Answer: Not suitable for large volume and irregular shaped object.

Explanation: The answer refers to a high school physics experiment where candidates are required to determine the density of an object which is regularly or irregularly shaped.

Therefore, an object whose shape is irregular although its volume might be as same as a regular shape i.e, (cuboid), might be difficult to fit in the container provided for the density.

Answer: The calculated volume measures the side of the cube to get the volume. An indirect measurement of volume measures the displacement of a liquid by a solid.

Explanation:

Volume is the amount of the space occupied by an object. Volume can be used to measure the amount of the space occupied by the solid, liquid and gas.

When the direct measurement is not possible then the indirect measurement is used by taking the small part that object to calculate the whole part of that.

The limitations of the calculated and indirect volume measurement are as follows,

The calculated volume measures the side of the cube to get the volume. An indirect measurement of volume measure the displacement of a liquid by a solid. For example, the volume of the liquid is displaced by the sponge is not equal to the volume of the sponge.

A wire 3.22 m long and 7.32 mm in diameter has a resistance of 11.9 mΩ. A potential difference of 33.7 V is applied between the

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

(a) Current is 2831.93 A

(b) $8.40A/m^2$

Explanation:

Length of wire l = 3.22 m

Diameter of wire d = 7.32 mm = 0.00732 m

Cross sectional area of wire

$A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.00366^2=4.20\times 10^{-5}m^2$

Resistance $R=11.9mohm=11.9\times 10^{-3}ohm$

Potential difference V = 33.7 volt

(A) current is equal to

$i=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{33.7}{11.9\times 10^{-3}}=2831.93A$

(B) Current density is equal to

$J=\frac{i}{A}$

$J=\frac{2831.93}{4.20\times 10^{-5}}=8.40A/m^2$

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

$11.9\times 10^{-3}=\frac{\rho \times 3.22}{4.20\times 10^{-5}}$

$\rho =15.52\times 10^{-9}ohm-m$

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

0.00493 m/s

Explanation:

T = Temperature of the isotope = 85 nK

R = Gas constant = 8.341 J/mol K

M = Molar mass of isotope = 86.91 g/mol

Root Mean Square speed is given by

$v_r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}}\\\Rightarrow v_r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 8.314\times 85\times 10^{-9}}{86.91\times 10^{-3}}}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.00493\ m/s$

The Root Mean Square speed is 0.00493 m/s

Which of the following statements about energy is true? I. Kinetic energy cannot be transformed into another type of energy. II.

Mashcka [7]

Answer: B. II and III only

Explanation:

Let’s begin by explianing what energy is: the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others. In this sense, there are several types of energy, but we will talk especifically in this case about kinetic energy and potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object or body has due to its movement and depends on the mass and velocity of the object or body.

To understande it better: If an object is at rest, its velocity is null and it does not have kinetic energy, however, if the object is moving, then it has kinetic energy.

On the other hand, Potential energy is known as “stored energy” that has the potential to be converted into energy of motion (kinetic energy) or another type of energy (thermal energy, for example). In addition, this energy is related to the work done when a certain force moves an object or body from its natural resting state along a distance to a new position.

So, according to this, Kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy and Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy or any other type of energy. Hence, options II and III are correct.
