Determine the approximate percent increase in waist size that occurs when a 155-lb person gains 40.0 lb of fat. Assume that the volume of the person can be modeled by a cylinder that is 4.0 ft tall. The average density of a human is about 1.0 g/cm^3, and the density of fat is 0.918 g/cm^3.
Suppose that radius RE and mass ME of the Earth is known.Using the known radius of the Earth and that g=9.80 m/s2 at the Earth’s surface, find the average density of the Earth.

You have been asked to find the mass of a piece of foam that will be used for flotation. Because the piece is too bulky to fit on your balance, you break it into two parts. You measure the mass of the first part as 128.3 0.3 g and the second part as 77.0 0.3 g. a. What are the maximum and minimum values for the total mass you might reasonably report? b. What is the best estimate for the total mass of the foam? Hint: Propagation of uncertainty is described in Appendix A.arrow_forwardReview. Assume a certain liquid, with density 1 230 kg/m3, exerts no friction force on spherical objects.

(b) Evaluate the magnitudes of the two forces that are exerted on the ball as it moves through the liquid. (c) Explain why the ball moves down only a limited distance into the liquid and calculate this distance. (d) With what speed will the ball pop up out of the liquid? (c) How does the time interval tdown, during which the ball moves from the surface down to its lowest point, compare with the lime interval tup for the return trip between the same two points? (f) What If? Now modify the model to suppose the liquid exerts a small friction force on the ball, opposite in direction to its motion. In this case, how do the time intervals tdown and tup compare? Explain your answer with a conceptual argument rather than a numerical calculation.arrow_forward
