Answer:

mass

Explanation:

The density of a substance is defined as the ratio of mass of the substance to the volume of the substance.

It is a scalar quantity.

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

Its SI unit is kg/m^3.

By comparing the densities we get the idea about how dense the substance is.

For example, cotton and iron, the density of cotton is much less than iron so the cotton is less dense than iron.

The relative density is defined as the ratio of density of substance to the density of water at 4 degree C.

The density of water is maximum at 4 degree C.

List and explain briefly similarities and differences between the electric force between two charges and the gravitational force

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory.

Explanation:

Similarities

1) The resultant force is along the line that joins both charges or both masses (assuming both objects can be represented as points)

2) Both type of forces obey Newton's 3rd law.

3) Both are proportional to the product of the property that is affected by the force (charges and masses)

4) Both obey an inverse - square law (consequence of our universe being three-dimensional)

Differences

1) Main difference, is that while the gravitational force is always attractive, the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive, as there are two types of charges, which attract each other being of different type, and repel each other if they are of the same type.

2) It is possible, artificially, to block the influence of the electrostatic force, shielding a room, for instance, which is not possible for the gravitational force.

With a thunderstorm brewing, an electric field of magnitude 2.0 × 102 newtons/coulomb exists at a certain point in the earth’s a

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The correct option is (b).

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field, $E=2\times 10^2\ N/C$

We need to find the magnitude of the force on the electron as a result of the electric field.

We know that, the electric force is given by :

$F=qE\\\\=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2\times 10^2\\\\F=3.2\times 10^{-17}\ N$

So, the required force on the electron is equal to $3.2\times 10^{-17}\ N$ .

Newton’s empirical law of cooling/warming of an object is given by ( ), T Tm k dt dT = − where k is a constant of proportionalit

pychu [463]

Answer:

The time for the cake to cool off to room temperature is

approximately 30 minutes.

Let $T_{0}$ = $70^{0}$ F be the temperature and T that of the body

Explanation:

Our Tm = 70, the initial-value problem is

$\frac{DT}{dt}$ = k(T − 70), T(0) = 300

Solving the equation, we get

$\frac{DT}{t-70}$ = kdt

In [T-70]= kt + $C_{1}$

T = 70 + $C_{2}$ $e^{kt}$

Finding he value for $C_{2}$ using the initial value of T (0)= 300, therefore we get:

300=70+ $C_{2}$

$C_{2}$ = 230 therefore

T= 70+ 230 $e^{kt}$

Finding the value for k using T (3) = 200, therefore we get

T (3) = 200

$e^{3k}$ = $\frac{13}{23}$

K = $\frac{1}{3}$ in $\frac{13}{23}$

= -0.19018

Therefore

T(t) = 70+230 $e^{-0.19018}$

In the first law of Thermodynamics ΔE = Q - W, what does ΔE stand for???

Alexxx [7]

ΔE = q + w

q = heat (quantity of)

q and w can be positive or negative depending on if work/heat is being absorbed/done on the system or released/done by the system

The total electric flux from a cubical box 26.0 cm on a side is 1840 N m2/C. What charge is enclosed by the box?

vitfil [10]

The expression of the electric flux is

$\Phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$

Here,

Q = Total charge enclosed in the closed surface

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity due to free space

Rearranging to find the charge,

$Q = \epsilon_0 \Phi$

Replacing with our values we have finally

$Q = (8.85*10^{-12}F\cdot m^{-1})(1.84*10^3 N\cdot m^2/C)$

$Q = 1.6284*10^{-8} C$ $(\frac{10^9nC}{1C})$

$Q = 0.1684nC$

The charge enclosed by the box is 0.1684nC

The sign of the charge can be decided by using the direction of the flux. The charge enclosed by the cube can be calculated by using the electric flux and the permitivity of free space.
