Marysya12 [62]

No the density does not change. Density is a ratio D=m/v no matter how much of a substance you have its mass will be proportional.
When doing density labs sometimes you might get different answers due to errors that are unavoidable.

Well, in some systems the atoms melt or burn or change state like from liquid to gases when they reach a certain temperature. This could decrease the energy in the system.

In the ENGR 10 lab (E391), there are 50 long light bulbs (P=100 W) and 30 regular bulbs (P=60 W). How much energy is consumed li

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Total energy saving will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

We have given there are 50 long light bulbs of power 100 W so total power of 50 bulb = 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

30 bulbs are of power 60 W

So total power of 30 bulbs = 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

Total power of 80 bulbs = 1.8+5 = 6.8 KW

Total time = 3 hour
