Given data:

Volume of calcite (V) = 15 cm³,

mass of calcite (m) = 40.5 g,

find the

            density of calcite (ρ) = ?

density is defined as " it is the amount of matter of an object in a given volume". Simply it is the ratio of matter in an object to its volume. The unit of density is kg/m³ in SI system or g/cm³ in CGS system.

Mathematically,

                         density ( ρ) = mass/volume    

                                            = m/V     g/cm³

                                            = 40.5 g/15 cm³

                                            = 2.7 g/cm³

Hence, the density of calcite is <em>2.7 g/cm³ </em>

What happens when polar molecules are between oppositely charged metal plates
KatRina [158]

Answer:

They will become aligned according to the charges on the metal plate.

Explanation:

When Polar molecules are placed between oppositely charged metal plates the molecules will tend to be attracted by their corresponding oppositely charged plates that is the positive and negative plates,

A polar molecule is one which has opposite charges on its ends. Non-polar molecules however do not have charges on their end

Which does not affect the gravitational potential energy of an object? mass height speed acceleration due to gravity
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Speed

Explanation:

The answer is speed. It doesn’t affect potential energy because it’s associated with position. But since kinetic energy is associated with motion speed affects it.

A proton is released in a uniform electric field, and it experiences an electric force of 2.36×10−14 N toward the south. (a)What
qwelly [4]

Answer:

a) E = 1.47 × 10^5 N/C

b) south

Explanation:

The magnitude of an electric field can be defined mathematically as;

E = F/q ........1

Where,

E = magnitude of the electric field

F = electric force

q = charge on the proton

Given;

F = 2.36 × 10^-14 N

Note that charge on a proton is known as Qp = 1.602 × 10^-19 C

q = 1.602 × 10^-19 C

Substituting into equation 1, we have;

E = 2.36 × 10^-14 N/1.602 × 10^-19 C

E = 1.47 × 10^5 N/C

b) The direction of the electric field;

From equation 1

E = F/q ........1

since both electric field and electric force are vector quantity and q is a positive charge (constant), then both the electric field and electric force would be parallel to each other. Therefore the electric field is directed to the south also.

(When a vector is multiplied by a positive constant the direction remains the same)

A post is wrapped two full turns around with a belt. The tension in the belt is 7500 N by exerting a force of 150 N on its free
ira [324]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction is

Ū = 0.31

Explanation:

T2 = T1* e^(ūơ)

Where T2 = 7500n = tension in the belt, T1 = 150n = reaction force,

ū = coefficient of friction

Ơ = 2pai * N

Where N = number of turns = 2

Ơ = 4pai

7500 = 150e^(ū*4pai)

50 = e^(ū *4pai)

lin 50 = 4pai * ū

Ū = 3.91/4pai

Ū = 0.31
