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.

Why are certain metalloids useful in today's technological equipment?

fgiga [73]

The answer is B.

Metalloids are elements that posses some of the characteristics of non-metals and also some of the characteristics of metals.

The semiconductivity property of metalloids such as Siliconium, Geranium have been leveraged to the maximum and these are used in LCD screens, televisions and many other technological appliances.

The rest of the question

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.220 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The net force exerted on the third charge is $F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The third charge is $q_3 = 55 nC = 55 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the third charge is $x = -1.220 \ m$

The first charge is $q_1 = -16 nC = -16 *10^{-9} \ C$

The position of the first charge is $x_1 = -1.650m$

The second charge is $q_2 = 32 nC = 32 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the second charge is $x_2 = 0 \ m$

The distance between the first and the third charge is

$d_{1-3} = -1.650 -(-1.220)$

$d_{1-3} = -0.43 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is

$F_{1-3} = \frac{k q_1 q_3}{d_{1-3}^2}$

Where k is the coulomb's constant with a value $9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.$

substituting values

$F_{1-3} = \frac{9*10^{9}* 16 *10^{-9} * (55*10^{-9})}{(-0.43)^2}$

$F_{1-3} = 4.28 *10^{-5} \ N$

The distance between the second and the third charge is

$d_{2-3} = 0- (-1.22)$

$d_{2-3} =1.220 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is mathematically evaluated as

$F_{2-3} = \frac{k q_2 q_3}{d_{2-3}^2}$

substituting values

$F_{2-3} = \frac{9*10^{9} * (32*10^{-9}) *(55*10^{-9})}{(1.220)^2}$

$F_{2-3} = 1.06*10^{-5} N$

The net force is

$F_{net} = F_{1-3} -F_{2-3}$

substituting values

$F_{net} = 4.28 *10^{-5} - 1.06*10^{-5}$

$F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

The graph below is called a heating curve. It shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature a

Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation :

The heating curve shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature and the addition or removal of heat over time.

Initially, ice is heated until its temperature reaches $0^0\ C$ and changes to liquid state.

From the attached graph it is clear that until $100^0\ C$ the temperature will rise steadily. Here, the liquid begins to vaporize. Vaporization is the state of matter at which liquid state changes to the gaseous state.

So, E is the point which shows the gaseous state.
