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.

Thermal Conductors don't have to be hot to transfer heat, explain a situation when a ice cube would still transfer heat to anoth

barxatty [35]

An ice cube would transfer heat to another object whose temperature
is lower than zero°C (32°F).

A block of "dry ice" is sitting there at a temperature of -78°C (-109°F).
An ice cube helps to melt dry ice nice and fast.

If you could find a block of solid nitrogen, its temperature would be
63K (-210°C, -346°F). An ice cube would transfer heat to that baby
so fast that it would instantly boil.

What are three ways to speed up a<br> reaction?

Ksju [112]

Explanation:

Increase the temperature in Endothermic reactions (Reactions that absorb energy, or become cold) Decrease the temperature in Exothermic reactions (Reactions that release energy, or become hot) Add a catalyst (A substance that reduces activation energy, speeding up the reaction) Increase the concentration of reactants.

An athlete in a gym applies a constant force of 50 N to the pedals of a bicycle to keep the rotation rate of the wheel at 10 rev

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Force applied to pedal F = 50N

Angular velocity ω = 10rev/s

We know that, 1rev = 2πrad

Then, ω = 10rev/s = 10×2π rad/s

ω = 20π rad/s

Length of pedal r = 30cm = 0.3m

Power?

Power is given as

P = τ×ω

We need to find the torque τ

τ = r × F

Since r is perpendicular to F

Then, τ = 0.3 × 50

τ = 15 Nm

Then,

P = τ×ω

P = 15 × 20π

P = 942.48 Watts

power delivered to the bicycle by the athlete is 942.48 W

A vertical cylindrical tank 10 ft in diameter, has an inflow line of 0.3 ft inside diameter and an outflow line of 0.4 ft inside

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

$\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}$ , level is rising.

Explanation:

Since liquid water is a incompresible fluid, density can be eliminated of the equation of Mass Conservation, which is simplified as follows:

$\dot V_{in} - \dot V_{out} = \frac{dV_{tank}}{dt}$

$\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in}-\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}= \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out} = D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}}{D_{tank}^{2}}$

By replacing all known variables:

$\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{(0.3 ft)^{2}\cdot (5 \frac{ft}{s} ) - (0.4 ft)^{2} \cdot (2 \frac{ft}{s} )}{(10 ft)^{2}}\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}$

The positive sign of the rate of change of the tank level indicates a rising behaviour.
