A bar of gold is 5.0mm thick, 10.0cm long and 2.0cm wide. It has a mass of exactly 193.0g. What is the desity of gold?
Tanzania [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

19.3 g/cm³

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Density of a substance refers to the mass of the substance per unit volume.

Therefore, Density = Mass ÷ Volume

In this case, we are given;

Mass of the gold bar = 193.0 g

Dimensions of the Gold bar = 5.00 mm by 10.0 cm by 2.0 cm

We are required to get the density of the gold bar

Step 1: Volume of the gold bar

Volume is given by, Length × width × height

Volume =  0.50 cm × 10.0 cm × 2.0 cm

             = 10 cm³

Step 2: Density of the gold bar

Density = Mass ÷ volume

Density of the gold bar = 193.0 g ÷ 10 cm³

                                      = 19.3 g/cm³

Thus, the density of the gold bar is 19.3 g/cm³

7. Explain how excitatory and inhibitory actions of neurotransmitters are different.
Sauron [17]

In contrast to an inhibitory transmitter, an excitatory transmitter encourages the development of an electrical signal known as an action potential in the receiving neuron.

Depolarization is brought on by excitatory neurotransmitters (decrease in membrane potential). Hyperpolarization is brought on by inhibitory neurotransmitters (increase in membrane potential).

Neurotransmitters fall into two categories: excitatory and inhibitory. While inhibitory neurotransmitters work to stop an action potential, excitatory neurotransmitters function to activate receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and enhance the effects of the action potential.

While inhibitory neurons release neurotransmitters that prevent action potential firing, excitatory neurons release neurotransmitters that cause an action potential to occur in the postsynaptic neuron.

Let's know more about Excitatory & Inhibitory

You weigh two different objects on the same scale in the same location earth.the weighs are different.which must be different ab
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Their weights could be different.
Their volumes could be different. 
Their densities could be different.

The volume for an ounce of lead is much different than an ounce of aluminum.

the weight of a cubic meter of balsa wood is much different (and much lighter) than a cubic meter of water. That's why the ancients used balsa for their rafts.

PLEASE ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS I WILL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST IF IT IS CORRECT!!
seropon [69]

Answer:

1st Question: A

2nd Question: B

Explanation:

The 1st answer would be A because if a sample is at absolute zero then the sample is at its lowest temperature none of the molecules would be able to move, this is because lower temperature= lower kinetic energy.

The 2nd answer would be B because if a sample has more temperature it speeds up it has more temperature and more kinetic energy, meaning it would move faster because there is more temperature.
