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>

A gas is compressed in a cylinder from a volume of 20.0 l to 2.0 l by a constant pressure of 10.0 atm. calculate the amount of w
jok3333 [9.3K]
First, we need to convert the pressure in SI units. Keeping in mind that 1 atm = 1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa:
p=10.0 atm =1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa

The initial and final volume of the gas are (keeping in mind that 1.0 L = 0.001 m^3):
V_i = 20.0 L=0.020 m^3
V_f = 2.0 L=0.002 m^3

So, the work done on the gas by the surrounding is
W= -p \Delta V=-p(V_f-V_i)=-(1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa)(0.002 m^3-0.020 m^3)=18180 J
And the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.

At what time of day would you be most likely to find that the air over water is significantly warmer than the air over land near
Brut [27]

This would happen later at night or early in the morning.

The reason being land becomes warm and cold quicker than the water because of the heat capacity. So during the day water warms up because of sunlight but at night the land becomes a lot cooler as compared to the water which is still war. So the air over water is significantly warmer than the air over land.

Calculate the percentage increase in speed of the cyclist when the power output changes from 200 W to 300 W.
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

<em>50%</em>

Explanation:

Given

Initial power = 200W

Final power = 300W

Increment = 300 - 200 = 100W

percentage increase = increment/initial power * 100

percentage increase = 100/200 * 100%

percentage increase = 0.5 * 100

percentage increase = 50%

<em>Hence the percentage increase in speed is 50%</em>

The x vector component of a displacement vector has a magnitude of 146 m and points along the negative x axis. The y vector comp
larisa86 [58]

Answer:  

a) the magnitude of r is  184.62

b) the direction is 37.74° south of the negative x-axis

   

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

as illustrated in the image blow;

To find the the magnitude of r, we will use the Pythagoras theorem

r² = y² + x²

r = √( y² + x²)

we substitute

r = √((-113)² + (-146)²)

r = √(12769 + 21316 )

r = √(34085 )

r = 184.62

Therefore, the magnitude of r is  184.62

To find its direction, we need to find ∅

from SOH CAH TOA

tan = opposite / adjacent

tan∅ = -113 / -146

tan∅ = 0.77397

∅ = tan⁻¹( 0.77397 )

∅ = 37.74°

Therefore, the direction is 37.74° south of the negative x-axis
