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>

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

n = 1.4

Explanation:

Given,

R1 = 18 cm, R2 = -18 cm

From lens makers formula

1/f = (n - 1)(1/18 + 1/18) = (n-1)/9

f = 9/(n-1)

Power, P = 1/f ( in m) = (n-1)/0.09

Now, this lens is in with conjunction with a concave mirror which then can be thought of as to be in conjunction with another thin lens

Power of concave mirror = P' = 1/f ( in m) = 2/R = 2/0.18 = 1/0.09

Net power of the combination = 2P + P' = 2(n-1)/0.09 + 1/0.09 = 1/0.05

n = 1.4

If a system has 475 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00 × 102 kJ of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in int
Andrews [41]
First, we convert kcal to joules:
1 kcal = 4.184 kJ
475 kcal = 1987.4 kJ

Now, calculating the change in internal energy:

ΔU = Q + W; where Q is the heat supplied to the system and W is the work done on the system.

ΔU = -500 + 1987.4
ΔU = 1487.4 kJ
