A chunk of paraffin (wax) has a mass of 50.4 grams and a volume of 57.9 cm3. What is the density of

Physics
1 answer:

6 0

Density  =  (mass) / (volume)

              =  (50.4) / (57.9)  =  0.87 gm/cm³

Since the density is less than 1.0, the paraffin floats in water.

Since it's so close to 1.0 on the low side, the paraffin floats
with most of it under the water line.

Inertia is the property of an object that describes:
8_murik_8 [283]
Inertia is the property of an object that basically describes its resistance to change its state of motion.

For instance, if an object is still, inertia describes the "attitude" of the object to stay still (a force should be applied in order to move it). Similarly, if an object is moving by uniform motion (with constant speed), inertia refers to the "attitude" of the object to keep its uniform motion (again, a force should be applied to the object in order to change this state of motion).

A fly has a mass of 1 gram at rest. how fast would it have to be traveling to have the mass of a large suv, which is about 3000
Zigmanuir [339]

We solve this using special relativity. Special relativity actually places the relativistic mass to be the rest mass factored by a constant "gamma". The gamma is equal to 1/sqrt (1 - (v/c)^2). <span>

We want a ratio of 3000000 to 1, or 3 million to 1. 

</span>

<span>Therefore:
3E6 = 1/sqrt (1 - (v/c)^2) 
1 - (v/c)^2 = (0.000000333)^2 
0.99999999999999 = (v/c)^2 
0.99999999999999 = v/c 
<span>v= 99.999999999999% of the speed of light ~ speed of light
<span>v = 3 x 10^8 m/s</span></span></span>

The magnetic field due to a utility wire is 0.10 mT when you are at a distance of 10 meters from it. What current (in Amperes) f
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

I = 5000 A

Explanation:

We will use Ampere's Law to calculate the current:

B = \frac{\mu I}{2\pi r}\\\\

where,

B = Magnetic Field Strength = 0.1 mT = 1 x 10⁻⁴ T

μ = Permeability of Free Space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ N/A²

I = Current = ?

r = radius = 10 m

Therefore,

1\ x\ 10^{-4}\ T = \frac{(4\pi\ x\ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2)(I)}{2\pi(10\ m)}\\\\I = \frac{(1\ x\ 10^{-4}\ T)(2\pi (10\ m))}{4\pi\ x\ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2}

<u>I = 5000 A</u>
