    Give a symbolic expression for submerging a metal in water

    Sorry for not writing what the variables stand for in the beginning. Yes, Wm is the weight of the metal. Yes, Vm is the volume of the metal. The change in reading of the scale will be pwVmg.

    At what phase is the heat capacity the greatest?

    For water the heat capacity is the greatest when it is a liquid. However is not water an exception? What is the overall rule?

    Give a symbolic expression for submerging a metal in water

    Before the metal is submerged in the water. Ft=W Submerged metal Fb+Ft=W Fb+Ft-W= (They cancel out) Fb= pwVdg= pwVmg To summarize everything. Is this correct?

    At what phase is the heat capacity the greatest?

    At what phase is the heat capacity the greatest? Is it when the substance is a solid, liquid or gas? Please also explain why. I believe that the heat capacity is the greatest when the subastance is a solid.

    Give a symbolic expression for submerging a metal in water

    Fb=Wm pw+Vd+g=mg pm+Vd+g=mg pm+Vd+g

    Give a symbolic expression for submerging a metal in water

    Yes, the symbols are correct. Fs+Fb+Ft=Ww Fs+Fb+Ft-Ww=0 Fs+Fb+Ft-Ww-(Fs-Ww)= Fs+Fb+Ft-Ww-Fs+Ww= Fb+Ft= pwVdg+Ft= Is this correct? How should I continue?

    Give a symbolic expression for submerging a metal in water

    In the lab you place a beaker that is half full of water (density pw) on a scale. You now use a light string to suspend a piece of metal of volume V in the water. The metal is completely submerged, and none of the water spills out of the beaker. Give a symbolic expression for the change in...

    How should I analyze results from electrophoresis?

    Hello! By performing electrophoresis, I have created a filter paper which shows the protein types from different species of fish, wild pig and chicken. Unfortunately, problems have arisen regarding the analysis of the results since most protein samples vary between 15 and 25 kilodaltons. Can you...

    Negative value when calculating the distance

    If I have understood this correctly, the solution should be this: 2aΔx=vf2- vo2 a=-µg 2 -µg Δx=vf2- vo2 vf=0 2 -µg Δx=- vo2 Δx=- vo2/2 -µg Δx=-252/(2×-0.95×9.8) Δx=33.6 m

    Negative value when calculating the distance

    A 1000 kg car traveling rightward at 25 m/s slams on the breaks and skids to a stop (with locked wheels). Find the distance required to stop it. Coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is 0.95. Let g=9.8 m/s^2 Solution: 2aΔx=vf2- vo2 a=µg 2 µg Δx=vf2- vo2 vf=0 2 µg Δx=-...
