Answer:

the maximum mass that can hang without sinking is 2.93 kg

Explanation:

Given: details:

sphere diameter  d = 20 cm

so, radius r = 10 cm  = 0.10 m

density of the Styrofoam sphere D = 300 kg/m3

sphere volume  V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

                                                   =\frac{4}{3} \pi 0.10^3

                                                   =4.18*10^{-3} m^3

we know that

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

mass  M = Density * Volume

                                  = (300)(4.18*10^{-3} m3)

                                  =1.25 kg

mass of the water displace = volume *density  of water

                                                 = 4.18*10^{-3} m3 * 1000

                                                 = 4.18 kg

The difference between the mass of water and mass of styrofoam is the amount of mass that the sphere can support

=4.18 kg  -1.25 kg

= 2.93 kg

What is the density of a piece of quartz with a mass of 30g and a volume of 6cm^3
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf d= 5 \ g/cm^3}}

Explanation:

Density can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.

d=\frac{m}{v}

The mass of the quartz is 30 grams and the volume is 6 cubic centimeters.

m=30 \ g \\v= 6 \ cm^3

Substitute the values into the formula.

d=\frac{30 \ g}{6 \ cm^3}

Divide.

d= 5 \ g/cm^3

The density of this piece of quartz is 5 grams per cubic centimeter.

The function of a cell depends primarily on its ?
Schach [20]
<span>Organelles which are very important in giving nutrients. During cellular respiration, the food molecules such as glucose, are oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and trapped in ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) form for further us of cell’s activities. ATP’s are formed at mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouse. This type of organelle takes and breaks nutrients absorbed by the cell and creates energy afterward. The energy from ATP is then used by the body in kinetic activities like running & walking or involuntary activities like breathing, blood circulation, stimulus-responding, etc.</span>

A large solar panel on a spacecraft in Earth orbit produces 1.0 kW of power when the panel is turned toward the sun. What power
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

e*P_s = 11 W

Explanation:

Given:

- e*P = 1.0 KW

- r_s = 9.5*r_e

- e is the efficiency of the panels

Find:

What power would the solar cell produce if the spacecraft were in orbit around Saturn

Solution:

- We use the relation between the intensity I and distance of light:

                                  I_1 / I_2 = ( r_2 / r_1 ) ^2

- The intensity of sun light at Saturn's orbit can be expressed as:

                                  I_s = I_e * ( r_e / r_s ) ^2

                                  I_s = ( 1.0 KW / e*a) * ( 1 / 9.5 )^2

                                  I_s = 11 W / e*a

- We know that P = I*a, hence we have:

                                  P_s = I_s*a

                                  P_s = 11 W / e

Hence,                       e*P_s = 11 W

g Calculate the maximum wavelength of light that will cause the photoelectric effect for potassium. Potassium has work function
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m,  λ = 541.96 nm    this is green ligh

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was explained by Eintein assuming that the light was made up of particles called photons and these collided with the electrons taking them out of the material.

 

                     K = h f -Ф

where K is the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons, hf is the energy of the light quanta and fi is the work function of the material.

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

                   c = λ / f

                  f = c /λ

we substitute

                K = h c / λ - Φ

for the case that they ask us the kinetic energy of the electons is zero (K = 0)

                 h c / λ = Ф

                λ = h c / Ф

we calculate

                 λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸ / 3.67 10⁻¹⁸

                 λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m

let's take nm

                lam = 541.96 nm

this is green light
