Which of the statements best describes density?

Physics

Vesnalui [34]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

a.The mass that a mole of substance has, measured in grams per mole. Density is not measure in moles, so this is not the correct answer.

b.The amount of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in moles per liter. The substance dissolved in a liquid must be measure in grams not in moles, so this answer is incorrect.

c.The mass of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in grams per milliliter. I think that this definition is correct but is incomple, so this answer is wrong.

d.The ratio of a substance's mass to its volume, measured in grams per milliliter and also equivalent to grams per cubic centimeter. This is the right description to density, so this is the correct answer.

On the sonometer shown below, a horizontal cord of length 5 m has a mass of 1.45 g. When the cord was plucked the wave produced

Korolek [52]

Answer:

(a) T = 0.015 N

(b) M = 1.53 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.53 g

Explanation:

(a) T = 0.015 N

First, we will find the speed of waves:

$v =f\lambda$

where,

v = speed of wave = ?

f = frequency = 120 Hz

λ = wavelength = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Therefore,

v = (120 Hz)(0.06 m)

v = 7.2 m/s

Now, we will find the linear mass density of the coil:

$\mu = \frac{m}{l}$

where,

μ = linear mass density = ?

m = mass = 1.45 g = 1.45 x 10⁻³ kg

l = length = 5 m

Thereforre,

$\mu = \frac{1.45\ x\ 10^{-3}\ kg}{5\ m}\\\\\mu = 2.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ kg/m$

Now, for the tension we use the formula:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}\\\\7.2\ m/s = \sqrt{\frac{T}{2.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ kg/m}}\\\\(51.84\ m^2/s^2)(2.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ kg/m) = T$

T = 0.015 N

(b)

The mass to be hung is:

$T = Mg\\\\M = \frac{T}{g}\\\\M = \frac{0.015\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\$

M = 1.53 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.53 g

Monochromatic light passes through a double slit, producing interference, the distance between the slit centres is 1.2 mm and th

Alik [6]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is $7200\ \AA$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the slit centers d= 1.2 mm

Distance between constructive fringes $\beta= 0.3\ cm$

Distance between fringe and screen D= 5 m

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of width

$\beta=\dfrac{D\lambda}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$0.3\times10^{-2}=\dfrac{5\times\lambda}{1.2\times10^{-3}}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{0.3\times10^{-2}\times1.2\times10^{-3}}{5}$

$\lambda=7.2\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=7200\ \AA$

Hence, The wavelength of the light is $7200\ \AA$ .

What are the characteristics of Earth’s lithosphere and how does the lithosphere play a role in plate tectonics?

pashok25 [27]

The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous
