How did Archimedes measure the mass of the block of gold?

5 0
Archimedes found a piece of gold and a piece of silver with exactly the same mass. He dropped the gold  into a bowl filled to the brim with water and measured the volume of water that spilled out. Then he did the same thing with the piece of solver. Although both metals had the same mass, the silver gad a larger volume; therefore, it displaced more water than the gold did. That's because the silver was less dense than gold. Afterwards he applied the same method to the crown for the king he served who had got a new crown from a jeweler who gave it to him. Archimedes found a piece of pure gold that had the same mass as the crown. He placed the pure gold chuck and the crown in water, one at a time. The crown displaced more water the piece of gold. Therefore, its density was less than pure gold.

The watt is a rate, similar to something like speed (miles per hour) and other time-interval related measurements.

Specifically, watt means Joules per Second. We are given that the electrical engine has 400 watts, meaning it can make 400 joules per second. If we need 300 kJ, or 3000 Joules, then we can write an equation to solve the time it would take to reach this amount of joules:

w * t = E

w: Watts

t: Time

E: Energy required

(Watts times time is equal to the energy required)

<u>Input our values:</u>

400 * t = 3000

(We need to write 3000 joules instead of 300 kilojoules, since Watts is in joules per second. It's important to make sure your units are consistent in your equations)

<u>Divide both sides by 400 to isolate t:</u>

<u />\frac{400t}{400} = \frac{3000}{400}

t = 7.5 (s)

<u>It will take 7.5 seconds for the 400 W engine to produce 300 kJ of work.</u>

<u></u>

If the bar magnet is flipped over and the south pole is brought near the hanging ball, the ball will be?
disa [49]

The ball may attracted to the magnet.

<h3>How can we understand that the hanging ball will be attracted to the magnet or not?</h3>
  • From the question, we understand that the ball is attracted by the north pole of the bar magnet, then the bar magnet flipped over and the south pole is brought near the hanging ball.
  • As we know, in this type of experiments of bar magnet most of the times the ball is made out of steel.
  • Steel is a magnetic material.
  • Magnetic materials gets attracted  to the magnet at both the North and South pole.
  • This can be compared to how neutral objects also gets attracted to the positively and negatively charged rods through the Polarization force.

So, If the bar magnet is flipped over and the south pole is brought near the hanging ball, The ball will be attracted to the magnet.

A 10kg oil is heated by a source of heat that supplies 800J of heat every minute. Calculate The heat added to oil after 30 minut
goblinko [34]

Answer:

4,200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a material is the energy required to raise one kilogram (kg) of the material by one degree Celsius (°C). The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). This means that it takes 4,200 J to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C.

HELP PLEASE <br> Find the net force necessary for a 15 kg object to accelerate at 20 m/s/s.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 300 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given the mass and acceleration we use the formula

<h3>force = mass × acceleration</h3>

We have

force = 15 × 20

We have the final answer as

<h3>300 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
