You would like to know whether silicon will float in mercury and you know that can determine this based on their densities. Unfo

rtunately, you have the density of mercury in units of kilogram-meter^3 and the density of silicon in other units: 2.33 gram-centimeter^3. You decide to convert the density of silicon into units of kilogram-meter^3 to perform the comparison.
By which combination of conversion factors will you multiply 2.33 gram-centimeter^3 to perform the unit conversion?

Answer:

Explanation:

To convert gram / centimeter³ to kg / m³

gram / centimeter³

= 10⁻³ kg / centimeter³

= 10⁻³  / (10⁻²)³ kg / m³

= 10⁻³ / 10⁻⁶ kg / m³

= 10⁻³⁺⁶ kg / m³

= 10³ kg / m³

So we shall have to multiply be 10³ with amount in gm / cm³ to convert it into kg/m³

2.33 gram / cm³

= 2.33 x 10³ kg / m³ .

A metal sphere of radius 2.0 cm carries an excess charge of 3.0 μC. What is the electric field 6.0 cm from the center of the sph
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The electric field is  E = 7.5 *10^{6} \ N/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The radius of the metal sphere is  R = 2.0 \ cm  =  0.02 \ m

     The excess charge which the metal sphere carries is  q =  3.0 \mu C  =  3.0*10^{-6} \ C

      The distance of the position being to the center is D = 6.0 \ cm  = 0.06 \ m

       The coulomb constant is   k =9*10^{9} \  N \cdot m^2 /C^2

Generally the electric field is mathematically represented as  

        E = \frac{k *  q}{D^2}

substituting values

        E = \frac{9*10^{9} *  30.*10^{-6}}{(0.06)^2}

      E = 7.5 *10^{6} \ N/C

A Styrofoam slab has thickness h and density ρs. When a swimmer of mass m is resting on it, the slab floats in fresh water with
sattari [20]
 <span>A = area of styrofoam 
M = mass of stryofoam = A*h*rho_s 
m = mass of swimmer 

Total mass = m + M = m + A*h*rho_s 
Downward force = g*(total mass) = g*[m + A*h*rho_s] 

The slab is completely submerged. 
Buoyant force = g*(mass of water displaced) = g*[A*h*rho_w] 

Equate these 
g*[m + A*h*rho_s] = g*[A*h*rho_w] 
m + A*h*rho_s = A*h*rho_w 
A*h*[rho_w - rho_s] = m 
A = m/[h*(rho_w - rho_s)]</span>

A flat metal washer is heated. As the washer's temperature increases, what happens to the hole in the center? A flat metal washe
jenyasd209 [6]

answer;

The hole in the center of the washer will expand

explanation;

<em>A flat metal washer is heated. As the washer's temperature increases, what happens to the hole in the center? A flat metal washer is heated. As the washer's temperature increases, what happens to the hole in the center? The hole in the center will remain the same size. Changes in the hole cannot be determined without know the composition of the metal. The hole in the center of the washer will expand. The hole in the center of the washer will contract.</em>

this is an example of area expansivity.

coefficient of area expansivity is change in area per area per degree rise in temperature

a=dA/(A*dt)

as the temperature rises , there will be volumetric and area expansivity on the body. volume also increases because of the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecule is now getting apart.

On a cold winter day when the temperature is −20∘C, what amount of heat is needed to warm to body temperature (37 ∘C) the 0.50 L
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

75.6J

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem we must use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the heat required to heat the air is the difference between the energy levels of the air when it enters and when it leaves the body,

Given the above we have the following equation.

Q=(m)(h2)-(m)(h1)

where

m=mass=1.3×10−3kg.

h2= entalpy at 37C

h1= entalpy at -20C

Q=m(h2-h1)

remember that the enthalpy differences for the air can approximate the specific heat multiplied by the temperature difference

Q=mCp(T2-T1)

Cp= specific heat of air = 1020 J/kg⋅K

Q=(1.3×10−3)(1020)(37-(-20))=75.6J
