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>

Which of the following solutions should be chosen to help restore an ecosystem naturally? A. reintroducing an animal to the ecos
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A. reintroducing an animal to the ecosystem

Explanation:

As generally, all know that for restoring an ecosystem naturally, it requires reintroduction of an animal to the ecosystem. As though it helps in reimposing the ecosystem back, and also helps to improve our ecosystem in natural surroundings, natural terrain, and population density. Basically reintroducing an animal is also required for the balancing of the ecosystem. As everything requires a properly balanced nature.

Define orbital velocity
sveta [45]

the Orbital Velocity is the velocity sufficient to cause a natural or artificial satellite to remain in orbit. Inertia of the moving body tends to make it move on in a straight line, while gravitational force tends to pull it down. The orbital path, elliptical or circular, representing a balance between gravity and inertia, and it follows a rue that states that the more massive the body at the centre of attraction is, the higher is the orbital velocity for a particular altitude or distance.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The frequency of the pendulum is independent of the mass on the end. (c)

This means that it doesn't matter if you hang a piece of spaghetti or a school bus from the bottom end.  If there is no air resistance, and no friction at the top end, and the string has no mass, then the time it takes the pendulum to swing from one side to the other <u><em>only</em></u> depends on the <u><em>length</em></u> of the string.
