The density of the nugget is $19 g/cm^3$ and is made of gold

Explanation:

The density of an object can be calculated as

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

where

d is the density

m is the mass

V is the volume of the object

We have to note that density of an object actually depends on the material the object is made of (therefore, two objects made of the same material can have different mass and different volume, but they have same density).

For the nugget in this problem, we have:

mass: m = 38 g

volume: $V=2 cm^3$

So, its density is

$d=\frac{38}{2}=19 g/cm^3$

And by looking at the table, we see that this value corresponds approximately to the density of gold, so the nugget is made of gold.

Course hero N4M.6 A board has one end wedged under a rock having a mass of 380 kg and is supported by another rock that touches

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Therefore it is save to carry a 62kg adult

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $m=380kg$

Height of supporting Rock $X=85cm$

Length of Board $L_r=4.5m$

Mass of board $M_b=22kg$

Mass of adult $M_a=62$

Generally the moment of balance about wedge part about is mathematically given by

$N -Q + R = Mg + mg$

$0.85*N - Mg*2.25 - mg*(2.25 + x) = 0$

$0.85*N = + Mg*2.25 + mg*(2.25 + x)$

where

$N+R=4547$

therefore

$N = 570.70588 + 1608.3529 + 714.823 x$

if N=0 at fallen person

$x=3.04m$

Therefore it is save to carry a 62kg adult

You are given a copper bar of dimensions 3 cm × 5 cm × 8 cm and asked to attach leads to it in order to make a resistor. (a) If

dem82 [27]

Answer:

A) If you want to achieve the SMALLEST possible resistance, you should attach the leads to the opposite faces that measure b) 5 cm by 8 cm.

B) If you want to achieve the LARGEST possible resistance, you should attach the leads to the opposite faces that measure a) 3 cm × 5 cm

Explanation:

Resistivity is directly proportional to lenght and inversely properly to cross sectional area.

For the first case, 5 cm by 8 cm gives the largest area and leave 3 cm as the lenght. The resistivity of the metal will be smallest in these dimensions.

For the second case, 3 cm by 5 cm gives the smallest area, leaving 8 cm as the lenght. This is the maximum arrangement that can give the largest resistance possible.

A circular coil of wire of 200 turns and diameter 6 cm carries a current of 7 A. It is placed in a magnetic field of 0.90 T with

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

3.08 Nm

Explanation:

N = 200, diameter = 6 cm, radius = 3 cm, I = 7 A, B = 0.90 T, Angle = 30 degree

The angle made with the normal of the coil, theta = 90 - 30 = 60 degree

Torque = N I A B Sin Theta

Torque = 200 x 7 x 3.14 x 0.03 x 0.03 x 0.90 x Sin 60

Torque = 3.08 Nm
