 Answer:  
__________________________________________________
            No;  the sample could not be aluminum;
since the density of aluminum, " 2.7 g/cm³ " , is NOT close enough to the density of the sample, " 3.04 g/cm³ " .
________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________
Density is expressed as "mass per unit volume" ;

  in which:
     "mass, "m", is expressed in units of "g" (grams);  and:
     "Volume, "V", is expressed in units of "cm³ " (such as in this problem); or                                                   in units of "mL" ;
__________________________________________________
            {Note the exact conversion:  " 1 cm³ = 1 mL " .}. 
__________________________________________________
  The formula for density:  D = m/V ;

Given:  The density of aluminum is:  2.7 g/cm³.

Given:  A sample has a mass of 52.0 g ; and Volume of 17.1 cm³ ; could it be aluminum?
_________________________________________________________
Let us divide the mass of the sample by the volume of the sample;
by using the formula:
___________________________________________
            D = m / V ;  

     and see if the value is at, or very close to "2.7 g/cm³ ".  

If it is, then it could be aluminum.
____________________________________________________
The density for the sample:

  D = (52.0 / 17.1)   g/cm³ = 3.0409356725146199 g/cm³ ;
                                              →round to "3 significant figures" ;
                                          = 3.04 g/cm³ .
_______________________________________________
No; the sample could not be aluminum; since the density of aluminum, 
   "2.7 g/cm³ "   is NOT close enough to the density of the sample,
                        "3.04 g/cm³ " .

If a bullet travels at 593.0 m/s, what is its speed in miles per hour?
Ksenya-84 [330]

We have 1 \; mile = 1609.34\; meters. So, 1 \; meter = \frac{1}{1609.34} \;mile.

1 \; hour = 3600 \; s. So 1 \; s = \frac{1}{3600}  \; hour.

Thus we can convert the units of the given quantity.

That is,

593\;m/s=593\;\frac{1/1609.34}{1/3600} \;miles/hour\\
593\;m/s=1,326.51\;miles/hour.

The quantity is converted to the required units.

A rigid, nonconducting tank with a volume of 4 m3 is divided into two unequal parts by a thin membrane. One side of the membrane
kondor19780726 [428]

The final temperature of the system will be equal to the initial temperature, and which is 373K. The work done by the system is 409.8R Joules.

To find the answer, we need to know about the thermodynamic processes.

<h3>How to find the final temperature of the gas?</h3>
  • Any processes which produce change in the thermodynamic coordinates of a system is called thermodynamic processes.
  • In the question, it is given that, the tank is rigid and non-conducting, thus, dQ=0.
  • The membrane is raptured without applying any external force, thus, dW=0.
  • We have the first law of thermodynamic expression as,

                                dU=dQ-dW

  • Here it is zero.

                                  dU=0,

  • As we know that,

                             dU=C_pdT=0\\\\thus,  dT=0\\\\or , T=constant\\\\i.e, T_1=T_2

  • Thus, the final temperature of the system will be equal to the initial temperature,

                          T_1=T_2=100^0C=373K

<h3>How much work is done?</h3>
  • We found that the process is isothermal,
  • Thus, the work done will be,

                               W=RT*ln(\frac{V_2}{V_1} )=373R*ln(\frac{4}{\frac{4}{3} })\\ \\W=409.8R J

Where, R is the universal gas constant.

<h3>What is a reversible process?</h3>
  • Any process which can be made to proceed in the reverse direction is called reversible process.
  • During which, the system passes through exactly the same states as in the direct process.

Thus, we can conclude that, the final temperature of the system will be equal to the initial temperature, and which is 373K. The work done by the system is 409.8R Joules.

What is the wavelength of a radio wave with a frequency of 2.00 x 10^4 Hz? (hint: what is the speed of all electromagnetic radia
patriot [66]

Answer: Option B

The wavelength for a radio wave with a frequency of  2 × 10⁴ Hz is

1.5 × 10⁴ m.

Explanation:

Wavelength is the measure of distance between two successive crests or troughs in a standing wave. Also wavelength can be measured as the ratio of velocity of light to frequency. It is like this because wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

Wavelength =\frac{c}{frequency}

As c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s and the frequency is 2 × 10⁴ Hz, then the wavelength will be

Wavelength =\frac{3*10^{8} }{2*10^{4} } =1.5*10^{4} m

So, the wavelength for a radio wave with a frequency of  2 × 10⁴ Hz is

1.5 × 10⁴ m.
