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 from 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

Thus, to convert the quantity in gm / cm³ into kg/m³, you need to multiply by 10³

2.33 gram / cm³

= 2.33 x 10³ kg / m³.

Person X pushes twice as hard against a stationary brick wall as person Y. Which one of the following statements is correct?
Keith_Richards [3271]

D) Both perform no work

Explanation:

The work accomplished by a force is defined as:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F represents the applied force

d denotes the displacement

is the angle highlighted between the applied force and the displacement vector

\thetaFrom this formula, it is clear that work is only done when displacement occurs, meaning the object has to move.

In this instance, as the wall is unmoving, the displacement is zero: d = 0, thus no work is performed.

Wire A has the same length and twice the radius of wire B. Both wires are made of the same material and carry the same current.
serg [3582]

Answer:

V_A= \frac{I_A}{n_A e A_A}= \frac{I}{ne 4A_B}= \frac{1}{4} \frac{I}{neA_B}

V_B= \frac{I_B}{n_B e A_B}= \frac{I}{ne A_B}

Consequently, we find that:

V_A = \frac{1}{4} V_B

Thus, the most suitable answer would be:

a. vA = vB/4

Explanation:

In this situation, we can establish the following conditions:

L_A = L_B =L both wires share the same length

both wires carry an identical currentI_A = I_B =I

Both wires are constructed of the same material, indicating that the electron density (n) remains constant across both wires

n_A = n_B =n

We also know that r_A = 2 r_B where r signifies the radius.

Given that wires are cylindrical in shape, we can determine the area for each case:

A_A= \pi r^2_A = \pi (2r_B)^2 = 4 \pi r^2_B= 4 A_B

A_B = \pi r^2_B

Thus, we conclude that

A_A = 4 A_B

Now we are aware that the drift velocity of an electron in a wire can be described by:

v_d = \frac{I}{neA}

Where I denotes the current, n is the electron density, e represents the electron charge, and A signifies the area.

By substituting, we arrive at:

V_A= \frac{I_A}{n_A e A_A}= \frac{I}{ne 4A_B}= \frac{1}{4} \frac{I}{neA_B}

V_B= \frac{I_B}{n_B e A_B}= \frac{I}{ne A_B}

So we observe that:

V_A = \frac{1}{4} V_B

Thus, the most fitting answer is:

a. vA = vB/4

Mike recently purchased an optical telescope. Identify the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is closest to the frequency
kicyunya [3294]
The electromagnetic spectrum spans from radio waves to gamma rays. The picture provided illustrates this entire spectrum. However, the optical telescope is limited to observing only the visible spectrum, which ranges from 400 nm to 700 nm. This segment reflects the colors of ROYGBIV, with red exhibiting the highest frequency and violet the lowest frequency.

Which phrase describes an atom?
kicyunya [3294]
<span>an atom is described as having a negatively charged electron cloud surrounding a positively charged nucleus, which is the correct choice.</span><span>

The nucleus contains electrically neutral neutrons and positively charged protons, establishing its positive charge. In contrast, electrons carry a negative charge. The electromagnetic force keeps the atoms bound to the nucleus.

In broad daylight, the size of your pupil is typically 3 mm. In dark situations, it expands to about 7 mm. How much more light c
Sav [3153]

Answer:

31.4 mm²

Explanation:

The ability of a telescope or eye to gather light can be expressed by the formula,

GDP=\pi } \frac{d^{2} }{4}

where d signifies the diameter of the pupil.

In bright daylight, the usual size of the pupil is 3 mm.

GDP_{b} =\pi \frac{3^{2} }{4}

Conversely, in darkness, the diameter typically enlarges to 7 mm.

GDP_{b} =\pi \frac{7^{2} }{4}

This indicates an increase in light-gathering capacity.

Increase=\pi \frac{49}{4} -\pi \frac{9}{4} \\Increase=31.4 mm^{2}

Thus, the amount of light the eye can capture is 31.4 mm².
