ACTIVITY 3

I. Instruction: Answer the following as directed.

1. Calculate the density of a liquid whose mass is 10g and whose volume is
5ml. (3 points)

=> p = 2 g/mL

2. What is the specific gravity of the liquid in problem 1? (3 points)

 0.5

3. What is the pressure due to weight of the fluid in problem 1 if it is placed in a

tall glass and has a height of 10cm? (3 points)

4. Calculate the pressure due to weight of the fluid if an eyedropper is 2.5cm

filled with water? G is equal to 9.8m/sec2; density of water is equal to 1g/cc.
(3 points)

5. If the atmospheric pressure is 1x10 5 N/m2, what is the total pressure of

problem 4? (3 points)

6. Is work done to keep the earth revolving around the sun? explain (2 points)
 Work done by the earth is zero in this case. work= force * displacement
and displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final
point. Since the initial and final point is same as the earth starts from
some point and also complete an orbit at the same point, so there is no
displacement. hence, the work done is zero.

7. What is the work done when a 30 kg woman climbs the stairs, a 10-meter-
high flight of stairs? (3 points)
 294 N x 10 m
 = 2940 J

8. Does potential energy increase or decrease when a gas changes to liquid?

Explain (2 points)
 The potential energy increases, At a higher temperature, more
atoms/molecules are in excited electronic states. Higher electronic states
correspond to greater potential energy. Potential Energy is -2 times Kinetic
Energy. So actually, at higher temperature, when more atoms are in higher
electronic states, there is more potential energy and less kinetic energy (just
considering electronic enerbody

9. Why do you feel cool when your perspiration evaporates? (2 points)

 The sweat leaves your skin through tiny holes called pores.
When the sweat hits the air, the air makes it evaporate (this
 means it turns from a liquid to a vapor). As the sweat
evaporates off your skin, you cool down.

10. Why do ice cubes melt when they are placed outside the freezer? (2 points)
 When you take ice cubes out of the freezer, the melting
process begins right away because the air temperature
around the ice cubes is warmer than the temperature in the
freezer. The solid ice particles absorb heat energy from the
warmer air, giving the particles energy and enabling them to
move away from one another.

11. Why you cannot feel the pressure of air over your body? Explain (2 points)
 The reason we can't feel it is that the air within our bodies (in
our lungs and stomachs, for example) is exerting the same
pressure outwards, so there's no pressure difference and no
need for us to exert any effort.

12. Explain the Law of conservation of energy. (2 points)

 The law of conservation of energy states that energy can
neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one
form of energy to another. This means that a system always
has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the
outside. ... The only way to use energy is to transform energy
from one form to another.
