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 22.8 g.

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 22.8 g.

A major difference between AC and DC electricity is that A) the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction. B)

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

A) the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

C) the voltage in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

Explanation:

In DC current and voltage the direction of current will not change with time and it always remains the same.

So here in DC voltage and DC current the magnitude may change with time but the direction will always remain same

While in AC voltage and AC current the direction of AC will change with time

periodically.

So here magnitude and direction both will change in AC current and AC voltage.

so the correct answer is

A) the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

C) the voltage in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

What is the pressure at 5000 km below the surface of the earth

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The centre of the earth is harder to study than the centre of the sun." Temperatures in the lower mantle the reach around 3,000-3,500 degrees Celsius and the barometer reads about 125 gigapascals, about one and a quarter million times atmospheric pressure.

Which statement best describes insulators? Free electrons can move to other atoms Electrons within their atoms are strongly held

balandron [24]

Answer:

The statement that best describes insulators is "Electrons within their atoms are strongly held by the nuclei"

Explanation:

Atoms are constituted by a nucleus with positive charge (protons and neutrons), around which negative charges (electrons) revolve.

Substances that have a huge amount of "free electrons" that can move through the material are called conductors. This is due to the low resistance to the movement of the load or electric current.

Materials that do not conduct electricity are called insulators. In this case the electrons are strongly bound to the nucleus and cannot move freely. In this way a great resistance to the flow of electric current is offered.

Finally, semiconductors are the materials that can have electrical properties of conductors or insulators.

So the statement that best describes insulators is "Electrons within their atoms are strongly held by the nuclei"

A stone with a mass of 0.100kg rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A bullet of mass 2.50g traveling horizontally at 500

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of stone (M) = 0.100 kg

mass of bullet (m) = 2.50 g = 2.5 ×10 ⁻³ kg

initial velocity of stone ( $u_{stone}$ ) = 0 m/s

Initial velocity of bullet ( $u_{bullet}$ ) = (500 m/s)i

Speed of the bullet after collision ( $v_{bullet}$ ) = (300 m/s) j

Suppose we represent $(v_{stone})$ to be the velocity of the stone after the truck, then:

From linear momentum, the law of conservation can be applied which is expressed as:

$m*u_{bullet} + M*{u_{stone}}= mv_{bullet}+Mv_{stone}$

$(2.50*10^{-3} \ kg) (500)i+0 = (2.50*10^{-3} \ kg)(300 \ m/s)j + (0.100 \ kg)v_{stone}$

$(2.50*10^{-3} \ kg) (500)i- (2.50*10^{-3} \ kg)(300 \ m/s)j= (0.100 \ kg)v_{stone}$

$v_{stone}= (1.25\ kg.m/s)i-(0.75\ kg m/s)j$

$v_{stone}= (12.5\ m/s)i-(7.5\ m/s)j$

∴

The magnitude now is:

$v_{stone}=\sqrt{ (12.5\ m/s)^2-(7.5\ m/s)^2}$

$\mathbf{v_{stone}= 14.6 \ m/s}$

Using the tangent of an angle to determine the direction of the velocity after the struck;

Let θ represent the direction:

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\dfrac{-7.5}{12.5})$

$\mathbf{\theta = 30.96^0 \ below \ the \ horizontal\ level}$

In an internal combustion engine, heat flow into a gas causes it to .

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Along path BC of the Otto cycle, heat transfer Qh into the gas occurs at constant volume, causing a further increase in pressure and temperature. This process corresponds to burning fuel in an internal combustion engine, and takes place so rapidly that the volume is nearly constant.
