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!

An electron accelerates through a 12.5 V potential difference, starting from rest, and then collides with a hydrogen atom, excit
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Initial state    Final state

     3           ⇒        2

     3           ⇒        1

     2          ⇒         1

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Bohr's atomic model

         E = - 13.606 / n²

where is the value of 13.606 eV is the energy of the ground state and n is the integer.

The energy acquired by the electron in units of electron volt (eV)

          E = e V

          E = 12.5 eV

all this energy is used to transfer an electron from the ground state to an excited state

        ΔE = 13.6060 (1 / n₀² - 1 / n²)

the ground state has n₀ = 1

       ΔE = 13.606 (1 -  1/n²)

        1 /n² = 1 - ΔE/13,606

         1 / n² = 1 - 12.5 / 13.606

         1 / n² = 0.08129

          n = √(1 / 0.08129)

          n = 3.5

 since n is an integer, maximun is

         n = 3

because it cannot give more energy than the electron has

From this level there can be transition to reach the base state.

 

Initial state    Final state

     3           ⇒        2

     3           ⇒        1

     2          ⇒         1

State three differences between solid friction and viscosity​
Mrrafil [7]
Difference between solid friction and viscosity is as follows: Viscosity is proportional to the surface area whereas solid friction is independent of area of solid surfaces in contact. Viscous force on the body depends upon its velocity in the viscous media. But, friction does not depend on the velocity of the body.
