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>

A hot air balloon lifts 50 meters vertically into the air and then comes back down. What are the displacement and distance of th

Marysya12 [62]

Given that a hot air balloon lifts 50 meters vertically into the air and then comes back down.

The displacement is the distance covered in a specific direction.

When the balloon is going up, the displacement is positive. and when the balloon is coming down, the displacement is negative.

The total displacement = 50 - 50 = 0

The distance is a measurement of length between to different points or position.

For distance, there is no need to consider direction. There is no consideration for positive or negative signs

While the distance = 50 + 50 = 100 meters

Therefore, the correct answer is C

That is, The displacement is zero and the distance is 100 meters

:What will be the value of the refractive index of the medium? Critical angle of that medium is 30 degree

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Let the second medium be air (n₁=1)

The refractive index n₂ of the medium where first medium is air is found (a)

(a) n₂ = 2

Explanation:

Critical angle can be defined as the angle of incidence that provides the angle of refraction of 90°.

Refractive index of a medium can be defined as a number that describes that how fast a light will travel through that medium.

Critical angle and Refractive index are related by:

$\theta_{critical}= sin^{-1}(\frac{n_1}{n_2})$

$sin \theta_{critical}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

To find refractive index of medium with respect to air, substitute n₁=1 (Refractive index of air is 1)

Also θ(critical)=30°

Find n₂ :

$sin30= \frac{1}{n_2}\\0.5=\frac{1}{n_2}\\n_2=\frac{1}{0.5}\\n_2=2$

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the

nydimaria [60]

Answer: a) the greater speed for the ball is getting with the large radius of the circle. b) 1.68* 10 ^3 m/s^2 c) 1.25*10^3 m/s^2

Explanation: In order to solve this problem firstly we have to consider that speed in a of the circular movement is directly the angular rotation multiply the radius of the circle so by this we found that the second radius get large speed.

Secondly to calculate the centripetal acceleration for the ball we have to considerer the relationship given by:

acceleration in a circular movement= ω^2*r

a1= (8.44 *2*π)^2*r1=1.68 *10^3 m/s^2

a2= (5.95*2*π)^2*r2=1.25*10^3 m/s^2
