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.

While performing an experiment, the student creating the data table is not sure if a measurement from the experiment is a vector
marin [14]

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand both scalar and vector .

A scalar quantity is a physical quantity which has only magnitude for it's complete specification.

A vector quantity is that physical quantity which not only requires magnitude but also possesses direction for it's complete specification.

So the most important factor that differentiate vector from scalar is the direction.

As per the question the student is doing an experiment where he is recording the data obtained during the process.

In order to arrange them in data table, he should ask about the direction of the quantity under consideration.


Hence the correct option is the third option(C)i.e does the measurement include direction?

Explain how work is related to energy
Dahasolnce [82]

Work is closely related to energy. The work-energy principle states that an increase in the kinetic energy of a rigid body is caused by an equal amount of positive work.


So they are both closely related to each other.
