Answer: 22.8 g


Explanation:


1) density = mass / volume ⇒ mass = density × volume


2) density of magnesium = 1.74 g/cm³ (from internet)


3) volume of a block = length × width × depth

  volume of the magnesium block = 2.5cm × 3.5 cm × 1.5 cm = 13.125 cm³


4) mass of the magnesium block = 1.74 g/cm³ × 13.125 cm³ = 22.8375 g.


Rounding to 3 significant figures, mass = 22.8 g ← answer

The mass of the magnesium block is found to be <u> 22.8 g.</u>

Density of a substance is defined as mass per unit volume.

Calculate the volume V of the magnesium block using the dimensions given in the problem.

V=(2.5cm)(3.5cm)(1.5cm)\\ =13.125cm^3

Magnesium has a density ρ of 1.74g/cm³. This can be taken from the standard tables.

Since density is mass per unit volume,

\rho=\frac{m}{V}

The mass of the block is therefore given by,

m=\rho V

Substitute  1.74g/cm³for  ρ and 13.125 cm³for V.

m=\rho V=(1.74g/cm^3)(13.125cm^3)=22.8375g

The mass of the magnesium block is found to be <u> 22.8 g.</u>

sesenic [268]
The difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker is that a fuse is a one time circuit element while a circuit breaker is a multiple use device. If you were designing a circuit for a reading lamp, you should include a circuit breaker so you don't have to replace it every time.

Observe the two scenarios involving electrically charged objects. Predict what will happen when you bring the objects close toge
Margarita [4]

Answer:

When one object is rubbed against another, static electricity can be created. This is because the rubbing creates a negative charge that is carried by electrons. The electrons can build up to produce static electricity. For example, when you shuffle your feet across a carpet, you are creating many surface contacts between your feet and the carpet, allowing electrons to transfer to you, thereby building up a static charge on your skin. When you touch another person or an object, you can suddenly discharge the static as an electrical shock.

Explanation:

Similarly, when you rub a balloon on your head it causes opposite static charges to build up both on your hair and the balloon. Consequently, when you pull the balloon slowly away from your head, you can see these two opposite static charges attracting one another and making your hair stand up.
