Answer:

Density is defined as:

Density = Mass/Volume

Now, density is an intensive property, this means that if you have 10 grams of a given material or 1000 grams of the same material, in both cases you will find the same density.

Then a roll of 50 pennies has the same density that a single penny.

The measures of a single penny are:

Mass = 2.5 g

Thickness = 1.52 mm

Radius = 9.525 mm

The coin is a cylinder, and the volume of a cylinder is:

V = pi*r^2*h

where:

pi = 3.14

r = radius = 9.525mm

h = thikness = 1.52mm

The volume is:

V = 3.14*(9.525mm)^2*1.52mm = 433.015 mm^3

The density will be:

D = 2.5g/433.015mm^3 = 0.00577 g/mm^3

8_murik_8 [283]

<span>The surface charge density = q/A So q = surface charge density x Area The surface area of a sphere of radius R is 4*Pi*R^2. R = d/2 where d is diameter. This leaves us with 1.3/2 = 0.65. Area = 4 * pie * (0.65)^2 = 5.30998. So the net charge q = 8.1 * 10^(-6) * 5.30998 = 42.47998 * 10^(-6) The Total electric flux = Q/e_0 where , 8.854 Ă— 10â’12, e_0 is permitivity of free space. So Flux = 42.47998 * 10^(-6) / 8.854 * 10(â’12) = 4.833 * 10^(-6 - (-12)) = 4.833 * 10^(6)</span>

A projectile falls beneath the straight-line path it would follow if there were no gravity. How many meters does it fall below t

maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose v is the initial velocity and $\theta$ is the angle of inclination

distance traveled in vertical direction in t=1 s

When gravity is present

$y=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where $y=vertical\ distance$

$a=acceleration$

$t=time$

$v=initial\ velocity$

here initial velocity is v\sin \theta [/tex] so

$y=v\sin \theta \times 1-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y=v\sin \theta -0.5g$

In absence of gravity

$y_2=v\sin \theta \times t$

$y_2=v\sin \theta \times 1$

$\Delta y=y_2-y=v\sin \theta -v\sin \theta +0.5 g=4.9\ m$

What happens to a light wave when it travels from air into glass?

tino4ka555 [31]

Light is refracted when it crosses the interface from air to glass in which it moves more slowly.
Since the light speed changes at the interface, the wave length of the light must change too. The wave length decreases as the light enter the medium and the light wave changes direction.
