1. A perspex box has a 10 cm square base and contains water to a height of 10 cm. A piece of rock of mass 600g is lowered into t

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

(a) The volume of water is 100 cm³

(b) The volume of the rock is 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock is 30 g/cm³

Explanation:

The given parameters of the perspex box are;

The area of the base of the box, A = 10 cm²

The initial level of water in the box, h₁ = 10 cm

The mass of the rock placed in the box, m = 600 g

The final level of water in the box, h₂ = 12 cm

(a) The volume of water in the box, 'V', is given as follows;

V = A × h₁

∴ The volume of water in the box, V = 10 cm² × 10 cm = 100 cm³

The volume of water in the box, V = 100 cm³

(b) When the rock is placed in the box the total volume, $V_T$ , is given by the sum of the rock, $V_r$ , and the water, V, is given as follows;

$V_T$ = $V_r$ + V

$V_T$ = A × h₂

∴ $V_T$ = 10 cm² × 12 cm = 120 cm³

The total volume, $V_T$ = 120 cm³

The volume of the rock, $V_r$ = $V_T$ - V

∴ $V_r$ = 120 cm³ - 100 cm³ = 20 cm³

The volume of the rock, $V_r$ = 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock, ρ = (Mass of the rock, m)/(The volume of the rock)

∴ The density of the rock, ρ = 600 g/(20 cm³) = 30 g/cm³

Compare the physical sciences to the life sciences.

Elden [556K]

1.Life science involves fields of discipline catering to living organisms such as we humans while physical science caters to non-living organisms.

2.Life science has more fields of discipline than physical science.

3.Physical science relies on laws and theories to explain concepts while life science relies on biological explanations and can also rely on theories.

Explain how a common housecat gets “worms.”eplain(science)

OLga [1]

Answer:

Cats most commonly contract worms after coming into contact with parasite eggs or infected feces. A cat may walk through an area with eggs or infected feces, and since cats are often such fastidious groomers, they will then ingest the eggs or fecal particles as they clean their fur and feet.

A conducting rod moves perpendicularly through a uniform magnetic field. How does the emf change if the magnetic field is increa

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

c) It increases by a factor of 8

Explanation:

According to Faraday's law (and Lenz' law), the induced EMF is given as the rate of change of magnetic flux.

Mathematically:

V = -dФ/dt

Magnetic flux, Ф, is given as:

Ф = BA

where B = magnetic field strength and A = Area of object

Hence, induced EMF becomes:

V = -d(BA)/dt or -BA/t

If the magnetic field is increased by a factor of 4, ( $B_n = 4B$ ) and the time required for the rod to move is decreased by a factor of 2 ( $t_n = t/2$ ), the induced EMF becomes:
