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>

What are the advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuits?
DerKrebs [107]
Parallel circuit

Advandages: 1. Every unit that is connected in a parallel circuit gets equal amount of voltage.

2. It becomes easy to connect or disconnect a new element without affecting the working of other elements.

3. If any fault happened to the circuit, then also the current is able to pass through the circuit through different paths.

Disadvantages: 1. It requires the use of lot of wires.

2. We cannot increase or multiply the voltage in a parallel circuit.
3. Parallel connection fails at the time when it is required to pass exactly same amount of current through the units.

series circuit

Advantages: 1. Series circuits do not overheat easily. This makes them very useful in the case of something that might be around a potentially flammable source, like dry plants or cloth.

2. Series circuits are easy to learn and to make. Their simple design is easy to understand, and this means that it’s simple to conduct repairs .

3. we can add more power devices, they have a higher output in terms of voltage .

4. The current that flows in a series circuit has to flow through every component in the circuit. Therefore, all of the components in a series connection carry the same current.

Disadvantages: 1.If one point breaks in the series circuit,the total circuit will break.

2. As the number of components in a circuit increases ,greater will be the circuit resistance.

According to Charles' law, as the temperature of a given gas at constant pressure is increased, the volume will also
Alenkasestr [34]

A modern statement of Charles's law is: When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be in direct proportion. ... The equation shows that, as absolute temperature increases, the volume of the gas also increases in proportion.

A large spool in an electrician's workshop has 55 m of insulation coated wire coiled around it. when the electrician connects a
goblinko [34]

Answer:

21.2 m

Explanation:

The current in the wire is given by Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where V is the voltage of the battery and R is the resistance of the wire.

The resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire, so we can write:

R=kL

where k is a constant and L is the length of the wire. Substituting into the first equation,

I=\frac{V}{kL}

We can rewrite this equation also as

\frac{V}{k}=IL

where the term on the left is a constant (because the voltage of the battery does not change). So, we can write:

I_1 L_1 = I_2 L_2

where:

I_1 = 1.0 A is the current in the first situation

L_1 = 55 m is the length of the wire in the first situation

I_2 = 2.6 A is the current in the second situation

L_2=? is the length of the wire in the second situation

Re-arranging the formula, we can find the value of L2:

L_2 = \frac{I_1 L_1}{I_2}=\frac{(1.0 A)(55 m)}{2.6 m}=21.2m
