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>

Answer:

160 m

Explanation:

The intensity, I, of the sound is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, r, from the source.

I\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}

Hence,

I_1r_1^2 = I_2r_2^2

r_2 = r_1\sqrt{\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}}

From the question, I_2 is half of I_1

r_2 = r_1\sqrt{\dfrac{I_1}{0.5I_1}}

r_2 = r_1\sqrt{2}

r_2 = 113\text{ m}\sqrt{2} = 160 \text{ m}

Why is it important to be able to trace the pole connection on a meter back to the same type of pole at the electrical source?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

A grounded wire is sometimes strung along the tops of the towers to provide lightning protection.

In areas where the neutral is grounded or earthed, it is essential to endure that the neutral and the live or hot wires are not confused for each other.

When this happens, the fuses on the transformer will not operate unless the fault is very close to the transformer. The fuses in the consumer's intake box, will not operate.
