terms of the distance y, and the base B and height H of the triangle.
b) Set up an integral to calculate the vertical center of mass of the triangle, assuming it will have the form C ∫ f(y) where C has all the constants in it and f(y) is a function of y. What is f(y)?
c)Integrate to find an equation for the location of the center of mass in the vertical direction. Use the coordinate system specified in the previous parts, with the origin at the top and positive downward.
d)Find the numeric value for the distance between the top of the triangle and the center of mass in cm.
Problem A.1: Interstellar Mission
You are on an interstellar mission from the Earth to the 8.7 light-years distant star Sirius. Your spaceship can travel with 70% the speed of light and has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 6 m at the front surface and a length of 25 m. You have to cross the interstellar medium with an approximated density of 1 hydrogen atom/m3.
(a) Calculate the time it takes your spaceship to reach Sirius.(b) Determine the mass of interstellar gas that collides with your spaceship during the mission.
Note: Use 1.673 × 10−27 kg as proton mass.
Problem A.2: Time Dilation
Because you are moving with an enormous speed, your mission from the previous problem A.1 will be influenced by the effects of time dilation described by special relativity: Your spaceship launches in June 2020 and returns back to Earth directly after arriving at Sirius.
(a) How many years will have passed from your perspective?(b) At which Earth date (year and month) will you…
