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>

When the spacecraft is at the halfway point, how does the strength of the gravitional force on the spaceprobe by Earth compre wi
mixer [17]

Solution :

When the spacecraft is at halfway point, the distance from the Earth as well as Mars are same. We have to account the masses of the planets. The gravitational force that is exerted by the Earth is greater because of its combined mass with the space probe.

The mass of Earth is greater than the mass of Mars. Therefore, the force of Earth is more than Mars.

Since the aluminum bar is not an isolated system, the second law of thermodynamics cannot be applied to the bar alone. Rather, i
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

ΔS total ≥ 0 (ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings)

Explanation:

Assuming that the entropy change in the aluminium bar is due to heat exchange with the surroundings ( the lake) , then the entropy change of the aluminium bar is, according to the second law of thermodynamics, :

ΔS al ≥ ∫dQ/T

if the heat transfer is carried out reversibly

ΔS al =∫dQ/T  

in the surroundings

ΔS surr ≥ -∫dQ/T = -ΔS al → ΔS surr ≥ -ΔS al = - (-1238 J/K) = 1238 J/K

the total entropy change will be

ΔS total = ΔS al + ΔS surr

ΔS total ≥ ΔS al + (-ΔS al) =

ΔS total ≥ 0

the total entropy change will be ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings

A proton travels with a speed of 5.02×10⁶ m/s in a direction that makes an angle of 60.0° with the direction of a magnetic ficld
Triss [41]

The magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton is 1.25× 10—¹³ N.

Speed of the proton = 5.02 × 10 ⁶ m /a

Angel of between the velocity and the magnetic force = 60 °

The magnitude of magnetic field B = 0.180 T

The magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton is,

F = q(v \times B)

F = qvB \: sin \:  θ

F = 1.6 \times 10 ^{ - 19}  \times 5.02 \times 10 ^{6}  \times 0.180 \times  \: sin \: 60°

= 1.25 \times 10 ^{ - 13}  \: N

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton is 1.25× 10—¹³ N.

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir
Ber [7]

Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A <u>Law</u> is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.  

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.  

<u>Unlike theory</u>, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and <u>is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.  </u>

Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.

Emilio pushes a 100 kg freshman with 200 N of force. How much is the freshman accelerated?
ladessa [460]

Explanation:

F = MA

200 = 100 * A

A = 200/100

A = 2m/sec^2
