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.

A student is measuring the volumes of nectar produced by a flowering plant for an experiment. He measures nectar from 50 flowers
pantera1 [17]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A student is measuring the volumes of nectar produced by a flowering plant for an experiment. He measures nectar from 50 flowers using a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest millilitre (mL). Which statement describes a change that can help improve the results of his experiment?

A.) His measurements will be more precise if he takes measurements from an additional 100 flowers. B.) His measurements will be more accurate if he uses a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest tenth of a mL. C.) His measurements will be more precise if he uses a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest tenth of a mL. D.) His measurements will be more accurate if he takes measurements from an additional 100 flowers.

Answer:

His measurements will be more accurate if he uses a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest tenth of a mL.

Explanation:

In the measurements of volume using most graduated cylinders, the cylinders are calibrated to the nearest tenth owing to the uncertainty in the measurement of volume.

Hence if a cylinder has measures to the nearest milliliter(mL), then he can improve his experiment by using a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest tenth of a mL

A solid uniform sphere of mass 5 kg and radius 0.1 m rolls down an inclined plane without slipping. if the sphere's center of ma
ANTONII [103]

Since sphere is performing pure rolling motion

So here the contact point of sphere with respect to inclined plane is always at rest.

This contact point will not move at any instant and and hence sphere will perform pure rolling.

So here we can say that sphere will have some friction force at the contact point but there is no displacement of that point.

So the work done by this static friction will always ZERO.

W_{friction} = F.d

W_{friction} = 0

So there is no work done by friction on the sphere while it is in pure rolling.

Part B
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal.

An 12 N force is applied to a 1 kg object. What is the magnitude of the objects acceleration?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

a=12 m/s²

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force applied and takes place in the direction of force.

This can be summarized as: F=ma, where m is the mass of the object on which force F acts. a is the acceleration due to the force applied.

12N= 1kg×a

a=12N/1kg

a=12m/s²
