From tables, the density of mercury is
13545 kg/m^3 at 20°C,
13472 kg/m^3 at 50°C.

Because mass = density * volume, the mass of mercury at 20°C is
m = (13545 kg/m^3)*(0.002 m^3) = 27.09 kg

Let V = volume of mercury at 50°C.
Because the mass of mercury does not change, therefore at 50°C,
(13472 kg/m^3)*(V m^3) = 27.09
V = 27.09/13472 = 0.0020108 m^3

Answer: B. 0.002010812 m³

It might make more sense putting it another way but this is basically it. you just take the minutes and divide them by 60 to convert them to hours. then simplify the ratio

During the deceleration of an ascending elevator, the normal force on the feet of a passenger is _____ her weight. During the de

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: Smaller than ; larger than

Explanation:

When the elevator is moving in the upward direction, then the force acting on it is negative in nature because of

N= mg +ma, (g is gravity and a is acceleration)

here ma is negative so the N= mg-ma

Hence, it feels smaller than its original weight.

When the elevator is moving downward , then the force acting will be positive in nature

N= mg+ma,

here ma will be positive so it feels larger the original weight of passenger.

The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which gives this number in three significant digits? 299,000,000. m/s 2.99 x

dexar [7]

Answer: $2.99(10)^{-8} m/s$

Explanation:

When a number is written in scientific notation (representing the number using powers of base ten) it is expressed so that it contains a digit in the place of the units and all other digits after the decimal point, multiplied by the respective exponent.

Then, the significant figures (or significant digits) will be the digits that are before the power of ten.

Now, in the case of the number 299,792,458 if we want to write it with three significant digits, we have to write it in scientific notation as:

$2.99(10)^{-8}$
