Her average density is about 1070 kg/m³

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Buoyant Force formula as follows:

\boxed{ F = \rho g V}

<em>where:</em>

<em>F = buoyant force ( N )</em>

<em>ρ = density of  fluid ( kg/m³ )</em>

<em>g = gravitational acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>V = displaced body volume of liquid ( m³ )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

weight in air = w = 690 N

weight in underwater = w' = 48.0 N

density of water = ρ_w = 1000 kg/m³

<u>Asked:</u>

average density = ρ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly, we will calculate the volume of the athlete's body:</em>

w' = w - F

w' = w - \rho_w g V

\rho_w g V = w - w'

\boxed {V = ( w - w' ) \div ( \rho_w g )} <em>→ Equation 1</em>

\texttt{ }

<em>Next, we could calculate the average density of the athlete's body:</em>

\rho = m \div V

\rho = m \div [ ( w - w' ) \div ( \rho_w g ) ] <em>← Equation 1</em>

\rho = ( \rho_w m g) \div ( w - w' )

\rho = ( \rho_w w ) \div ( w - w' )

\rho = ( 1000 \times 690 ) \div ( 690 - 48.0 )

\boxed {\rho \approx 1.07 \times 10^3 \texttt{ kg/m}^3}

\texttt{ }

The difference in weight is due to the displacement of water (the buoyancy of water is acting on the athlete thus giving her smaller weight).<span>

The amount of weight displaced or the amount of buoyant force is: </span>

Fb = 690 N - 48 N

Fb = 642 N

From newtons law, F = m*g. Using this formula, we can calculate for the mass of water displaced:

m of water displaced = 642N / 9.8m/s^2

m of water displaced = 65.5 kg

Assuming a water density of 1 kg/L, and using the formula volume = mass/density:

V of water displaced = 65.5kg / 1kg/L = 65.5 L

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of athlete. Therefore:

V of athlete = 65.5 L

The mass of athlete can also be calculated using, F = m*g

m of athlete = 690 N/ 9.8m/s^2

m of athlete = 70.41 kg

 

Knowing the volume and mass of athlete, her average density is therefore:

average density = 70.41 kg / 65.5 L

<span>average density = 1.07 kg/L = 1.07 g/mL</span>

A solution is prepared by dissolving 49.3 g of KBr in enough water to form 473 mL of solution. Calculate the mass % of KBr in th
son4ous [18]

Answer:

9.31%

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of KBr=49.3 g

Volume of solution=473 mL

Density of solution =1.12g/mL

We have to find the mass% of KBr.

Mass =volume\times density

Using the formula

Mass of solution=1.12\times 473=529.76 g

Mass % of KBr=\frac{mass\;of\;KBr}{Total\;mass\;of\;solution}\times 100

Mass % of KBr=\frac{49.3}{529.76}\times 100

Mass % of KBr=9.31%

Hence, the mass% of KBr=9.31%

What mean by expansion effect of heat<br>​
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

-Cambio de temperatura

Al calentar un cuerpo la temperatura aumenta

Es el efecto más inmediato del calor, el aumento de la temperatura. Al calentar un cuerpo, es habitual, aunque no siempre, que el cuerpo aumente de temperatura. El aumento dependerá de la cantidad de calor que se suministra, del tipo de sustancia y de su cantidad.

-Dilatación

Cuando un objeto se calienta, su volumen aumenta. Este fenómeno se llama dilatación térmica. Por el contrario, cuando un objeto se enfría, su volumen disminuye, debido a la contracción térmica.

Cuando se calienta un cuerpo, además de cambiar de estado o variar su temperatura, también cambia su tamaño, se dilata.

Por ejemplo, los puentes no se construyen de una única pieza, sino que suelen presentar uno o varios cortes longitudinales, las llamadas juntas de dilatación. Si no existieran esas juntas, los cambios de longitud del puente entre el invierno y el verano o entre el día y la noche acabarían por romperlo.

La dilatación de un cuerpo dependerá del aumento de temperatura que experimente, de su tamaño y de la sustancia de que esté hecho. Cuanto más aumente la temperatura más aumentará su tamaño, lo mismo que cuanto mayor sea, mayor se hará.

Todos los cuerpos, ya sean sólidos, líquidos o gaseosos, varían su tamaño cuando intercambian calor con otro cuerpo.

-Cambios de estado:

Si una sustancia modifica el estado de sólido, líquido o gaseoso, se produce un cambio de estado. Un cambio de estado es una modificación en la forma en que se disponen las partículas que constituyen una sustancia.

El estado en que se encuentre un cuerpo depende de la presión a la que está sometido y de su temperatura. Para cambiar su estado se debe modificar alguna de estas variables, o ambas. Al elevar la temperatura de una sustancia sólida, aumenta la agitación de sus partículas.
