If there is a huge boulder on your lawn and you want to determine its density, but it is

We should use the density formula.

\\ \sf\longmapsto p=\dfrac{m}{v}

  • p stands for density
  • m stands for mass
  • v stands for density.

Density has SI units namely kg/m^3.

There are different options here but all of them work by approximating and assuming.

i) that the boulder is above ground.

ii) that the bottom surface of the boulder is known.

iii) the shape of the boulder is taken into account.

The most accurate way is measuring it by displacement method but the boulder is immovable hence the volume can be calculated by measuring the boulder or a waterproof box to be built around the boulder and calculate the volume occupied by boulder.

All the above methods are estimating methods.

*Another way to find the density is through specific gravity.

S.G = <u>Density</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>object</u>

Density of water

If the material that makes the boulder is known that is if it's stone or a mineral then the specific gravity can be found.

If the boulder is purely rock then S.G lies between 3 - 3.5 and the density of water is known thus the density of the boulder can be found without moving the boulder.

This is what I think after correction and allthe best!

How many atoms are represented by one formula unit of aluminum sulfite, al2(so3)3?
ratelena [41]
Formula unit is the empirical formula of an ionic or a covalent compound. It is the chemical formula that gives the proportions of the elements present in a certain compound however it does not give the actual numbers or the arrangement of the atoms. For this case, there are 14 atoms of different elements that is involved in the compound.

(a) If a long rope is hung from a ceiling and waves are sent. up the rope from its lower end, why does the speed of the waves ch
vazorg [7]

My response to question (a) and (b) is that all of the element of the rope need to  aid or support the weight of the rope and as such, the tension will tend to increase along with height.

Note that It increases linearly, if the rope is one that do not stretch. So, the wave speed v= √ T/μ   increases with height.

<h3>How does tension affect the speed of a wave in a rope?</h3>

The Increase of the tension placed on a string is one that tends to increases the speed of a wave, which in turn also increases the frequency of any given length.

Therefore,  My response to question (a) and (b) is that all of the element of the rope need to  aid or support the weight of the rope and as such, the tension will tend to increase along with height.  Note that It increases linearly, if the rope is one that do not stretch. So, the wave speed v= √ T/μ   increases with height.

Could you explain to me how the soccer collects kinetic energy when its kicked?
aniked [119]
FOR THAT YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ACTUALLY KINETIC ENERGY IS.
It is a form of energy which is caused due to motion, when the ball is kicked, it is send into motion thus it gains kinetic energy, how come energy came from ? as you have already read this ENERGY MASS CANT BE CREATED OR DESTROYED. In this scenario the energy is being transferred by the football player into the ball which appears as the kinetic energy of the ball... that's how it works
