A rock has a specific gravity of 2.32 and a volume of 8.64 in3 how much does it weigh

Physics

Answer: 3.21 N

Specific\hspace{1mm} gravity = \frac {Density\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}substance}{Density\hspace{1mm} of \hspace{1mm}water}

\Rightarrow Density \hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}substance= 2.32\times 1000\hspace{1mm} kg/m^3 = 2320\hspace{1mm}kg/m^3\\ Mass =Density\times volume\\ \Rightarrow 2320 \hspace{1mm} kg/m^3\times 8.64 \hspace{1mm}in^3\times \frac {1.64\times10^{-5} m^3}{1\hspace{1mm}in^3}=0.328 kg

For weight, we will multiply by g=9.8 m/s^{-2}

weight= 0.328\times9.8=3.21\hspace{1mm}N

Hence, the rock would weigh 3.21 N.

A fixed mass of an ideal gas is heated from 50°C to 80°C (a) at constant volume and (b) at constant pressure. For which case do
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

given data

temperature T1 =  50°C

temperature T2 = 80°C

solution

we know energy require to heat the air is express as

for constant pressure and volume

Q  = m ×  c × ΔT     ........................1

here m is mass of the gas and c is specific heat of the gas and Δ T is change in temperature of the gas

here both Mass and temperature difference is equal and energy required is dependent on specific heat of air.

and here at constant pressure Specific heat  is greater than the specific heat at constant volume,

so the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass by one degree at constant pressure is

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

and

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

What are the properties of bungee gum,hmmm?
lys-0071 [83]
It’s both a solid and a liquid. It can thicken and soften depending on how it’s handled. It can be used to cover wounds to stop bleed, and used to drown enemies. Bungee Gum has the properties of both rubber and gum.

A conductor differs from an insulator in that a conductor.
Zina [86]

Answer:

has free electrons

Explanation:

A conductor has free electrons while an insulator does not. Free electrons are electrons which are not bounded tightly to their parent atoms, and are free to move given the right conditions (ie. a strong EM field).

Why do ice cubes always float at the top of a glass of water?
AnnZ [28]

Because water is a very very very very very unusual substance ... It's
the only known substance whose solid form is less dense than its liquid
form near the same temperature.

In other words, water is the only known substance for which a solid lump
of it floats in a liquid glass of it.

If that were not true ... if the behavior of the density of water around its
freezing temperature were the same as the density of all other known
substances ... then life on Earth would be impossible.

Think about that for a while !  Ya gotta admire whoever it was that designed water !
