Given:
ρ = 13.6 x 10³ kg/m³, density of mercury
W = 6.0 N, weight of the mercury sample
g = 9.81 m/s², acceleration due to gravity.

Let V =  the volume of the sample.
Then
W = ρVg
or
V =  W/(ρg)
   = (6.0 N)/[(13.6 x 10³ kg/m³)*(9.81 m/s²)]
   = 4.4972 x 10⁻⁵ m³

Answer: The volume is 44.972 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Density of copper is 8.96 g/cm3and density of zinc is 7.14 g/cm3. Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc. You are given a sam
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The material cost for making one ton of the brass sample that I have is $8149.04.

Explanation:

Density of copper = 8.96 g/cm^3 = 8.96×10^-3 kg/cm^3

Price of copper = $6.13/kg

Price of copper per volume = 8.96×10^-3 kg/cm^3 × $6.13/kg = $0.0549/cm^3

Density of zinc = 7.14 g/cm^3 = 7.14×10^-3 kg/cm^3

Price of zinc = $1.8/kg

Price of zinc per volume = 7.14×10^-3 kg/cm^3 × $1.8/kg = $0.0129/cm^3

Price of brass per volume = 0.0549 + 0.0129 = $0.0678/cm^3

Density of brass I have is 8.32 g/cm^3 = 8.32 g/cm^3 × 1 kg/1000 g × 1 ton/1000 kg = 8.32×10^-6 ton/cm^3

Price = $0.0678/cm^3 ÷ 8.32×10^-6 ton/cm^3 = $8149.04/ton

A submerged submarine alters its _____ to rise or fall in the water.
Dima020 [189]
Are there any answer choices?
Submarines use <span>buoyancy by filling ballast tanks up with water. When they are filled with water, they are more dense than the surrounding water, so they are able to sink. If they want to rise, they fill these tanks up with air so that the density is less than the water it surrounds. 
Hope this helps! :)</span>

Suppose a rock is dropped off a cliff with an initial speed of 0m/s. What is the rocks speed after 5 secounds, in m/s, if it enc
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The rock's speed after 5 seconds is 98 m/s.

Explanation:

A rock is dropped off a cliff.

It had an initial velocity of 0 m/s. And now it is moving downwards under the influence of gravitational force with the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s².

Speed after 5 seconds = V

We know that acceleration = average speed/time

In our case,

g = ((0+V)/2)/5

9.8*5 = V/2

=> V = 2*9.8*5

V = 98 m/s
