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>

Nearly all physics problems will use the unit m/s squared. Why are the seconds squared?
Artist 52 [7]
Seconds squared is the time unit of acceleration.  It represents the change in distance units per second per second. For example, 3 m/sec² means a distance covering 3 meters in the first second, then 9 meters in the 2nd second, and 37 meters in the third second. (3^1, 3^2, 3^3).

Acceleration is part of Newton's 2nd law: force = mass x acceleration. Units of work: joule = kg·m²/s², and power: watts = kg·m²/s³ all contain accelerations.

A car goes round a curve of radius 48m, the road is banked at an angle of 15 with the horizontal,at what maximum speed may the c
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

11 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are two forces acting on the car:

Weigh force mg pulling down

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the incline

Sum the forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

N cos θ − mg = 0

N = mg / cos θ

Sum the forces in the radial (+x) direction:

∑F = ma

N sin θ = m v² / r

Substitute and solve for v:

(mg / cos θ) sin θ = m v² / r

g tan θ = v² / r

v = √(gr tan θ)

Plug in values:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 48 m × tan 15°)

v = 11.2 m/s

Rounded to 2 significant figures, the maximum speed is 11 m/s.

What is folk remedies
mario62 [17]

A "folk" remedy is something you choose to eat, take, or do,
in order to correct some health issue, because your friend,
your grandmother, your religion, your shaman, your astrologer,
or your medicine man says that it's the right thing to do. 

It may or may not be effective, and it may or may not even be
safe.  What distinguishes it from mainstream medicine is that
its practices are based on hearsay, and have not been subjected
to scientific methods of investigation and evaluation.

Answer: I am pretty sure that you should pick radio waves.

Explanation: The scientist should use radio waves. I think this because you can use the radio waves to analyze the signals from outer space. This will work much better than anything there, to analyze it the best possible.

The best I could do.
