A chunk of paraffin (wax) has a mass of 50.4 grams and a volume of 57.9 cm3. What is the density of

1 answer:

6 0

$Formula\ for\ density:\\\\
p=\frac{m}{V}\\p-density,\\m-mass,\\V-volume\\\\
Data:\\
m=50,4grams\\
V=57,9cm^3\\\\
p=\frac{50,4g}{57,9cm^3}=0,87\frac{g}{cm^3}\\\\Density\ of\ paraffin\ is\ equal\ to\ 0,87\frac{g}{cm^3}.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

5.9*10^{-4}m

Explanation:

to find the uncertainty of the displacement it is necessary to compute the uncertainty for the angular frequency:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{0.40s}=15.707rad/s\\\\\frac{d \omega}{\omega}=\frac{dT}{T}\\\\d\omega=\omega \frac{dT}{T}=(15.707rad/s)\frac{0.020s}{0.40s}=0.785rad/s$

then, you can calculate the uncertainty in angular displacement:

$\theta=\omega t\\\\\frac{d\theta}{\theta}=\sqrt{(\frac{d\omega}{\omega})^2+(\frac{dt}{t})^2}\\\\d\theta=\theta\sqrt{(\frac{d\omega}{\omega})^2+(\frac{dt}{t})^2}=0.0422$

finally, by using:

$y=Acos(\omega t)\\\\dy=dAcos(\omega t)d(\omega t)=(dA)cos(\theta)d\theta=(0.002m)cos(0.785)(0.0422)\\\\dy=5.9*10^{-4}m$

Two sailboats leave a harbor in the bahamas at the same time. the first sails at 23 mph in a direction 330°. the second sails at

pishuonlain [190]

First, let us calculate the total distance that each have taken after 2 hours.

Let’s say that:

A = sailboat which sails at 23 mph in a direction 330°

B = sailboat which sails at 34 mph in a direction 190°

Calculating for distances:

dA = 23 mph (2 hours) = 46 miles

dB = 34 mph (2 hours) = 68 miles

Imagining a Cartesian coordinate, the angle θ between the two sailboats is simply the difference:

θ = 330° - 190°

θ = 140°

We know that from the law of cosines:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2 a*b*cos θ

Therefore the distance between the two after 2 hours, C, is:

C^2 = 46^2 + 68^2 – 2 (46) (68) cos(140)

<span>C = 107.39 miles</span>

How does electricity flow through a conductor?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Electricity works by getting a bunch of conductor elements together and creating a flow of electron-stealing patterns through them. This flow is called a current. Conductors need to be surrounded with insulators so the electrons can only go in one direction.
