A student measures the mass 8cm3 block of brown sugar to be 12.9g. what is the density of the brown sugar

Answer:

$1.6\ g/cm^{3}$

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume of an object expressed as $\rho=\frac {m}{v}$ where $\rho$ is the density, m is the mass of sugar and v is the volume of the sugar. Considering that the volume is given as 8cm3 for sugar then we substitute this for v and mass of 12.9 g we substitute for g then the density will be

$\rho=\frac {12.9 g}{8 cm3}=1.6125\ g/cm^{3}\approx 1.6\ g/cm^{3}$

1. a) Name 2 properties of waves that change if the wave changes media.

Drupady [299]

1.) The properties of a wave are the following.
a) Amplitude - the height of the wave, measured in meters.
b) Wavelength - the distance between adjacent crests, measured in meters.
c) Period - the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point, measured in seconds.
d) Frequency - the number of complete waves that pass a point in one second, measured in inverse seconds, or Hertz (Hz).
e) Speed - the horizontal speed of a point on a wave as it propagates, measured in meters / second.

Among these properties, PERIOD and SPEED changes if the wave changes media. The others remain the same.

2. Speed = Wavelength * Frequency
Wavelength and Frequency are independent from each other. But you can use the given formula and assume values to check the reaction of one from another.

3. Energy of a wave is based on its amplitude. High amplitude means high energy and vice versa. To increase the energy of a wave, the amplitude must be increased. Another way of increasing the energy of a wave is using elastic medium.

TRUE OR FALSE The time period of a simple pendulum does not depend upon mass, but depends, but depends on the size of the bob, b

Dimas [21]

Time period depends on the length of the pendulum and the force of gravity.

<h3>On what things time period depends?</h3>

The time period of a simple pendulum does not depend on mass and material of the bob. It depends on the length of the pendulum and the force of gravity because more length of the pendulum leads to more time to complete one cycle.

So we can conclude that time period depends on the length of the pendulum and the force of gravity.

A block of mass 5.6 kg is attached to a horizontal spring on a rough floor. Initially the spring is compressed 3.5 cm. The sprin

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The velocity of block = 0.188 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Mass m = 5.6 kg

k = 1040 $\frac{N}{m}$

$\mu$ = 0.26

$x_{1} =$ 0.035 m , $v_{1}$ = 0

$x_{2} =$ 0.02 m

From work energy theorem

$K_{1} + U_{1} + W_{other} = K_{2} + U_{2}$ --------- (1)

Kinetic energy

$K = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$ ------- (1)

Potential energy

$U = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$ ------- (2)

Work done

W = F.s ------ (3)

From Newton's second law

$R_{N}$ = mg

$R_{N}$ = 5.6 × 9.81 = 54.9 N

Friction force = 0.4 × 54.9 = 21.9 N

Now the work done by the friction

$W_{f}$ = - 21.9 × 0.015

$W_{f}$ = - 0.329 J

Now kinetic energy

At point 1

$K_{1} = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} _{1}$

$K_{1} = 0$

$U_{1} = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$

$U_{1} = \frac{1}{2} (1040) 0.035^{2}$

$U_{1} =$ 0.637 J

At point 2

$K_{2} = \frac{1}{2} (5.6) v^{2} _{2}$

$K_{2} = 2.8 v_{2} ^{2}$

Potential energy

$U_{2} = \frac{1}{2} k x_2^{2}$

$U_{2} = \frac{1}{2} (1040) 0.02^{2}$

$U_{2} = 0.208$ J

From equation (1) we get

0 + 0.637 - 0.329 = 2.8 $v_{2} ^{2}$ + 0.208

2.8 $v_{2} ^{2}$ = 0.1

$v_{2} =$ 0.188 $\frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of block.

Differences between fundamental and derived quantities

monitta

Answer:

Fundamental quantities are quantities that were created to measure a object/substance which are the basis on which derived quantities are formed, where as derived quantities are created by extracting variables from the fundamental quantities.
