Of the two samples described in parts A and B, the sample of iron has more mass and feels heavier than the sample of gold. Does

this mean that the density of iron is greater? Explain.

No, it says nothing about their densities. OF COURSE you can have a piece of iron that's heavier than a piece of gold, or a bottle of Carbon-dioxide that's heavier than a bottle of water. Just play with the size of the samples, and you can cook up a box of feathers that's heavier than a box of rocks.

Densities can only be compared when both samples you're comparing have the SAME MASS.

Answer: Density is a ratio of mass to volume. Density can’t be determined with only one of these measurements. The previous examples show that the density of gold is greater than the density of iron, even though the iron sample has a higher mass.

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. A listener in front of both speakers hears a maximum sound intensity when sp
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

frequency of the sound = f = 1,030.3 Hz

phase difference = Φ = 229.09°

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data:

Xini = 0.540m

Xfin = 0.870m

v = 340m/s

Step 2: frequency of the sound (f)

f = v / λ

λ = Xfin - Xini = 0.870 - 0.540 = 0.33

f = 340 / 0.33

f = 1,030.3 Hz

Step 3: phase difference

phase difference = Φ

Φ = (2π/λ)*(Xini - λ) = (2π/0.33)* (0.540-0.33) = 19.04*0.21 = 3.9984

Φ = 3.9984 rad * (360°/2π rad)

Φ = 229.09°

Hope this helps!

A _______ property of gasoline is that it will _______ in air.
Misha Larkins [42]
A chemical property of gasoline is that it will burn in air. Gasoline is a substance that is used to power automobiles. Gasoline will oxidize in air which means that it reacts with oxygen in air. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

A(n) 1100 kg car is parked on a 4◦ incline. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Find the force of friction keeping the ca
igomit [66]

Answer:

Force of friction, f = 751.97 N

Explanation:

it is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1100 kg

It is parked on a 4° incline. We need to find the force of friction keeping the car from sliding down the incline.

From the attached figure, it is clear that the normal and its weight is acting on the car. f is the force of friction such that it balances the x component of its weight i.e.

f=mg\ sin\theta

f=1100\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\ sin(4)

f = 751.97 N

So, the force of friction on the car is 751.97 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
