If you double the dimensions of a cube what happens to the volume

1 answer:

8 0

By definition, a cube is a three-dimensional figure that have equal dimensions for all its sides. It comprises of two square bases, one on top and one on the bottom. The face sides are also squares. Therefore, the volume of a cube is equal to s³, where s is the measure of the side's length. To compare the change, let us assume values. First, suppose s=1. Then, we denote this volume as V₁.

V₁ = (1)³ = 1

Next, taking the double, s=2. The volume for this is denoted as V₂.

V₂ = (2)³ = 8

Taking the ratio of V₂ to V₁:

V₂/V₁ = 8

That means the scale factor is 8. When the side dimensions is doubled, the volume of the cube increases 8 times as great as the original volume.

A 34-m length of wire is stretched horizontally between two vertical posts. The wire carries a current of 68 A and experiences a

il63 [147K]

Answer:

7.28×10⁻⁵ T

Explanation:

Applying,

F = BILsin∅............. Equation 1

Where F = magnetic force, B = earth's magnetic field, I = current flowing through the wire, L = Length of the wire, ∅ = angle between the field and the wire.

make B the subject of the equation

B = F/ILsin∅.................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 0.16 N, I = 68 A, L = 34 m, ∅ = 72°

Substitute these values into equation 2

B = 0.16/(68×34×sin72°)

B = 0.16/(68×34×0.95)

B = 0.16/2196.4

B = 7.28×10⁻⁵ T

A student at another university repeats the experiment you did in lab. Her target ball is 0.860 m above the floor when it is in

dexar [7]

Answer:

K = 0.076 J

Explanation:

The height of the target, h = 0.860 m

The mass of the steel ball, m = 0.0120 kg

Distance moved, d = 1.50 m

We need to find the kinetic energy (in joules) of the target ball just after it is struck. Let t is the time taken by the ball to reach the ground.

$h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}$

Put all the values,

$t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 0.860 }{9.8}} \\\\=0.418\ s$

The velocity of the ball is :

$v=\dfrac{1.5}{0.418}\\\\= $$3.58\ m/s$

The kinetic energy of the ball is :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.0120\times 3.58^2\\\\=0.076\ J$

So, the required kinetic energy is 0.076 J.
