ou purchase a rectangular piece of metal that has dimen- sions 5.0 * 15.0 * 30.0 mm and mass 0.0158 kg. The seller tells you tha

t the metal is gold. To check this, you compute the average density of the piece. What value do you get? Were you cheated?

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.

How does approaching a temperature of absolute zero affect kinetic energy.?
Alexus [3.1K]

First of all the kinetic energy is when the particles move in continuous random motion.

If the temperature is high the colliding particles will collide more. and if the temperature is low the colliding particles will collide less.

Low temperature result in low kinetic energy 
High temperature result in high kinetic energy

Absolute zero is the point where where all molecules have no kinetic energy. It is a theoretical value (it has never been reached).

The Kelvin temperature scale is based on absolute zero being the lowest possible temperature that could theoretically be reached. That is why there is no such thing as a negative Kelvin temperature value.

Calculate the energy released by the electron-capture decay of 5727Co. Consider only the energy of the nuclei (ignore the energy
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

⁵⁷Co₂₇  + e⁻¹  =  ²⁷Fe₂₆

mass defect = 56.936296 + .00055 - 56.935399

= .001447 u

equivalent energy

= 931.5 x .001447 MeV

= 1.3479 MeV .

= 1.35 MeV

energy of gamma ray photons = .14  + .017

= .157 MeV .

Rest of the energy goes to neutrino .

energy going to neutrino .

= 1.35 - .157

= 1.193 MeV.

Find the acceleration of a car with the mass of 1,200 kg and a force of
Mashutka [201]

Answer:9.17 m/s^2

Explanation:

mass=1200kg

Force=11 x 10^3 N

Acceleration=force ➗ mass

Acceleration=11 x 10^3 ➗ 1200

Acceleration=9.17

Acceleration=9.17 m/s^2
