A 0.8 kg object displaces 500 mL of water. What is its specific gravity?

Physics

Airida [17]3 years ago

The specific gravity is how the density of the object compares to the density of water. Water's density is 1gram per milliliter. We just need to figure out the density of the object.

The object is .8 kg and it displaces 500mL of water, so the density is the mass divided by the volume. Since the density of water is given in grams, we have to convert the objects mass from kg to g and then we can get the density.

.8kg * 1000g/kg = 800 grams

So

800g/500ml = 1.6grams/mL this is the density.

So divide the density of your object by the density of water, which is 1g/mL, you get 1.6 as the specific gravity. This means the object is 1.6 times more dense than water.

The reasoning in the passage is : ( C ) The spots are the result of interference, which happens with waves but not particles

<h3>Light waves </h3>

Light passed through a slit and projected onto a screen will form a pattern which is very visible and the pattern might have dark spots if there is some form of interference. Interference is present in waves and not particles.

Hence we can conclude that the reasoning in the passage is The spots are the result of interference, which happens with waves but not particles

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.

Mathematically;

The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;

ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)

where λ is the wavelength of the light used

Let’s make L the subject of the formula

(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L

From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5

Plugging these values, we have

L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m
