Answer:

B. Iron nails are attracted to the magnet

Explanation:

A qualitative observation is an observation that gives qualitative data -as opposed to quantitative-. This means that the data is non-numerical (or unquantifiable). In other words it could be said that a qualitative observation can be reached when you don't count anything. In chemistry qualitative observations can be made of properties such as color, smell, or whether or not a species is attracted to a magnet.

Consider a rectangular ice floe 5.00 m high, 4.00 m long, and 3.00 m wide. a) What percentage of the ice floe is below the water

artcher [175]

Answer:

(a) 92 %

(b) 6.76 %

Explanation:

length, l = 4 m, height, h = 5 m, width, w = 3 m, density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

density of ice = 920 kg/m^3, density of mercury = 13600 kg/m^3

(a) Let v be the volume of ice below water surface.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of water x g = Total volume of ice block x density

of ice x g

v x 1000 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.92

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.92 x 100 = 92 %

(b) Let v be the volume of ice below the mercury.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of mercury x g = Total volume of ice block x

density of ice x g

v x 13600 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.0676

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.0676 x 100 = 6.76 %

What is the uncertainty of the position of the bacterium? express your answer with the appropriate units?

lbvjy [14]

For two un-related quantities, the Heisenberg uncertainty equations holds: the prduct of the two uncertainty quantities is greater than $\hbar/2$
Example of unrelated quantities are position and momentum, energy and time.
Thus
$\Delta x*\Delta p \ \textgreater \ \hbar/2$
Knowing the speed of the bacteria the uncertainty in its position is
$\Delta x \ \textgreater \ \hbar/(2 \Delta p) =\hbar/(2mv)$

A fuel pump sends gasoline from a car's fuel tank to the engine at a rate of 5.64 10-2 kg/s. the density of the gasoline is 735

Irina18 [472]

Given:
Gasoline pumping rate, R = 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s
Density of gasoline, D = 735 kg/m³
Radius of fuel line, r = 3.43 x 10⁻³ m

Calculate the cross sectional area of the fuel line.
A = πr² = π(3.43 x 10⁻³ m)² = 3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Let v = speed of pumping the gasoline, m/s
Then the mass flow rate is
M = AvD = (3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²)*(v m/s)*(735 kg/m³) = 0.027166v kg/s

The gasoline pumping rate is given as 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s, therefore
0.027166v = 0.0564
v = 2.076 m/s

Answer: 2.076 m/s
The gasoline moves through the fuel line at 2.076 m/s.
