NONE of the choices is a correct answer.

Density is (mass) DIVIDED BY (volume).

The volume of the black cube is

2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cm^3

It's density is 48/8 = 6 gm/cm^3

The volume of the yellow cube is

3 x 3 x 3 = 27 cm^3

Its density is 135/27 = 5 gm/cm^3

The black one is denser because the RATIO of its mass to its volume is greater.

The cubes are made of different substances.

The density only depends on the substance. It doesn't matter HOW MUCH of the substance there is. It's the RATIO that counts.

The black one would be denser even if one cube or the other was the size of a supertanker.

The bearing of a lighthouse from a ship was found to be N 37 degrees E. After the ship sailed 2.5 miles due south, the new beari
ella [17]

Answer:

The distance between the lighthouse and the ship

from the start position A = 5.08 miles

from the Final point B = 7.23 miles

Explanation:

Note: Refer the figure

Let the position of the lighthouse be 'L'  

Given:

When the ship is at the position A, ∠DAL=37°

Now, when the ship sails through a distance of 2.5 i.e at position B

mathematically,

AB=2.5 miles

∠ABL=25°

Now,

∠DAL + ∠LAB = 180°

or

37° +  ∠LAB = 180°

or

∠LAB = 180° - 37° = 143°

Also, In ΔLAB

∠LAB + ∠ABL + ∠ALB = 180°

or

143° + 25° + ∠ALB = 180°

or

∠ALB = 180° - 143° - 25° = 12°

Now using the concept of the sin law

In ΔLAB

\frac{AL}{sin25^o}=\frac{2.5}{sin12^o}

or

AL = 5.08 miles

and,

\frac{BL}{sin143^o}=\frac{2.5}{sin12^o}

or

BL = 7.23 miles

hence,

The distance between the lighthouse and the ship

from the start position A = 5.08 miles

from the Final point B = 7.23 miles

Two long, straight wires, one above the other, are separated by a distance 2a and are parallel to the x-axis. Let the be in the
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

field B = µ₀c I / 2πr

The field in the xy plane due to the fact that the two wires are perpendicular to the plane Bx and By are everywhere 0 on the plane.

a) Midway between, the Bz components cancel, so <0, 0, 0> T

b) Bz = µ₀ x I / 2πa + µ₀ x I / 2π(3a) = (µ₀ x I / 2π)(1/a + 1/3a)

Bz = (µ₀ x I / 2πr)(3/3a + 1/3a) = (µ₀x I / 2πr)(4 / 3a) = 2µ₀ x I / 3πa

c) By symmetry, Bz = -2µ₀ x I / 3πa (that is, down into the plane)

A bus is moving forward at 20 m/s. A student on the bus throws a tenis ball horizontally at
seraphim [82]

Answer:

D: 35 m/s

Explanation:

The bus is moving at a speed of 20 m/s.

Thus; v_bus = 20 m/s

Tennis ball thrown horizontally towards the front of the bus is given as 15 m/s.. Thus, v_ball = 15 m/s

No, due to the fact that the bus and the ball are moving at the same time, an observer will think the speed is the sum of that of the ball and the bus.

Thus, it will appear to an observer on the sidewalk that the speed is; v_bus + v_ball = 20 + 15 = 35 m/s
