As mentioned before, our asteroid is in the shape of a sphere and has a mass of 1000 kilograms. Determine the density (in grams

per cubic centimeter) of this asteroid if its diameter is known to be 1.2 meters. Useful information: 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 m = 100 cm, volume of sphere = 4/3 ? r3. Remember that the radius of a sphere is equal to half its diameter. Show all of your work. (20 points)

Answer: 1.1052g/cm^{3}

Explanation:

Density D is a characteristic property of a material and is defined as the relationship between the mass m and volume V of a specific substance or material. So, the density of the asteroid is given by the following equation:

D=\frac{m}{V}   (1)

On the other hand, we know the asteroid has a mass m=1000kg and is spherical. This means its volume is given by the following formula:

V=\frac{4}{3}}\pi r^{3}   (2)

Where r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.2m}{2}=0.6m  is the radius of the sphere and is half its diameter d.

Knowing this, we can calculate the volume:

V=\frac{4}{3}}\pi (0.6m)^{3}   (3)

V=0.904m^{3}   (4)

Substituting (4) in (1):

D=\frac{1000kg}{0.904m^{3}}=1105.242\frac{kg}{m^{3}}   (5) This is the density of the asteroid, but we were asked to find it in \frac{g}{cm^{3}}. This means we have to make the conversion:

D=1105.242\frac{kg}{m^{3}}.\frac{1000g}{1kg}.\frac{1m^{3}}{(100cm)^{3}}

Finally:

D=1.1052\frac{g}{cm^{3}}

Svetach [21]

Answer:

The separation distance between the parallel planes of an atom is hc/2sinθ(EK - EL)

Explanation:

The relationship between energy and wavelength is expressed below:

E = hc/λ

λ = hc/EK - EL

Considering the condition of Bragg's law:

2dsinθ = mλ

For the first order Bragg's law of reflection:

2dsinθ = (1)λ

2dsinθ = hc/EK - EL

d = hc/2sinθ(EK - EL)

Where 'd' is the separation distance between the parallel planes of an atom, 'h' is the Planck's constant, 'c' is the velocity of light, θ is the angle of reflection, 'EK' is the energy of the K shell and 'EL' is the energy of the K shell.

Therefore, the separation distance between the parallel planes of an atom is hc/2sinθ(EK - EL)

Based on the data in the table...especially the provided melting points, which two substances are
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The two substances that are mostly likely examples of covalent bonding are Sucrose and Ethanol.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What is a covalent Bond?</h3>
  • A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of pairs of electron between atoms.

Examples of compounds with covalent bond include the following;

  • Distilled water
  • Sucrose
  • Ethanol

Olive oil is a mixture not a compound

Sodium Chloride & Potassium lodide are examples of ionic bond.

Thus, the two substances that are mostly likely examples of covalent bonding are Sucrose and Ethanol.

A mobile starts with a speed of 250m / s and begins to decelerate at a rate of 3m / s². How fast is it after 45s?
Korvikt [17]

\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \purple{Given}}}}}

  • Speed of the mobile = 250 m/s
  • It starts decelerating at a rate of 3 m/s²
  • Time travelled = 45s

\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \green{To \: find}}}}}

  • Velocity of mobile after 45 seconds

\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \red{ \bf{Now, \: What \: to \: do?}}}}}

We can solve the above question using the three equations of motion which are:-

  • v = u + at
  • s = ut + 1/2 at²
  • v² = u² + 2as

So, Here a is acceleration of the body, u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, t is the time taken and s is the displacement of the body.

\large{ \bf{ \underline{ \underline{ \orange{Solution:}}}}}

We are provided with,

  • u = 250 m/s
  • a = -3 m/s²
  • t = 45 s

By using 1st equation of motion,

⇛ v = u + at

⇛ v = 250 + (-3)45

⇛ v = 250 - 135 m/s

⇛ v = 115 m/s

✤ <u>Final</u><u> </u><u>velocity</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>mobile</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>1</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>/</u><u>s</u>
