Density = (mass) divided by (volume)

We know the mass (2.5 g).  We need to find the volume.

The penny is a very short cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder is (π · radius² · height).
The penny's radius is 1/2 of its diameter = 9.775 mm.
The 'height' of the cylinder is the penny's thickness = 1.55 mm.

Volume  =  (π) (9.775 mm)² (1.55 mm)

             =  (π) (95.55 mm²) (1.55 mm)

             =  (π) (148.1 mm³)

             =        465.3 mm³

We know the volume now.  So we could state the density of the penny,
but nobody will understand what we have.  Here it is:

         mass/volume = 2.5 g / 465.3 mm³  =  0.0054 g/mm³  .

Nobody every talks about density in units of ' gram/(millimeter)³ ' .
It's always ' gram / (centimeter)³ '.
So we have to convert our number for the volume.

                         (0.0054  g/mm³)  x  (10 mm / cm)³

                 =      (0.0054 x 1,000)  g/cm³

                 =          5.37  g/cm³  .

This isn't actually very close to what the US mint says for the density
of a penny, but it's in a much better ball park than 0.0054 was.

How do satellites stay in orbit?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:A satellite maintains its orbit by balancing two factors its velocity the speed it takes to travel in a straight line and the gravitational pull that Earth has on it. A satellite orbiting closer to the Earth requires more velocity to resist the stronger gravitational pull.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, that oscillate perpendicularly to each other and perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the wave (for such a reason, these waves are also called transverse waves).

Electromagnetic waves always travel in a vacuum at the same speed, called speed of light:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

and they are classified into 7 different types, according to their frequency. From lowest to highest frequency, we have:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Therefore, gamma rays, x-rays, visible light and radio waves are all types of electromagnetic waves with different frequencies.

The coulombic force between two ions is reduced to ______ of its original strength when the distance between them is quadrupled.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

<h3>1/16</h3>

Explanation:

According to the coulombs law, the force existing vetween the ions is expressed as;

F = kQq/r² .... 1

Q and q are the ions

r is the distance between the ions

If the distance between the ion is quadrupled, then;

F2 =  kQq/(4r)²

F2 =  kQq/16r² ... 2

Divide equation 2 by 1;

F2/F = kQq/16r² ÷ kQq/r²

F2/F = kQq/16r² × r²/kQq

F2/F = 1/16

F2 = 1/16 F

Therefore the coulombic force between two ions is reduced to<u> 1/16 </u>of its original strength when the distance between them is quadrupled.
