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.

Three observers watch a train pull away from a station toward the right of the platform. Observer A is in one of the train’s car

juin [17]

Observer A is moving inside the train

so here observer A will not be able to see the change in position of train as he is standing in the same reference frame

So here as per observer A the train will remain at rest and its not moving at all

Observer B is standing on the platform so here it is a stationary reference frame which is outside the moving body

So here observer B will see the actual motion of train which is moving in forward direction away from the platform

Observer C is inside other train which is moving in opposite direction on parallel track. So as per observer C the train is coming nearer to him at faster speed then the actual speed because they are moving in opposite direction

So the distance between them will decrease at faster rate

Now as per Newton's II law

F = ma

Now if train apply the brakes the net force on it will be opposite to its motion

So we can say

- F = ma

$a = \frac{-F}{m}$

so here acceleration negative will show that train will get slower and its distance with respect to us is now increasing with less rate

It is not affected by the gravity because the gravity will cause the weight of train and this weight is always counterbalanced by normal force on the train

So there is no effect on train motion

The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf. t/f

Svet_ta [14]

The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf is false. The kinetic energy on the shelf is zero because it is not in action.

What is a net force on an object that has a mass of 20.0 kg, an applied force of 100 n moving on a surface with a friction coeff

sergiy2304 [10]

The net force on the object as described is; 58.84N

Two forces acting on the object are;

The <em>applied force and the frictional force.</em>

In essence; the frictional force can be evaluated as;

Frictional force; = coefficient × Weight of object.

Frictional force = 0.21 × 20 × 9.8.

Frictional force = 41.16N

The Net force = Applied force - frictional force

Net force = 100 - 41.16N

Net Force = 58.84 N.

A photographer in a helicopter ascending vertically at a constant rate of accidentally drops a camera out the window when the he

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The time it takes for the camera to reach the ground is 5 s.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we will use the free fall cinematic equation.

Since the helicopter ascends with constant speed, the camera falls to the ground only by the effect of gravity on it.

The speed at which the helicopter ascends is not specified in the statement, but according to a similar problem, we will use 12.5 $\frac{m}{s}$ .

First, we must calculate the time and the maximum height at which the camera arrives after leaving the helicopter.

To calculate the maximum height to which it arrives, we will use the formula of vertical shot (since the camera leaves the helicopter with a speed upwards of 12,5 $\frac{m}{s}$ ).

$V_{f} ^{2}$ = $V_{0} ^{2}$ - 2 * g * h

Where:

$V_{f}$ : final speed at maximum height.

$V_{0}$ : initial speed when it falls from the helicopter.

g: gravity taken at 9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

h: height reached from 60 m when leaving the helicopter

as $V_{f}$ =0

0= $(12,5\frac{m}{s}) ^{2}$ - 2 * $9,8\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ * h

clear h:

h= $(12,5 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )^{2}$ / (2 * $9,8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$ )

h=7,97 m

Then we must calculate the time it takes to reach its maximum height:

$V_{f}$ = $V_{0}$ - g * t

t: time it takes to arrive from the moment it leaves the helicopter at its maximum height.

as $V_{f}$ =0

0=12.5 $\frac{m}{s}$ - 9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ * t

clearing t

t=12.5 $\frac{m}{s}$ / 9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

t=1.27 s.

Now we can calculate the time it takes to fall from the maximum height of 67.97 m.

The equation we will use is Y= $v_{0}*t+(\frac{g*t^{2} }{2} )$

where:

t: time it takes for the camera to fall.

Y: height from where the camera falls concerning the ground.

$v_{0}$ : initial speed of the camera at the time of starting the fall.

g: acceleration of gravity, estimated at 9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Step 1: As the helicopter ascends with constant speed, the initial speed of the camera at the moment of falling is 0.

$v_{0}$ =0

So the first term of our equation is nullified.

Step 2: To calculate the time it takes to fall, we clear "t" of the equation:

Y= $\frac{(g*t^{2})}{2}$

Y*2=(g* $t^{2}$ )

$\frac{Y*2}{g}$ = $t^{2}$

$\sqrt{\frac{Y*2}{g} }$ =t

Step 3: I replace the values with the incognites and get "t".

t= $\sqrt{\frac{67,97m*2}{9,8\frac{m}{s^{2} } } }$

t=3,73 s

The total time it takes for the camera to fall from the moment it leaves the helicopter is the sum of the time it takes to reach the maximum point of height and the time it takes to fall to the ground from that height.

t= 1,27 s + 3,73 s = 5 s

Have a nice day!
