We are given volume of gasoline = 15.58 L and

Density = 0.74 g/mL.

Density is given in grams(g) per milliliter (mL). So, we need to convert given volume in mL also.

We know, 1 litre = 1000 milliliters

Therefore, 15.58 L = 15.58 * 1000 mL = 15580 mL

We could rewrite,

Volume of gasoline = 15580 mL.

Formula for density is..

Density (ρ)= $\frac{Mass}{ Volume}$

Plugging values in formula,

0.74 g/mL = $\frac{Mass}{15580 \ mL}$

Muliplying both sides by 15580.

$0.74 g/mL * 15580mL =\frac{Mass}{15580 \ mL} * 15580mL$

11529.2g = mass.

Therefore, 11529.2g grams does 15.58 L of gasoline weigh.

A very large sheet of insulating material has had an excess of electrons placed on it to a surface charge density of –3.00nC/m2

lys-0071 [83]

Answer: sheet of charge

Explanation:

a )

Since the charge is negative , potential will be negative near it . At a far point potential will be less negative. So potential will virtually increase on going away from the sheet . At infinity it will become almost zero. Electric field will be towards the plate , so potential will decrease towards the plate.

b ) The shape of equi -potential surface will be plane parallel to the sheet of charge because electric field will be perpendicular to the sheet of charge and almost uniform near the sheet of charge. The equi- potential surface is always perpendicular to electric field.

C ) Electric field which is almost uniform near the sheet of charge is equal t the following

E = σ / ε₀ where σ is charge density of surface and ε₀ is permittivity of medium whose value is 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

E = 3 x 10⁻⁹ / 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

= .3389 x 10³

= 338.9 V / m

spacing between 1 V

= 1 / 338.9 m

= 2.95 X 10⁻3 m

= 2.95 mm.

A sphere of volume 1.20×10−3m3 hangs from a cable. When the sphere is completely submerged in water, the tension in the cable is

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

B = 62.9 N

Explanation:

This is an exercise on Archimedes' principle, where the thrust force equals the weight of the liquid

B = ρ g V

write the equilibrium equation

T + B -W = 0

B = W- T (1)

use the density to write the weight

ρ = m / V

m = ρ V

W = ρ g V

substitute in 1

B = m g -T

B = $\rho_{body}$ g V - T

To finish the calculation, the density of the material must be known, suppose it is steel \rho_{body} = 7850 kg / m³

calculate

B = 7850 9.8 1.20 10⁻³ - 29.4

B = 92.3 - 29.4

B = 62.9 N

As a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit. the current flowing through a resistor isa) increasingb) decreasingc) constant

Montano1993 [528]

<h2>Answer: decreasing</h2>

An RC circuit is an electrical circuit composed of resistors and capacitors, where the charging time $T$ of the circuit is proportional to the magnitude of the electrical resistance $R$ and the capacity $C$ of the capacitor.
