"What is the density of a rock (mass 75g) submerged in water which displaced by a volume of 37.5cm^3? SI units"

The density is defined as the measure of mass per unit volume:ρ = mVWhere: ρ =density, m=mass, V=volumeThe mass of the rock is given as 75 g, but we n...

"There is an oil tank that has a rectangular base of dimensions 2.4 m by 1.5 m. The tank is filled with oil of density 850 kg / m3 to a depth of 1.5 m. What is the mass of the oil?"

To solve this question, we have to first consider the formula of density, defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance:ρ = m/V    m=ρV...

Explain how red-shift provides evidence for the Big Bang theory.

The red shift is a consequence of the Doppler’s Effect, a phenomenon wherein waveforms that move away from an observer observe an increased wavelength - and hen...

"Explain the difference between the direction of the conventional current and the direction of electron flow."

The conventional current is the movement of charges from the positive terminal of the battery to the negative terminal of the battery. On the other hand, electr...

"the moon takes 27.3 days (2.36x10^6s) to orbit the earth . Calculate its distance from the earth . Take the mass of the earth to be 5.975x10^24kg."

To solve this question, we will use the idea of uniform circular motion - i.e. the moon circles around the earth because the gravitational force provides the ce...

Do the SUVAT equations work for acceleration that changes with time?

The simple answer to that is no - SUVAT equations work only when the acceleration is constant.That is because these equations have been derived using the underl...
