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.

Solar panels convert light energy from sunlight into electrical energy. What material is most likely used in solar panels, and w
klemol [59]

Answer:

A metalloid is used because it is a semiconductor and can become more conductive when more light shines on it

Explanation:

The material used in a solar panel is a metalloid. It can often become conductive when more light shines on it.

Metalloids have properties that straddles between those of metals and non-metals.

In essence, they can be conductive or not under certain conditions.

The most important property they exhibit is that they can become more conductive when more light shines on them. This way more electrons are produced.

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has magnitude of 3.7 m/s^2. We want
denpristay [2]

Answer:

2.32 s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

s = ut+g't²/2............................ Equation 1

Where s = distance, u = initial velocity, g' = acceleration due to gravity of  the moon, t = time.

Note: Since Onur drops the basket ball from a height, u = 0 m/s

Then,

s = g't²/2

make t the subject of the equation,

t = √(2s/g')...................... Equation 2

Given: s = 10 m, g' = 3.7 m/s²

Substitute this value into equation 2

t = √(2×10/3.7)

t = √(20/3.7)

t = √(5.405)

t = 2.32 s.
