<em>Answer:</em>

Simple, there could be air in the package and volume would record that, whereas mass would count the mass of the cereal and discount the air.

Suppose you are drinking root beer from a conical paper cup. The cup has a diameter of 10 centimeters and a depth of 13 centimet

sveta [45]

Answer:

The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of the cone is :

$V=\frac {1}{3}\times \pi\times r^2\times h$

Where, V is the volume of the cone

r is the radius of the cone

h is the height of the cone

The ratio of the radius and the height remains constant in overall the cone.

Thus, given that, r = d / 2 = 10 / 2 cm = 5 cm

h = 13 cm

r / h = 5 / 13

r = {5 / 13} h

$V=\frac {1}{3}\times \frac {22}{7}\times ({{{\frac {5}{13}\times h}}})^2\times h$

$V=\frac {550}{3549}\times h^3$

Also differentiating the expression of volume w.r.t. time as:

$\frac {dV}{dt}=\frac {550}{3549}\times 3\times h^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}$

Given: $\frac {dV}{dt}$ = -4 cm³/sec (negative sign to show leaving)

h = 10 cm

So,

$-4=\frac{550}{3549}\times 3\times {10}^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}$

$\frac{55000}{1183}\times \frac {dh}{dt}=-4$

$\frac {dh}{dt}=-0.08603\ cm/s$

<u>The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.</u>

What's the opposite of vaporization

Nesterboy [21]

Condensation. Remember, Vaporization happens when energy is taken in (enfothermic) the opposite will be the process that releases energy ( exothermic) which will be condensation. Put ice in a glass of water. the ice melts, taking in energy from the water in the glass, which in turn takes heat energy away from the vapor in the surrounding air, thus causing the water vapor in the air to condense.

A 0.950 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 16.0 N/m . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it w

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass attached m = 0.95kg

Spring constant k = 16N/m

Instantaneous speed v = 36cm/s = 0.36m/s

Amplitude A=?

When x = 0.7A

Using conservation of energy

∆K.E + ∆P.E = 0

K.E(final) — K.E(initial) + P.E(final) — P.E(initial) = 0

At the beginning immediately the hammer hits the mass, the potential energy is 0J, Therefore, P.E(initial) = 0J, so the speed is maximum.

Also, at the end, at maximum displacement, the speed is zero, therefore, K.E(final) = 0

So, the equation becomes

— K.E(initial) + P.E(final) = 0

K.E(initial) = P.E(final)

½mv² = ½kA²

mv² = kA²

0.95 × 0.36² = 16×A²

0.12312 = 16•A²

A² = 0.12312/16

A² = 0.007695

A = √0.007695

A = 0.088 m

A = 8.8cm

B. Speed at x = 0.7A

Using the same principle above

K.E(initial) = P.E(final)

½mv² = ½kA²

Where A = 0.7A = 0.7 × 0.088 = 0.0614m

Then,

½× 0.95 × v² = ½ × 16 × 0.0614²

0.475v² = 0.0310644

v² = 0.0310644/0.475

v² = 0.0635

v = √0.0635

v = 0.252 m/s

v = 25.2 cm/s

Why do individuals have different traits

Gwar [14]

Individuals have different traits because they are not twins so they should not be alike also because people have different genes witch would give them different traits. For example not every individual has blonde hair and blue eyes because they did not inherit those traits.
