Answer: SG = 2.67

Specific gravity of the sand is 2.67

Explanation:

Specific gravity = density of material/density of water

Given;

Mass of sand m = 100g

Volume of sand = volume of water displaced

Vs = 537.5cm^3 - 500 cm^3

Vs = 37.5cm^3

Density of sand = m/Vs = 100g/37.5 cm^3

Ds = 2.67g/cm^3

Density of water Dw = 1.00 g/cm^3

Therefore, the specific gravity of sand is

SG = Ds/Dw

SG = (2.67g/cm^3)/(1.00g/cm^3)

SG = 2.67

Specific gravity of the sand is 2.67

At room temperature, a typical person loses energy to the surroundings at the rate of 62 W. If this energy loss has to be made u
Alex_Xolod [135]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the given proportions of power and energy, as well as the energy conversion factor in Jules to Calories.

The power is defined as the amount of energy lost per second and whose unit is Watt. Therefore the energy loss rate given in seconds was

P = \frac{E}{t} \rightarrow E= Energy, t = time

P = 62W = 62 \frac{J}{s}

The rate of energy loss per day would then be,

P = 62\frac{J}{s} (\frac{86400s}{1day})

P = 5356800 \frac{J}{day}

That is to say that Energy in Jules per lost day is 5356800J

By definition we know that 1KCal = 4.184*10^{6}J

In this way the energy in Cal is,

E = 5356800J \frac{1KCal}{4.184*10^{6}J}

E = 1279.694 KCal

The number of kilocalories (food calories) must be 1279.694 KCal

Last year a baseball player made 63 errors. This year he made 42. What percent decrease was there in the number of errors commit
Crank

Answer:

33.33 %

Explanation:

given,

error last year = 63

error this year = 42

percent decrease in the error = ?

to find the percentage difference in the error formula used is

   = \dfrac{difference}{original}\times 100

   = \dfrac{63-42}{63}\times 100

   = \dfrac{21}{63}\times 100

   = 33.33 %

Percentage decrease in the number of error is equal to 33.33%.

The magnetic field around the head has been measured to be approximately 3.00×10−8 gauss . Although the currents that cause this
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

3.81972\times 10^{-7}\ A

Explanation:

B = Magnetic field = 3\times 10^{-8}\ G

d = Diameter of loop = 16 cm

r = Radius = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{16}{2}=8\ cm

i = Current

\mu_0 = Vacuum permeability = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m

The magnetic field of a loop is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0i}{2r}\\\Rightarrow i=\frac{B2r}{\mu_0}\\\Rightarrow i=\frac{3\times 10^{-8}\times 10^{-4}\times 2\times 0.08}{4\pi\times 10^{-7}}\\\Rightarrow i=3.81972\times 10^{-7}\ A

The current needed to produce such a field at the center of the loop is 3.81972\times 10^{-7}\ A
