Apr 8, 2016 · Tends to be more of a cultural expression than one of physics - any act that appears to defy what we understand about gravity. Some cultural examples might be: high wire trapeze artists who appear to "defy gravity" or magicians how appear to "defy gravity" by floating someone in mid-air unsupported. In all of these cases, there is no gravity defying, but a reasonable …

Apr 2, 2016 · Gravity works the same way in water that it works in air or a vacuum -- but you have to consider the force of gravity on the water as well as on the object you put into it. When you put something in water, gravity can pull the object down through the water only if an equal volume of water is allowed to go up against the force of gravity; this is called displacement. In effect …

Jun 9, 2018 · There is a law of gravitation and also a theory of gravitation. In physics a law describes a natural phenomenon, but does not attempt to describe how it works. Newton's law of gravitation describes the attractive force F between two bodies with masses m_1 and m_2, which are a distance r apart. F=(Gm_1m_2)/r^2 Where G is the gravitational constant. This is a law …

Mass is conserved rather than created or destroyed so when a chemical equation is written, it must be balanced so that there is the same amount of reactants going in as yielded product. The equation is balanced by changing the scalar numbers that precede each part of the equation.

Jan 27, 2014 · See explanation. If all you are given is Molarity, then you also need to know the density of the solution to calculate molality, m (mol/kg solvent). The easiest way to understand the process is to assume you have 1L of solution which is 1000 mL. Think of the units of molarity and molality. So here is an example: What is the molality of a "3.00 M" solution of "NaCl"? The …

Mar 21, 2014 · The acceptability of a percent error depends on the application. > In some cases, the measurement may be so difficult that a 10 % error or even higher may be acceptable.

The specific heat capacity of platinum is 0.032 cal/g·K. How to calculate the heat, in joules, necessary to raise the temperature of a sample of platinum weighing 20.0 g from 15.0 Celsius to 65.0 Celsius?

Mar 27, 2014 · You multiply the molarity by the number of osmoles that each solute produces. An osmole (Osmol) is 1 mol of particles that contribute to the osmotic pressure of a solution. For example, "NaCl" dissociates completely in water to form "Na"^+ ions and "Cl"^- ions. Thus, each mole of "NaCl" becomes two osmoles in solution: one mole of "Na"^+ and one mole of "Cl"^-". …

Dec 2, 2014 · Density is the mass per unit of volume of a substance. The density equation is: "Density" = "Mass"/"Volume" To solve the equation for Mass, rearrange the equation by multiplying both sides times Volume in order to isolate Mass, then plug in your known values (Density and Volume). Then solve for Mass. "Mass" = "Density x Volume" Example The …
