Why can’t you identify a substance on the basis of density alone?

1 answer:

8 0

Because density changes, it do depends on the state of the substance it's a state variable, for eg you have a cup of water at 4°c at this point the water possess the highest density, but at 0°c the density decreases, due to anamolous behaviour of water molecules by creating a cage mechanised structure.. (then according to your statement you might say both are different, but though they are same just difference in thier states) thus you can't have density alone as a basis

When touched by a plastic straw, the metal sphere will do what?

bearhunter [10]

I believe that if you touch a metal sphere with a plastic straw, the straw would not have enough strength to push it. So in that case, the metal sphere will not move and will stay in one place.

The escape speed from an object is v2 = 2GM/R, where M is the mass of the object, R is the object's starting radius, and G is th

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Approximate escape speed = 45.3 km/s

Explanation:

Escape speed

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

Here we have

Gravitational constant = G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

R = 1 AU = 1.496 × 10¹¹ m

M = 2.3 × 10³⁰ kg

Substituting

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 2.3\times 10^{30}}{1.496\times 10^{11}}}=4.53\times 10^4m/s=45.3km/s$

Approximate escape speed = 45.3 km/s

Fighter jet starting from airbase A flies 300 km east , then 350 km at 30° west of north and then 150km north to arrive finally

Tems11 [23]

A jet fighter flies from the airbase A 300 km East to the point M. Then 350 km at 30° West of North.
It means : at 60° North of West. So the distance from the final point to the line AM is :
350 · cos 60° = 350 · 0.866 = 303.1 km
Let`s assume that there is a line N on AM.
AN = 125 km and NM = 175 km.
And finally jet fighter flies 150 km North to arrive at airbase B.
NB = 303.1 + 150 = 453.1 km
Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
d ( AB ) = √(453.1² + 125²) = √(205,299.61 + 15,625) = 470 km
Also foe a direction: cos α = 125 / 470 = 0.266
α = cos^(-1) 0.266 = 74.6°
90° - 74.6° = 15.4°
Answer: The distance between the airbase A and B is 470 km.
Direction is : 15.4° East from the North.
