The volumes of a sample of lead and a sample of platinum are the same: 2 cm3. The density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3 and the density

of platinum is 21.5 g/cm3.
Which is an accurate description of their relative masses?
A. The masses of the lead and platinum samples are the same.
B. The mass of the lead sample is greater than the mass of the platinum sample.
C. The mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample.

The answer is C. The mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample. As I explained in a previous answer, if they are the same volume, but one is heavier, then it must be more dense. In this particular example, the platinum is more dense than the lead, and therefore has more mass.

Answer:

The mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample (option C.)

Explanation:

Density is a magnitude that allows you to measure the amount of mass in a given volume of a substance. Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the ratio between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

d=\frac{m}{V}

From this expression it can be deduced that the density is inversely proportional to the volume: the smaller the volume occupied by a given mass, the greater the density.

The density of lead is 11.3 \frac{g}{cm^{3} } . Then it is possible to apply a rule of three as follows: if in 1 cm³ of lead there is 11.3 g of substance, in 2 cm³ how much mass is there?

mass=\frac{2cm^{3}*11.3 g }{1cm^{3} }

mass=22.6 g

The density of platinum is 21.5 \frac{g}{cm^{3} }. Then it is possible to apply a rule of three as follows: if in 1 cm³ of platinum there is 21.5 g of substance, in 2 cm³ how much mass is there?

mass=\frac{2cm^{3}*21.5 g }{1cm^{3} }

mass=43 g

Then, you can see that <u><em>the mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample (option C.)</em></u>

How does Newton's three laws of motion apply to the egg drop project
BabaBlast [244]
<span> Newtons First Law is applied on my egg experiment because it will not move or change it's acceleration until a force acts upon it. Newton's Second Law is applied because of the acceleration caused by natural forces as the egg is plummeting to the earth. And the amount of acceleration the egg has will be largely affected by the amount of force used to hurl the egg to the ground. The Third Law of Motion affects the egg because the amount of force the egg hits the ground with, the ground pushes back with equal and opposite force.</span>

A runner runs 10 miles in 1 hour. how far could they run in 2 hours in m/s?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

4.47 m/s.

Explanation:

distance traveled, d = 10 miles

time, t = 1 hour

Speed of the runner, v = d / t

Speed of the runner = 10 miles / 1

Speed of the runner = 10 mph

1 mph ----------------------- 0.44704 m/s

10 mph -----------------------?

= 4.47 m/s

Thus, in 2 hours the distance traveled will change but the speed it still 10 mph or 4.47 m/s.

Write an essay on the great wall of china​
Alona [7]
The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest architectural achievements ever recorded in history. The Great Wall translates to “long fortress.” The wall was made entirely by hand. It was built to protect the Chinese from intruders from different Nomadic Tribes. The wall is about 5,500 miles long. The wall did not stretch across all of China but it stretched from Shanhaiguan in the East to Lop Nur in the West. Some people say that you can even see the wall from the moon! Wouldn’t that be something to see? The wall is very old and has been around for about 2,000 years. Parts of the wall are missing from it decaying and crumbling. Despite parts of the wall missing it remains a popular attraction today and is one of the seven spectacular…show more content…
During the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) was when much most of the wall was added. The Mind dynasty suffered from their attackers the Dadan, Nuzhen, and Tufan tribes. The Ming court built a lot more walls in the north as an attempt to keep out the attacking tribes. They built the walls much more elaborate and durable than the Qin Dynasty. There were many walls, fortresses, and watch towers along the wall which made the country more successful. Even with all the new construction on the wall the Ming dynasty was defeated by the Oirats in the battle of Tumu in the year 1449. The Ming dynasty had failed to keep the Mongolian and Manchurian tribes under control and it had weakened the Ming Empire. After the Mings loss in this battle they built more walls to make them less vulnerable if they were attacked. Towards the end of the Ming dynasty the Great Wall helped a lot to defend them from the Manchu invaders. The Manchus got into Beijing through the Shanhaiguan gates and took over the city ending the rule of the Ming dynasty and starting the new rule of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty extended Chinas territory farther north beyond the Great Wall. The wall didn’t protect China’s border anymore so, construction on the wall stopped and soldiers abandoned their posts on the wall. The wall wasn’t used again after.
Today, the Great Wall is still standing in some parts but people fear that itthe Great Wall] demonstrates the manifestation of the wisdom and tenacity of the Chinese people.”(cortland.edu). China is considered one of the world’s oldest civilizations with the first dynasty beginning in 221 B.C.. A famous icon of this great civilization is the Great Wall of China, or known to the Chinese as Wan Li Chang Cheng. During the Warring States period, many feudal societies built their own sections for security. Eventually the walls were connected and there was a unified China. With The Great Wall of China is known as the largest construction project to be put in effect in all of world history. The wall, also known in China as "long wall of 10,000 li," is a collection of numerous short walls extending along the crest of hills on the southern edge of the Mongolian plain. Although it is a common misconception that the Great Wall of China is one long continuous wall, it 's structural inconsistency in no way undermines its greatness. The wall has been built, destructed,includes modules of ________ so you can see the construction of _____ Today I am going to be presenting the Great Wall of China and what political and military reasons it was built for. The construction was a feat of great magnitude and reflected the innovations and technological advancements of the Ancient Chinese.

The emperor was believed, by the people of China, to be the son of heaven, God-like
