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 =   <u>  Mass </u>   =   <u>50g  </u>  = 12.5g/cm³<u>
</u>                  Volume       4cm³

A 750 Watt hairdryer is used for 15 minutes. Calculate the Kwhr used. Calculate the cost to use 15 min. every day for 1 year @ 8
Rufina [12.5K]
Part (a):
We know that:
1 kw = 1000 watt ..........> Therefore, to convert watt into kw, we will divide by 1000
1 hour = 60 min ..........> Therefore, to convert mins into hours, we will divide by 60
Based on the above, the conversion results for the two units together would be as follows:
1 watt minute is equivalent to <span>0.000017 kilowatt hours
</span>Now, for the given , we will simply use cross multiplication to do the conversion as follows:
1 watt minute..............> 0.000017 kilowatt hours
750*15 ................> ??
750*15 watt min = 0.19125 kilowatt hour

Part (b):
From part a, we have that the consumption is 0.19125 kilowatt hour per day. Assuming that the year is 365 days, we would have:
yearly consumption = 0.19125 * 365 = 69.80625 kilowatt hour
The cost is 8 cents/kilowatt hour
Therefore:
yearly cost = 69.80625 * 8 = 558.45 cents

Hope this helps :)

Why should a tennis player "swing through" when hitting a tennis ball?​
kondaur [170]

If a tennis player does not swing through, meaning they stop swinging the moment they make contact with the ball, they would lose the majority of their power. <em>The momentum that they had built up during the swing is lost the moment they stop swinging</em>, meaning that the ball is hit with a low amount of power.

<em>If the tennis player swings through the whole time they hit the ball, then they keep their momentum as they hit the ball.</em> There is a much higher power level when swinging through than if you were to stop your swing when you hit the ball.

Which gland controls the workings of other endocrine glands? Thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, or thymus
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer is pituitary gland.


In order to stimulate or inhibit the hormones produced by the endocrine glands, signals are sent to these endocrine glands by the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland.

Consider the following example. When a person is stressed in order to stimulate the production of cortisol, the anterior pituitary lobe will release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

Two blocks are sliding to the right across a horizontal surface, as the drawing shows. In Case A the mass of each block is 3.0 k
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to a free body diagram the forces in the horizontal direction on body 1 would be:

F₁ = a₁*m₁ = -N

and on body 2:

F₂ = a₂*m₂ = N - F

N: normal force between the two blocks

F: frictional force on block 2

Since the two blocks are moving together, they need to have the same acceleration:

a₁ = a₂

This gives two equations with two unknown. Solving for a and N gives:

a = - \frac{F}{m_1+m_2}

N = -am_1

case A:

|a| = 0.96 m/s²

|N| = 2.9 N

case B:

|a| = 0.644 m/s²

|N| = 3.86 N
