Why must objects be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance?

1 answer:

5 0

Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.

If the density of an object is 5.2 g/cm3, and volume is 3.7 cm3, what is its mass

netineya [11]

Here's the equation you use: Density = mass/volume

1) 5.2g/cm^3 = m/3.7cm^3

2) m = 5.2g/cm^3 x 3.7cm^3

3) m = 19.24g

You can check the answer by plugging it in

19.24g/3.7cm^3
= 5.2g/cm^3

A thin Nichrome wire connected to an ammeter surrounds a region of time-varying magnetic flux, and the ammeter reads 13 amperes.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The current would be same in both situation.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current I = 13 A

Number of turns = 23

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf is

$\epsilon=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

For N = 1

$\epsilon=A\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

$i=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}$

Put the value of emf

$i=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}$

Now, if the number of turn is 22 , then induced emf would be

$\epsilon'=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

Then the current would be

$i'=\dfrac{\epsilon'}{NR}$

$i'=\dfrac{NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{NR}$

$i'=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}$

$i'=i$

Hence, The current would be same in both situation.

What separates the terrestrial planets from the jovian or gas planets in space?

Flura [38]

In our solar system, terrestrial planets are separated from the gas giants by the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between Mars and Jupiter where asteroids are located. Gas giants do not have a solid surface and possible a small rocky core. The gas giants are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The first four planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Luigi twirls a round piece of pizza dough overhead with a frequency of

viva [34]

The linear speed of the pepperoni is 0.628 m/s. Its direction is tangential to the circle.

We know that;

v = rω

r = radius of the piece = 10 cm or 0.1 m

ω = angular velocity

We have to convert 60 revolutions per minute to radians per second

1 rev/min = 0.10472 rad/s

60 revolutions per minute = 60 rev/min × 0.10472 rad/s/1 rev/min

= 6.28 rad/s

v = 0.1 m × 6.28 rad/s

v = 0.628 m/s

The direction of this velocity is tangential to the circle.
