The density of a material is given by:
$d= \frac{m}{V}$
where
d is the density
m is the mass of the sample
V is its volume

In our problem, the material has a mass of m=2.75 g and a volume of $V=4 cm^3$ , so its density is:
$d= \frac{m}{V}= \frac{2.75 g}{4 cm^3}=0.69 g/cm^3=0.7 g/cm^3$

So, the correct answer is D).

The density of the material is $0.7 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Density of any material is defined as the amount of mass present in a specified volume. So density is directly proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the volume in which the mass is present.

So the density will be calculated as the ratio of mass to the volume. Thus as the mass of the unknown materials is given as 2.75 g present in a volume of $4 \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ , the density will be

$\text { Density }=\frac{\text {Mass}}{\text {Volume}}$

Thus,

$\text { Density }=\frac{2.75}{4}=0.7 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$

A horizontal force of 24 N is being applied to a box on a level surface. The box is accelerating at the rate of 2.0 against a fr

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

For SI units the mass m = 5 kg.

Explanation:

The sum of all horizontal forces is must be equal to maₓ:

∑Fₓ = maₓ = 24N - 14N = 10N

maₓ = 10N

m = 10N / aₓ = 10N / 2 m/s² = 5 m/s

If a proton and an electron are released when they are 2.50×10^-10m apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelerat

katrin [286]

To solve this exercise, we will first proceed to calculate the electric force given by the charge between the proton and the electron (it). From the Force we will use Newton's second law that will allow us to find the acceleration of objects. The Coulomb force between two charges is given as

$F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Here,

k = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge of proton and electron

r = Distance

Replacing we have that,

$F = (9*10^9)(\frac{(1.602*10^{-19})^2}{2.5*10^{-10}})$

$F = 3.6956*10^{-9}N$

The force between the electron and proton is calculated. From Newton's third law the force exerted by the electron on proton is same as the force exerted by the proton on electron.

The acceleration of the electron is given as

$a_e = \frac{F}{m_e}$

$a_e = \frac{3.6956*10^{-9}}{9.11*10^{-31}}$

$a_e = 4.0566*10^{21}m/s^2$

The acceleration of the proton is given as,

$a_p = \frac{F}{m_p}$

$a_p = \frac{3.6956*10^{-9}}{1.672*10^{-27}}$

$a_p = 2.21*10^{18}m/s^2$

Answer:

Obviously Lengthen... $T = 2\pi \sqrt{L/g}$ or $g = 4\pi ^{2} L/g$

Explanation:

As we can observe from the equation, time period of a simple pendulum depends upon the length directly. When the gravitational acceleration increases the time period of the pendulum decreases and vice versa. So, by increasing the length, the time period can be adjusted...
