Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Density
</u>
The density of a substance is the mass per unit volume. The density varies with temperature and pressure.
The formula to calculate the density of a substance of mass (m) and volume (V) is:
The cube has a mass of m=3.75 g and a volume of V=3 ml, thus the density is:
Since 1 kg=1000 mg and 1 lt = 1000 ml, the density has the same value but with different units:
Well, there you have a very important principle wrapped up in that question.
There's actually no such thing as a real, actual amount of potential energy.
There's only potential <em><u>relative to some place</u></em>. It's the work you have to do
to lift the object from that reference place to wherever it is now. It's also
the kinetic energy the object would have if it fell down to the reference place
from where it is now.
Here's the formula for potential energy: PE = (mass) x (gravity) x (<em><u>height</u></em><u>)</u> .
So naturally, when you use that formula, you need to decide "height above what ?"
If you're reading a book while you're flying in a passenger jet, the book's PE is
(M x G x 0 meters) relative to your lap, (M x G x 1 meter) relative to the floor of the
plane, (M x G x 10,000 meters) relative to the ground, and maybe (M x G x 25,000 meters)
relative to the bottom of the ocean.
Let's say that gravity is 9.8 m/s² .
Then a 4kg block sitting on the floor has (39.2 x 0 meters) PE relative to the floor
it's sitting on, also (39.2 x 3 meters) relative to the floor that's one floor downstairs,
also (39.2 x 30 meters) relative to 10 floors downstairs, and if it's on the top floor of
the Amoco/Aon Center in Chicago, maybe (39.2 x 345 meters) relative to the floor
in the coffee shop that's off the lobby on the ground floor.
