Answer: True

Explanation: Specific Gravity of a body, also called its Relative Density, is the ratio of the density of that body to the density of a reference material (usually water).

With the Mathematics done right, it is evident that the specific gravity of a body would be equal to the ratio of mass/weight of the body to the mass/weight of an equal volume of water.

S.G = (Density of body)/(Density of water)

Density of Body = (mass/weight of body)/(volume of body)

Density of water = (mass/weight of water)/(volume of water)

If volume of Body = Volume of water, then,

S.G = (Mass/Weight of body)/(Mass/Weight of equal volume of water)

Aluminum bronze contains 92.0% copper and 8.0% aluminum. What maximum mass of aluminum bronze can be prepared from 73.5g of copp

Keith_Richards [23]

The ratio of aluminum bronze components is:

92.0 Cu / 8.0 Al

The ratio of Cu and Al avilable is: 73.5 Cu / 42.2 Al

Then, it is evident that Al is in excess and Cu is the limitant material.

So, you need two work with the open proportion 92.0/ 8.0 = 73.5Cu / x

=> x = 73.5 * 8 / 92 = 6.39

Then, you can use 6.4 grams of Al and 73.5 grams of Cu to prepare 6.39g + 73.5g = 79.89.grams of Bronze.

I hope this helps.

A car can accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h [E] in 9.60s. calculate the average acceleration

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Acceleration is :

a = 2.89 m/s2

Explanation:

Acceleration : It is the change in the velocity of the object per unit time.

The object starts from the rest , so the initial velocity of the object is zero.

Initial velocity , u = 0

Final velocity = 100 km/h
