Incomplete question as the unit of volume is not written correctly.So the complete question is here:

A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock that displaces 89.0 cm³?

Answer:

$d_{Density}=2.7g/cm^{3}$

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=240g

Volume V=89.0 cm³

To find

Density d

Solution

If rock displaces 89.0 cm³ of water means volume of rock is also 89cm³

So

$d_{Density}=\frac{mass}{volume}\\d_{Density}=\frac{240g}{89.0cm^{3} } \\d_{Density}=2.7g/cm^{3}$

Two point charges each carrying a charge of + 4.5 E - 6 C are located 4.5 meters away from each other. How strong is the electro

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

0.009 N, repulsive

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two electric charges is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we have

$q_1 =q_2 = +4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C$ are the two charges

r = 4.5 m is their separation

Substituting into the equation, we find

$F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(+4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)(4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)}{(4.5 m)^2}=0.009 N$

Moreover, the force is repulsive. In fact, the following rules apply:

- When two charges have same sign, they repel each other

- When two charges have opposite signs, they attract each other

One ring of radius a is uniformly charged with charge +Q and is placed so its axis is the x-axis. A second ring with charge –Q i

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The force exerted on an electron is $7.2\times10^{-18}\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge = 3 μC

Radius a=1 m

Distance = 5 m

We need to calculate the electric field at any point on the axis of a charged ring

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{kqx}{(a^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\hat{x}$

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kqx}{(a^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\hat{x}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{1}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times3\times10^{-6}\times5}{(1^2+5^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$E_{1}=1.0183\times10^{3}\ N/C$

Using formula of electric field again

$E_{2}=\dfrac{kqx}{(a^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\hat{x}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times(-3\times10^{-6})\times5}{((0.5)^2+5^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$E_{2}=-1.064\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the resultant electric field

Using formula of electric field

$E=E_{1}+E_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=1.0183\times10^{3}-1.064\times10^{3}$

$E=-0.045\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the force exerted on an electron

Using formula of electric field

$E = \dfrac{F}{q}$

$F=E\times q$

Put the value into the formula

$F=-0.045\times10^{3}\times(-1.6\times10^{-19})$

$F=7.2\times10^{-18}\ N$

Hence, The force exerted on an electron is $7.2\times10^{-18}\ N$

suppose you want to determine the surface area of this sugar cube. it has edges that are each 2 cm long. if you cut the cube in

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Half: 6 cm^2 Whole: 12 cm^2

Explanation:

First, we know that the edges of the cube are 2 cm long. So there are 6 faces on a cube. We do 2x6=12 cm^2 as our total surface area. Then it asks for each half. So you would divide it by 2 and get 6 cm^2 as your half.
