)a rock is suspended from a scale reads 20.0 n. a beaker of water (having a density of 1000 kg/m3) is raised up so the rock is totally submerged in the water. the scale now reads . what is the density of the rock? a) 2.50 × 103 kg/m3 b) 1.60 × 103 kg/m3 c) 2.33 × 103 kg/m3 d) 2.67 × 103 kg/m3 e) 3.00 × 103 kg/m3

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?

There are two routes similar in terrain; however, one route has an incline of approximately 28 degrees, and you must decide on which route to take. what is the maximum road grade that your fully loaded ecv can climb?

Because air contracts as it cools, the air pressure inside a freezer is typically lower than on the outside. why do ice cubes inside a freezer tend to shrink over time? a. the ice dissolves oxygen from the air, forming a denser crystalline matrix. b. the ice reacts chemically with carbon dioxide in the air, forming gaseous carbon compounds. c. the ice melts, and then the liquid freezes as ice crystals on the bottom of the freezer. d. the ice sublimes, and then the water vapor deposits as ice crystals on the sides of the freezer.
