A spring scale calibrated in kilograms is used to determine the density of a rock specimen. The reading on the spring scale is 0

.45 kg when the specimen is suspended in air and 0.36 kg when the specimen is fully submerged in water. If the density of water is 1000 kg/m3, the density of the rock specimen is_________.

Answer:

5000 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Here. we are asked to calculate the density of the rock specimen.

we proceed as follows;

mass of water displaced is calculated by finding the difference between the actual and apparent masses

This has a value of 0.45kg - 0.36kg = 0.09kg

The rock and water that is displaced have exactly the same volume and thus their densities is the same. This makes the ratio of their masses to be the same

Ratio of masses is

0.45 / 0.09 = 5.0

Here we can see that the mass of the rock is five times the mass of the water so it must be five times denser

Thus, since the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 , the density of rock is 5000 kg/m^3

What are the effects of overpopulation on a specific species in an ecosystem?
bagirrra123 [75]

Tere would be too many so there would be more fighting. Thye could overpopulate the world and destroy our stuff for example if it is a pig they can easily destory crops. We would all have to go hunting. There would also be less food so that is why they would start going out and destroying stuff.

-g With what tension must a rope with length 2.50 m and mass 0.120 kg be stretched for transverse waves of frequency 40.0 Hz to
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

43.2 N

Explanation:

\lambda = Wavelength = 0.75 m

f = Frequency = 40 Hz

m = Mass of string = 0.12 kg

L = Length of string = 2.5 m

\mu = Linear density = \dfrac{m}{L}

Velocity of wave is given by

v=\lambda f\\\Rightarrow v=0.75\times 40\\\Rightarrow v=30\ m/s

The tension in string is given by

T=v^2\mu\\\Rightarrow T=30^2\times \dfrac{0.12}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow T=43.2\ N

The tension in the string is 43.2 N
