Answer:

check the explanation

Explanation:

To find density you need mass and volume

to find mass use a digital balance and record it. Ex - 50g
to find the volume of the object
use a measuring cylinder and lets say you fill it up to 50cm³
then add the irregular object to the cylinder and record the new volume Ex - 54cm³
to find the volume of the object subract the final volume from the intial volume

54cm³-50cm³=4cm³

now that you have mass and volume use the equation D=M/V

Density = Mass = 50g = 12.5g/cm³
 Volume 4cm³

A capacitor with plates separated by a distance d is charged to a potential difference ΔVC. All wires and batteries are disconne

Tom [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial separation of plate = d

final separation = 2d

The capacitance of the capacitor will reduce from C to C/2 because

capacitance = ε A / d

d is distance between plates.

As the batteries are disconnected , charge on the capacitor becomes fixed .

Initial charge on the capacitor

= Capacitance x potential difference

Q = C ΔV

Final charge will remain unchanged

Final charge = C ΔV

Final capacitance = C/2

Final potential difference = charge / capacitance

= C ΔV / C/2

= 2 ΔV

Potential difference is doubled after the pates are further separated.

If the frog lands with a velocity equal to its average velocity and comes to a full stop 0.25s later, what is the frog’s average

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Average accelation = -4V

Explanation:

$a=\frac{V-V0}{t}$

V=0 m/s (because the frog stopped)

V0 = V (average velocity)

t= 0,25 s

So;

$a=\frac{V-V0}{t}=\frac{0-V}{0.25}=-4V$

1) Do liquids and gases also exert pressure?

Marta_Voda [28]

Explanation:

Liquids also exert pressure in all directions on the walls of the container they are stored in. We see water coming out from leaking pipes and taps. ... Gases (Air) also exert pressure in all directions

Calculate the average linear momentum of a particle described by the following wavefunctions: (a) eikx, (b) cos kx, (c) e−ax2 ,

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) p=0, b) p=0, c) p= ∞

Explanation:

In quantum mechanics the moment operator is given by

p = - i h’ d φ / dx

h’= h / 2π

We apply this equation to the given wave functions

a) φ = $e^{ikx}$

.d φ dx = i k $e^{ikx}$

We replace

p = h’ k $e^{ikx}$

i i = -1

The exponential is a sine and cosine function, so its measured value is zero, so the average moment is zero

p = 0

b) φ = cos kx

p = h’ k sen kx

The average sine function is zero,

p = 0

c) φ = $e^{-ax^{2} }$

d φ / dx = -a 2x $e^{-ax^{2} }$

.p = i a g ’2x $e^{-ax^{2} }$

The average moment is

p = (p₂ + p₁) / 2

p = i a h ’(-∞ + ∞)

p = ∞
