Specific gravity = Density of an object/Density of water


Density = Mass/Volume


For the current scenario;


Density of halite = mass/(l*w*h) = 58.75/(3.18*3.06*2.79) = 58.75/27.148932 = 2.164 g/cm^3


Density of water ≈ 1000 kg/m^3 = 1 g/cm^3

Specific gravity = Density of an object/Density of water

Density = Mass/Volume

For the current scenario;

Density of halite = mass/(l*w*h) = 58.75/(3.18*3.06*2.79) = 58.75/27.148932 = 2.164 g/cm^3

Density of water ≈ 1000 kg/m^3 = 1 g/cm^3

Therefore,
Specific density of halite = 2.164 g/cm^3 / 1 g/cm^3 = 2.164

What amount of energy is needed for an electron to jump from n = 1 to n = 4?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

E=2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J

Explanation:

We need to find the energy for an electron to jump from n = 1 to n = 4.

The energy in transition from 1 state to another is given by :

E=\dfrac{-2.18\times 10^{-18}}{n^2}\ J

The difference in energy for n = 1 to n = 4 is:

E=-2.18\times 10^{-18}\times (\dfrac{1}{4^2}-1)\\\\E=2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J

So, the required energy is equal to 2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J.

A BMX bicycle rider takes off from a ramp at a point 2.4 m above the ground. The ramp is angled at 40 degrees from the horizonta
adoni [48]

Answer:

The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The position of the BMX is given by the position vector "r":

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

α = jumping angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

Please, see the attached graphic for a better understanding of the situation. At final time, when the bicycle reaches the ground, the vector position will be "r final" (see figure). The y-component of the vector "r final" is - 2.4 m (placing the origin of the frame of reference at the jumping point). With that information, we can use the equation of the y-component of the vector "r" (see above) to calculate the time of flight. With that time, we can then obtain the x-component (rx in the figure) of the vector "r final". Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-2.4 m = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 5.9 m/s · t · sin 40° + 2.4 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 1.2 s

Now, we can calculate the x-component of the vector "r final" that is the horizontal distance traveled by the bicycle:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0 m + 5.9 m/s · 1.2 s · cos 40°

x = 5.4 m

The BMX lands 5.4 m from the end of the ramp.

Have a nice day!

How long does it take decaying organisms to transform into fossil fuels?
taurus [48]

Answer:

Millions or hundreds of million of years

Explanation:

It takes a very long time for decaying substances to form fossil fuels. It takes around millions or hundreds of million of years for the transformation to occur. This explains why they aren’t renewable.

Decayed plant materials usually form coal while decayed animal materials form crude oil.

A weight of 1400 pounds is suspended from two cables as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the left cable? _________ po
juin [17]

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Law:

\to \theta= 180^{\circ}- 50^{\circ}- 25^{\circ}

      = 180^{\circ}- 75^{\circ}\\\\= 105^{\circ}

\to \frac{T_{L}}{\sin (90+50)}= \frac{T_{R}}{\sin (25+90)}=\frac{1400}{\sin (105)}

\to T_L=931.65 \ pounds \\\\ \to T_R=1313.59 \ pounds \\\\
