The volume of a piece of metal of a mass 6 gram is 15cm3. What is the density of the metal piece?

Physics

Density = (mass) / (volume)

Density = (6 g) / (15 cm³)

Density = (6/15) (g/cm³)

<em>Density = 0.4 g/cm³</em>

This 'metal' has less than half the density of water, and it floats on water !  It cannot be of Earthly origin, and must have been dropped here by aliens.

Either that, or else the metal has been hammered and stretched and beaten out and shaped so that it has an artificially large volume ... something like the way sailing ships are made out of thick plates of steel.

Answer:

0.4 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The density of an object can be found using the following formula.

d= m/v

where m is the mass and v is the volume.

The mass of the metal is 6 grams and the volume is 15 centimeters^3

m=6 g

v= 15 cm^3

Substitute these into the formula.

d= 6 g/ 15 cm^3

Divide 6 g by 15 cm^3 (6/15=0.4)

d= 0.4 g/ cm^3

The density of the metal is 0.4 grams per cubic centimeter.

A negative charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface. Which of the following statements must be tru
elena-s [515]

Answer:

C) No work is required to move the negative charge from point A to point B.

Explanation:

An equipotential surface is defined as a surface connecting all the points at the same potential.

Therefore, when a charge moves along an equipotential surface, it moves between points at same potential.

The work done when moving a charge is given by

W=q\Delta V

where

q is the charge

\Delta V is the potential difference between the initial and final point of motion of the charge

However, the charge in this problem moves along an equipotential surface: this means that the potential does not change, so

\Delta V=0

And so, the work done is also zero.

6. Mr. Leppold jumps out of a plane with a parachute...before the chute opens,
polet [3.4K]

1) He has both potential and kinetic energy

2) Before the parachute opens, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

1)

The gravitational potential energy of a body is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is given by:

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the body above the ground

On the other hand, the kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion; it is given by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

v is the speed of the object

Here Mr. Leppold has both potential and kinetic energy before opening the parachute, because:

- It is moving at a certain speed, so v\neq 0, therefore he has kinetic energy

- He is at a certain height above the ground, h\neq 0, therefore he has potential energy

2)

The total mechanical energy of Mr.Leppold is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energy:

E=PE+KE

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of air resistance, this quantity remains constant.

During the fall, the height of Leppold decreases: this means that as h decreases, the potential energy decreases  too.

However, the total energy E must remain constant: therefore, this means that the kinetic energy KE must increase, and this occurs because the speed of Mr. Leppold increases as he falls.
