How does adding more of a substance affect it's density?

I’m going to use molasses as an example of a substance.

The mass and volume both change when changing the amount of molasses.
However, the density does not change. This is because the mass and volume increase at the same rate/proportion!

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change).

The size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.

Adding more of a substance has no effect on its density. The formula for density is:

Density = (mass) divided by (volume).

If you doubled the volume of your sample of the substance, then you also doubled the mass of the sample. So when you divide (mass) by (volume), you still get the same number. The density doesn't change.

A mass on a horizontal surface is connected to the spring and pulled to the right along the surface stretching the spring by 25

solniwko [45]

Answer:

320 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we deduce that

F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring

Making k the subject of formula then

$k=\frac {F}{x}$

Conversion

1m equals to 100cm

Xm equals 25 cm

25/100=0.25 m

Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then

$k=\frac {80}{0.25}=320N/m$

Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses in the outer sec

GaryK [48]

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the carousel at the State Fair, Mary's and Alex's angular speed M and tangential speed vM is mathematically given as

Mary's and Alex's angular speed=1.43

Tangential speed mary=3.22 m/s

Tangential speed alex =2.260m/s

<h3>What is Mary's and Alex's angular speed M and tangential speed vM?</h3>

Generally, the equation for angular speed is mathematically given as

$w=2\pi /T\\\\Therefore\\\\w=2\pi/3.9$

w = 1.61 rev/see 3.9

Centripetal acc mary = v^2/r

Centripetal acc mary = w^2r

Centripetal acc mary = w^2x 2m

Centripetal acc. of Alex = w²x L.u

Therefore

$\frac{(ac) mary }{(ac) plex}= 1.43$

Hence

tang. speed V=Wr

tang. speed of mary = 1.61x2 = 3.22 m/s

tang. speed of Alex: 1.61X1·4 =2.260m/s

Equations to use: v= λ ∙ f v=d/t

Margarita [4]

b. 460.8 m/s

Explanation:

The relationship between the speed of the wave along the string, the length of the string and the frequency of the note is

$f=\frac{v}{2L}$

where v is the speed of the wave, L is the length of the string and f is the frequency. Re-arranging the equation and substituting the data of the problem (L=0.90 m and f=256 Hz), we can find v:

$v=2Lf=2(0.90 m)(256 Hz)=460.8 m/s$
