suppose a scientist found a new matal-like substance in the desert. He determined its mass to be 20 grams. The volume was determ

ined by water displacement to be 5 cm^3. What is the density of the substance? Will it sink or float in liquid water ( 1g/cm^3)?

Density = (mass) / (volume)

Density = (20 g) / (5 cm³)

<em>Density = 4 g/cm³</em> .

The density of the substance is greater than the density of water. A lump of the substance <em>will sink in water</em>, <u>unless</u> the lump is formed into a shape that displaces 20 cm³ of water or more, such as a tiny boat shape.

What would you do to improve the precision of an experiment?
GenaCL600 [577]

Explanation:

Precision represents that how close the different measurements of the sample one take are to one another.

  • One can increase the precision in lab by paying attention to each and every detail.
  • Usage of the equipment properly and also increasing the sample size.
  • Ensuring that the equipment is calibrated properly. They should be clean and functioning. Using equipment which is not functioning correctly can cause results to swing wildly and also bits of the debris stuck to the equipment can influence the measurements of the mass and the volume.
  • Each measurement must be taken multiple times, especially if experiments in which combining of the substances in specific amounts is involved.

Why can an object still be seen when it is at absolute zero?
zavuch27 [327]
<span>As the temperature goes down, the chaotic motion (velocity) of atoms start decreasing. If the temperature hits the absolute zero (which, in reality, is impossible to achieve), the atoms of the body would freeze, making the body still and stiff. One thing to note here is that the atoms do not get destroyed when the temperature reaches the absolute zero. That is the reason why the object can still be seen when it is at absolute zero.</span>

boyakko [2]

Answer:

53.64 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

a = (v-u)/t............. Equation 1

Where a = acceleration of the car, v = final velocity of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, t = time.

make u the subject of the equation

u = v-at............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: a = -12 mph/s = -5.364 m/s², t = 10 seconds, v = 0 m/s (comes to stop)

Substitute these values into equation 2

u = 0-(-5.364×10)

u = 0+53.64

u = 53.64 m/s
