Answer: 7022.2kg/m³, yes, I was cheated

Explanation:

Density of an object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume. Mathematically;

Density = Mass/Volume

Note that the unit of both mass and volume must be standard unit.

Given mass = 0.0158kg

Dimension of the metal = 5mm×15mm×30mm

Note that 1mm = 0.001m

The volume of the metal will be

0.005×0.015×0.03

= 0.00000225m³

Density = 0.0158/0.00000225

Average density of the metal = 7022.2kg/m³

Since the standard density of Gold is 19,320kg/m³ and is higher than the density prescribed for me, it shows the I was cheated.

All of the following are physical properties of hydrogen peroxide except it
tankabanditka [31]
The answer to this question is B, Reacts with sunlight.

The 2 main properties of substances are their physical properties and chemical properties. 
Physical properties are some observable/measurable characteristics, such as their color, mass, state, melting point, conductivity etc.

Meanwhile, for chemical properties, they're about how the substance reacts with other substances, such as metals react with acid to form hydrogen. And by the word "react", it means there's no way turn the reaction product back to the original substance without using chemical methods such as heating or electrolysis. 

Therefore, all the choices above are physical properties of hydrogen peroxide except for B, as it is the only choice that relates to the substance reacting to another substance.

28. Identify whether the following objects are in
Marianna [84]

Answer:

a. A baseball after it has been  hit - not in free fall

b. A rock that is thrown in the  air - not in free fall

c. The moon - free-fall

d. A paper airplane - not in free fall

e. A bird flying - not in free fall

Explanation:

  1. The free-fall is defined as the falling of an object due to the action of gravity. The object is not experiencing any other force neglecting the air resistance.
  2. If an object is in free-fall, the direction of its motion is directed towards the center of the earth. It does not have a horizontal component of velocity.
  3. If the body is under free-fall, but a centripetal force acts on it where it is equal to the gravitational force at that point. The object will have two components of velocity along the tangential line, perpendicular to the radius of the orbit.

a. A baseball after it has been  hit - not in free fall according to point 1 & 2.

b. A rock that is thrown in the  air - not in free fall according to point 1.

c. The moon - free-fall according to point 3.

d. A paper airplane - not in free fall according to point 1 & 2.

e. A bird flying - not in free fall according to point 1 & 2.

In a classroom demonstration, the pressure inside a soft drink can is suddenly reduced to essentially zero. Assuming the can to
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

3141N or 3.1 ×10³N to 2 significant figures. The can experiences this inward force on its outer surface.

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure acts on the outer surface of the can. In order to calculate this inward force we need to know the total surface area of the can available to the air outside the can. Since the can is a cylinder with a total surface area given by 2πrh + 2πr² =

A = 2πr(r + h)

Where h = height of the can = 12cm

r = radius of the can = 6.5cm/2 = 3.25cm

r = diameter /2

A = 2π×3.25 ×(3.25 + 12) = 311.4cm² = 311.4 ×10-⁴ = 0.031m²

Atmospheric pressure, P = 101325Pa = 101325 N/m²

F = P × A

F = 101325 ×0.031.

F = 3141N. Or 3.1 ×10³ N.
