Answer:

v = 1130 cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of sample = ?

Mass of Al sample = 3.057 Kg (3.057 Kg× 1000g/1 Kg = 3057g)

Density of Al sample = 2.70 g/cm³

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v= volume

by putting values

2.70 g/cm³ = 3057g /v

v = 3057g /2.70 g/cm³

v = 1130 cm³

what happens to the particles in a gas when the temperature increases? How does this affect the pressure of the gas?

Tju [1.3M]

Hotter it gets the more the pressure, the particles start bouncing faster when it gets hotter, therefor making the pressure higher

1) A car is traveling down the interstate at 37.1 m/s. The driver sees a cop and quickly slows down. If the driver slows to 29.8

WITCHER [35]

1)

The acceleration of the car is the rate of change of velocity of the car; it can be calculated as:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity of the car to change from u to v

In this problem, for this car we have:

u = 37.1 m/s

v = 29.8 m/s

t = 3 s

So, the acceleration is:

$a=\frac{29.8-37.1}{3}=-2.43 m/s^2$

2)

The work done in lifting the box is equal to the potential energy transferred to the box during the process; it is given by:

$W=Fd$

where

F is the force applied

d is the displacement of the box

Here we have:

F = 87.3 N is the force applied

d = 2.04 m is the displacement of the box

So, the work done to lift the box is:

$W=(87.3)(2.04)=178.1 J$

3)

The power is the rate of work done per unit time. It is calculated as:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

where

W is the work done

t is the time taken to do the work

For the child in this problem, we have:

W = 1250 J is the work done by the child running up the stairs

P = 267 W is the power used

Therefore, re-arranging the equation, we find the time taken:

$t=\frac{W}{P}=\frac{1250}{267}=4.68 s$

4)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the rabbit in this problem, we have:

m = 8.642 kg is the mass of the rabbit

KE = 125.6 is its kinetic energy

Solving the formula for v, we find the speed of the rabbit:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(125.6)}{8.642}}=5.4 m/s$

5)

The efficiency of a machine is the ratio between the energy produced in output by the machine and the work done in input. Mathematically, it is given by

$\eta = \frac{E_{out}}{W_{in}}\cdot 100$

where

$E_{out}$ is the energy in output

$W_{in}$ is the work in input

For the machine in this problem,

$W_{in}=120 J$ is the work in input

$E_{out}=93 J$ is the energy in output

Therefore, the efficiency of this machine is:

$\eta=\frac{93}{120}\cdot 100=77.5\%$

6)

During a collision, the total momentum of the system is always conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 =(m_1+m_2)v$

where

$m_1=212 kg$ is the mass of the first car

$u_1=8.00 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the first car

$m_2=196 kg$ is the mass of the 2nd car

$u_2=6.75 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the 2nd car

$v$ is the final velocity of the two cars stuck together (after the collision, they move together)

Solving the equation for v, we find:

$v=\frac{m_1 u_1 +m_2 u_2}{m_1 +m_2}=\frac{(212)(8.00)+(196)(6.75)}{212+196}=7.40 m/s$

7)

The relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the wave equation:

$v=f\lambda$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the wave in the string in this problem we have:

$\lambda=0.23 m$ (wavelength)

f = 12 Hz (frequency)

So, the speed of the wave is:

$v=(12)(0.23)=2.76 m/s$

8)

The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is given by

$c=f\lambda$

where:

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

f is the frequency of the wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the wave

For the blue light in this problem, we have

$f=6.2\cdot 10^{14}Hz$ (frequency)

while the speed of light is

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

So, the wavelength of blue light is:

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{6.2\cdot 10^{14}}=4.8\cdot 10^{-7} m$

9)

The sound wave in this problem travels with uniform motion (=constant velocity), therefore we can use the following equation:

$d=vt$

where

d is the distance covered by the wave

v is the speed of the wave

t is the time elapsed

In this problem:

v = 343 m/s is the speed of the sound wave

t = 0.287 s is the time elapsed

So, the distance covered by the wave is

$d=(343)(0.287)=98.4 m$

Which best describes how Dalton's early theory of atomic structure differs with modern theories? He did not know -

Alja [10]

<span>John Dalton introduced a theory proposing that elements vary because of the mass of their atoms.
He said in his theory that all matter is made up of indivisible blocks called atoms. He also stipulated in his theory that elements are identical thus, have different sizes and masses.
Dalton's theory was different from Niels Bohr who proposed a new atomic model which was also commonly known as the modern atomic theory. Bohr's theory says that atoms are arranged in circular orbits around the nucleus. He patterned his model as the solar system.

A certain protein was found to contain 0.292% manganese by mass. Determine the minimum molecular mass of the protein.

Lisa [10]

$55u \ \ \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ \ 0,292\%\\
x \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ \ 100\%\\\\
x = \frac{55u*100\%}{0,292\%}\approx18835,62u$
