Answer:

263.152kg

Explanation:

<em>The density of a substance is related to its mass and volume as follows;</em>

density = mass / volume      

mass = density x volume       -------------(i)

The substance in question here is <em>mercury </em>which has;

density = 13.56g/mL = 13.56g/cm³

Since the mercury is going to be put in the cylindrical glass, the volume of the cylindrical glass is going to be equal to the volume of the mercury that will be put.

And we know that the;

volume of a cylinder = πr²h

<em>Where;</em>

π = 3.142

r = bottom radius of the cylinder = 5.75inches

h = height of the cylinder = 0.950ft

<em>For uniformity, let's convert the radius and height of the cylinder to their corresponding values in cm</em>

r  = 5.75 inches = 5.75 x 2.54 cm = 14.605cm

h = 0.950 ft = 0.950 x 30.48 cm = 28.956cm

<em>Therefore, the volume of the cylinder;</em>

v = 3.142 x (14.605cm)² x 28.956cm = 19406.5cm³

v = 19406.5cm³ [This is also the volume of the mercury necessary to fit the cylinder]

<em>Now the following value has been found;</em>

volume = 19406.5cm³

<em>Substitute the values of density and volume into equation (i)  as follows;</em>

mass = 19406.5cm³ x 13.56g/cm³

mass = 263152.14g

<em>Convert the result to kg by dividing by 1000</em>

mass = 263.152kg

Therefore, 263.152kg kilograms of mercury would fit in the cylindrical glass.

Three point charges are located on the x-axis. The first charge, q1 = 10 μC, is at x = -1.0 m. The second charge, q2 = 20 μC, is
victus00 [196]

Answer:

<em>3.15 N towards the positive x-axis</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

first charge has charge q1 = 10 μC = 10 x 10^-6 C

second charge has charge q2 = 20 μC = 20 x 10^-6 C

third charge has charge q3 = -30 μC = -30 x 20^-6 C

According to coulomb's law, force between two charged particle is given as

F = \frac{-kQq}{r^2}

Where

F is the force between the charges

k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10^9 kg⋅m^3⋅s^−2⋅C^−2.

Q is the magnitude of one charge

q is the magnitude of the other charge

is the distance between these two charges

For the force on q2 due to q1,

distance r between them = 0 - (-1.0) = 1 m

F = \frac{-9*10^{9}*10*10^{-6}*20*10^{-6}}{1^2} = -1.8 N (the negative sign indicates a repulsion on q2 towards the positive  x-axis)

For the force on q2 due to q3,

distance between them = 2.0 - 0 = 2 m

F = \frac{-9*10^{9}*20*10^{-6}*(-30*10^{-6})}{2^2} = 1.35 N (the positive sign indicates an attraction on q2 towards the positive x-axis)

Resultant force on q2 = 1.8 N + 1.35 N = <em>3.15 N towards the positive x-axis</em>

You are an engineer in charge of designing a new generation of elevators for a prospective upgrade to the Empire State Building.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

22.505 seconds

Explanation:

V =19.8m/s

V = a*to

t1 = 19.8/3.3

= 6seconds

Distance travelled during acceleration

= 1/2 x 3.3 x 6²

= 59.4m

X_total = x1 + x2

X2 = 373-59.4

X2 = 313.6m

t2 = x2/v

= 313.6/19.8

= 16.505

Total = 16.505 + 6

= 22.505 seconds

the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor is 22.505 seconds.

cup of hot chocolate has a spoon in it. How does the heat move from the hot chocolate to the metal spoon handle?
serg [7]

The heat moves from the hot chocolate to the handle of the spoon by a process called thermal conduction.

It is the transfer of heat energy from one object to another when they are in contact with eachother.

Hope this answers your question.
