Why does the density of a substance remain the same for different amount of the substance

Physics
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
6 0

Think of it this way: 
-- Any time you have something that means (some number) PER UNIT,
it doesn't matter how many units there are on the table or in the bucket,
because that amount doesn't change the (number) PER UNIT.

-- If oranges cost $1 PER POUND, it doesn't matter how many pounds
you buy, the whole bagful is still $1 PER POUND.

-- If a certain salad dressing has 40 calories PER Tablespoon, it doesn't
matter whether you eat a drop of it or drink the whole jar.  You still get
40 calories PER Tablespoon.

-- Density means '(mass) PER unit of volume'.  Whether you have a tiny
chip of the substance or a whole truckload of it, there's still the same
amount of mass IN EACH unit of volume.

A hotel elevator ascends 200m with maximum speed of 5m/s. Its acceleration and deceleration both have a magnitude of 1.0m/s2. Pa
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

45 s .

Explanation:

The accelerator will first accelerate , then move with uniform velocity and at last it will decelerate to rest .

displacement s = ?

acceleration a = 1 m /s²

Final speed v = 5 m/s

initial speed u = 0

v² = u² + 2as

5² = 0 + 2 x 1 x s

s = 12.5  m

B)  Let time of acceleration or deceleration be t

v = u + a t

5 = 0 + 1 t

t = 5 s

Similarly displacement during deceleration = 12.5 m

Total distance during uniform motion = 200 - ( 12.5 + 12.5 ) =  175 m .

velocity of uniform motion = 5 m /s

time during which there was uniform velocity = 175 / 5 = 35 s

Total time = 5 + 35 + 5 = 45 s .

20.0 moles, 1840 g, of a nonvolatile solute, C 3H 8O 3 is added to a flask with an unknown amount of water and stirred. The solu
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

0.144 kg of water

Explanation:

From Raoult's law,

Mole fraction of solvent = vapor pressure of solution ÷ vapor pressure of solvent = 423 mmHg ÷ 528.8 mmHg = 0.8

Let the moles of solvent (water) be y

Moles of solute (C3H8O3) = 2 mole

Total moles of solution = moles of solvent + moles of solute = (y + 2) mol

Mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent/total moles of solution

0.8 = y/(y + 2)

y = 0.8(y + 2)

y = 0.8y + 1.6

y - 0.8y = 1.6

0.2y = 1.6

y = 1.6/0.2 = 8

Moles of solvent (water) = 8 mol

Mass of water = moles of water × MW = 8 mol × 18 g/mol = 144 g = 144/1000 = 0.144 kg

Tom [10]
To answer these questions just use the equations for potential energy using the mass and heights described. the potential energy at the prescribed heights = the initial kinetic energy required to reach that height.

Make sure you calculate the force of gravity on the surface using the radius of the planet.
