Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

a. The volume in the first measuring cylinder reads 70 $cm^3$ while that of the second reads 95 $cm^3$ . Hence;

V1 = 70 $cm^3$

V2 = 95 $cm^3$

b. An object will always displace its own volume in a liquid. Hence:

Volume V of the rock sample = V2 - V1

= 95 - 70 = 25 $cm^3$

c. Mass of A = 102 g

Volume of A = 25 $cm^3$

Density = mass/volume

Hence, density of A = 102/25 = 4.08 g/ $cm^3$

Who water rocket starts from rest and roses straight up with an acceleration of 5 m/s until it runs out of water 2.5 seconds lat

Kitty [74]

Answer:

23. 4375 m

Explanation:

There are two parts of the rocket's motion

1 ) accelerating (assume it goes upto h1 height )

using motion equations upwards

$s = ut+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} \\h_1=0+\frac{1}{2}*5*2.5^{2} \\=15.625 m$

Lets find the velocity after 2.5 seconds (V1)

V = U +at

V1 = 0 +5*2.5 = 12.5 m/s

2) motion under gravity (assume it goes upto h2 height )

now there no acceleration from the rocket. it is now subjected to the gravity

using motion equations upwards (assuming g= 10m/s² downwards)

V²= U² +2as

0 = 12.5²+2*(-10)*h2

h2 = 7.8125 m

maximum height = h1 + h2

= 15.625 + 7.8125

= 23. 4375 m

Say I have a series circuit with 20v and four 65 ohm resistors, what is the current in each resistor?

Komok [63]

Data:

$E = 20 V$
$R_{1} = 65\Omega$
$R_{2} = 65\Omega$
$R_{3} = 65\Omega$
$R_{4} = 65\Omega$

Now that we have all the values we need properly identified, simply calculate the equivalent total resistance of the circuit and the intensity of the total electric current using the Ohm's Law:

 $R_{T} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3} + R_{4}$
$R_{T} = 65 + 65 + 65+ 65$
$R_{T} = 260\Omega$

Like this:

$I_{T} = \frac{E}{ R_{T} }$

$I_{T} = \frac{20}{ 260 }$
$I_{T} = 0,076923076...$

$\boxed{\boxed{I_{T} \approx 0,07A}}$
Answer:
The intensity of the total electric current
 $\boxed{\boxed{I_{T} \approx 0,07A}}$

P.S:. Since the association is in series, the current of 0.07A is the same for all resistors.

1.) potential energy
2.)potential and kinetic
3.)The roller coaster car has the most kinetic energy at point X i know this because the car is moving and kinetic energy has the power to move or change things therefore point X is when the roller coaster car has the most energy.
4.)potential energy
5.)kinetic energy
6.) potential and kinetic energy

A compunds whose empirical formula is xf3 consists of 65% f by mass. what is the atomic mass of x

Reika [66]

Empirical formula of compound is XF3

Compound consist of 65% F

In 100g of compound there is 65 g of F

= 65 / 19 moles of Fluorine = 3.421 moles

So moles of X = 3.421 / 3 = 1.140 moles

And in 100 g X consist of 35 g

So the molar mass of X = 35 / 1.140 = 30.71 g = 31 approximately

And it is the mass of phosphorus

So the empirical formula for the compound is PX3

An electric vehicle starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 2.4 m/s2 in a straight line until it reaches a speed of 27 m/s

DENIUS [597]

A) use v=u+at for both

First section, v=27, u=0, a=2.4. You should get 11seconds.
Second section, v=0, u=27, a=-1.3. You should get 21seconds.
This means that the total time is 22seconds.

b) You can either use s=ut+0.5at^2 or v^2=u^2+2as. Personally, I would use the second one as you are not relying on your previous answer.

First section, v=27, u=0, a=2.4. You should get 152m.
Second section, v=0, u=27, a=-1.3. You should get 280m.
This makes your overall displacement 432m.
