In pottery class, you throw a pot from a lump of wet clay. your pot's mass is 5.5 kg. after the pot is fired, it's mass is 4.9 k

g. the density of wet clay is 1.60 g/cm3 and the density of fired clay is 1.36 g/cm3. what was the volume of your pot before it was fired? what was the volume of the pot after it was fired? express your answer in significant digits.

We can calculate for the volume by taking the ratio of mass and density, that is:

volume = mass / density

 

A. when mass = 5.5 kg = 5500 g; density = 1.60 g/cm^3

volume = 5500 g / (1.60 g/cm^3)

volume = 3,437.5 cm^3

Taking the significant digits:

volume = 3,400 cm^3 = 3.4 L

 

B. when mass = 4.9 kg = 4900 g; density = 1.36 g/cm^3

volume = 4900 g / (1.36 g/cm^3)

volume = 3,602.94 cm^3

Taking the significant digits:

<span>volume = 3,600 cm^3 = 3.6 L</span>

List the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength:(i) the gamma rays produced by a radioac
Naddik [55]

Answer:

In order of increasing wavelength, the answer is:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

(v) The red light of a light emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680kHz on the dial

Explanation:

First, you have to know that the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave traveling at a constant speed is given by:  

                                       λ = \frac{v}{f}

Where λ is the wavelength, v is the constant speed and f is the wave's frequency. In the case of electromagnetic radiation in free space, the constant speed is the speed of light.

From explained above, you can conclude that there is a proportionality relationship between the wavelength and the frequency, they are inversely proportional. That means: the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength and vice-versa.

So, you have the following types:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

Frequency : Typically greater than 10^{19} Hz

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

Frequency: 93.1 MHz

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680 kHz on the dial

Frequency: 680 kHz

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 508 - 526 THz

(v) The red light of a light-emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 400 - 484 THz

Then, you have to organize them from the highest frequency to the smallest one (decreasing frequency), and as the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength, you are going to have it organized in an increasing wavelength mode.

Then in order of increasing wavelength, the answer will be:

                                           (i) , (iv), (v), (ii), (iii)

A constant force of 12N is applied for 3.0s to a body initially at rest. The final velocity of the body is 6.0ms–1. What is the
sp2606 [1]
From the question,
u = 0m {s}^{ - 1}
v = 6m {s}^{ - 1}

t = 3s
F=12N



Using Impulse, the product of the constant force, F and time t equals the product of the mass of the body and change in velocity.

Ft =m(v-u)


12(3.0)=m(6.0- \: 0)
This implies that

36.0 = 6m
m =  \frac{36.0}{6.0}
\therefore \: m = 6.0kg


You can also use the equation of linear motion,
v = u + at
6 = 0 + a(3)
6 = 3a
a =  \frac{6}{3}

a = 2 {ms}^{ - 2}
But
F=ma
12 = m(2)
12 = 2m
\frac{12}{2}  = m
\therefore \: m = 6kg

What are the factors of evaporation and give explanation​
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Temperature and rate of evaporation are proportional to each other. Surface area: As the surface area increases, the rate of evaporation increases. The surface area and rate of evaporation are proportional to each other. Humidity: The rate of evaporation decreases with an increase in humidity.
