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

A block has a volume of 0.09 m3 and a density of 4,000 kg/m3. What's the force of gravity acting on the

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Density = (mass) / (volume)
4,000 kg/m³ = (mass) / (0.09 m³)
(4,000 kg/m³) x (0.09 m³) = mass
mass = 360 kg
force of gravity = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) = (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = (360 x 9.8) kg-m<span>/s² </span><span>= </span>3,528 newtons .

In a Young's double-slit experiment, light of wavelength 500 nm illuminates two slits which are separated by 1 mm. The separatio

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

b. 0.25cm

Explanation:

You can solve this question by using the formula for the position of the fringes:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

m: order of the fringes

lambda: wavelength 500nm

D: distance to the screen 5 m

d: separation of the slits 1mm=1*10^{-3}m

With the formula you can calculate the separation of two adjacent slits:

$\Delta y=\frac{(m+1)(\lambda D)}{d}-\frac{m\lambda D }{d}=\frac{\lambda D}{d}\\\\\Delta y=\frac{(500*10^{-9}nm)(5m)}{1*10^{-3}m}=2.5*10^{-3}m=0.25cm$

hence, the aswer is 0.25cm

RoseWind [281]

For the electric field is measured for points at distances r,Electric field is mathematically given as

E=19.9*10^{-5}c/m^3

<h3>What is the Electric field?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the electric field uniform charged is mathematically given as

$E=\frac{lr}{3e0}$

Therefore

E=lr/3E0=3Ee0/r

Therefore

E=3*6*10^4*8.85*10^{-12}

E=19.9*10^{-5}c/m^3

In conclusion, E=19.9*10^{-5}c/m^3

E=19.9*10^{-5}c/m^3
