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

1 answer:

8 0

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.

How does kinect energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at 6

mote1985 [20]

If it is the same vehicle, then the 60mph vehicle has more kinetic energy since it is moving faster. Therefore, it requires more energy to stop, and if it is the same car with the same beak system, the braking distance of the 30mph car will be significantly shorter than the 60mph car.

A fuel pump sends gasoline from a car's fuel tank to the engine at a rate of 5.64 10-2 kg/s. the density of the gasoline is 735

Irina18 [472]

Given:
Gasoline pumping rate, R = 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s
Density of gasoline, D = 735 kg/m³
Radius of fuel line, r = 3.43 x 10⁻³ m

Calculate the cross sectional area of the fuel line.
A = πr² = π(3.43 x 10⁻³ m)² = 3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Let v = speed of pumping the gasoline, m/s
Then the mass flow rate is
M = AvD = (3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²)*(v m/s)*(735 kg/m³) = 0.027166v kg/s

The gasoline pumping rate is given as 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s, therefore
0.027166v = 0.0564
v = 2.076 m/s

Answer: 2.076 m/s
The gasoline moves through the fuel line at 2.076 m/s.

Vector vector a has a magnitude of 29 units and points in the positive y-direction. when vector vector b is added to vector a ,

Nutka1998 [239]

Good morning.

We have:

$\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a} = 29\overset{\to}{j}}$

Where j is the unitary vector in the direction of the y-axis.

We have that

$\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a}+\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j}}$

We add the vector -a to both sides:

$\mathsf{\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -\overset{\to}{a} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -29\overset{\to}{j}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\overset{\to}{b}=-47\overset{\to}{j}}$

Therefore, the magnitude of b is 47 units.
