5000

There are 1000 milligrams (mg) in one gram. Therefore, to convert mg to grams, we divide the number of mg by 1000. In this case, we have 5,000 mg, so we divide 5,000 by 1000 to get 5 grams.

Explanation

There are 1000 milligrams (mg) in one gram. Therefore, to convert mg to grams, we divide the number of mg by 1000. In this case, we have 5,000 mg, so we divide 5,000 by 1000 to get 5 grams.

A quantity completely specified by means of magnitude and direction

Graph

Vector

Speed

Distance

A vector is a quantity that is completely specified by its magnitude (or size) and its direction. This means that in order to fully describe a vector, you need to know both how big it is and in which direction it is pointing. In contrast, other options like graph, speed, and distance do not have a direction associated with them and therefore do not fit the definition of a vector.

0.000073 kg

There are 1000 milligrams in 1 gram, and 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, to convert milligrams to kilograms, we divide by 1,000,000 (1000 x 1000). In this case, 73 milligrams divided by 1,000,000 equals 0.000073 kilograms.

Explanation

There are 1000 milligrams in 1 gram, and 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, to convert milligrams to kilograms, we divide by 1,000,000 (1000 x 1000). In this case, 73 milligrams divided by 1,000,000 equals 0.000073 kilograms.

One yard is equal to three feet, and one foot is equal to 12 inches. Therefore, to find the number of centimeters in one yard, we need to convert inches to centimeters. Since one inch is equal to 2.54 cm, 12 inches (one foot) is equal to 30.48 cm. And since one yard is three feet, we multiply 30.48 cm by 3, which gives us 91.44 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 91.44 cm.

The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height. In this case, the diameter is given as 6 cm, so the radius would be half of that, which is 3 cm. The height is given as 3 cm. Plugging these values into the formula, we get V = π(3^2)(3) = 27π ≈ 84.8 cubic centimeters.

In this case, the length is given as 500 cm, the width is given as 0.001 km (which is equal to 100 cm), and the height is given as 2 meters (which is equal to 200 cm). Multiplying these values together, we get 500 cm * 100 cm * 200 cm = 10,000,000 cm^3. Therefore, the volume of the rectangular solid is 10.

Temperature is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude and no direction. Scalar quantities are those that can be fully described by their magnitude alone, such as temperature, mass, and time. On the other hand, force, acceleration, and velocity are vector quantities because they have both magnitude and direction.

What happens to the volume of a cone if its radius is reduced by half and its height is quadrupled?

The volume becomes 1/4 that of the original

The volume becomes 4 times that of the original

The volume becomes 1/2 that of the original

The volume remains constant

When the radius of a cone is reduced by half and its height is quadrupled, the volume of the cone remains constant. This is because the formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. When the radius is reduced by half, the term (1/3)πr^2 becomes (1/3)π(1/2r)^2 = (1/3)π(1/4)r^2 = (1/12)πr^2. At the same time, when the height is quadrupled, the term h becomes 4h. Therefore, the new volume is (1/12)πr^2 * 4h = (1/3)πr^2h, which is equal to the original volume.

Which is the most accurate instrument of measuring length

Vernier calipermeterstickvernier caliperruler

Ruler

Micrometer caliper

Meterstick

A micrometer caliper is the most accurate instrument for measuring length because it has a higher precision and can measure to a smaller degree of accuracy compared to other instruments such as a ruler or meterstick. The micrometer caliper has a smaller scale and can measure down to the micrometer level, making it suitable for precise measurements in various fields such as engineering, manufacturing, and scientific research.

A box is 30 cm long, 5 cm wide, and 10 cm high. If it has a mass of 30 g, what is its density?

20 g/ cm3

0.02 g

0.02 N

20 kg/m3

The density of an object is calculated by dividing its mass by its volume. In this case, the mass of the box is given as 30 g. To find the volume, we multiply the length, width, and height of the box, which gives us 30 cm x 5 cm x 10 cm = 1500 cm3. Dividing the mass of 30 g by the volume of 1500 cm3, we get a density of 0.02 g/cm3. However, the answer is given in kg/m3, so we need to convert the units. Since 1 kg = 1000 g and 1 m3 = 1,000,000 cm3, we can convert the density to 0.02 g/cm3 x (1 kg/1000 g) x (1,000,000 cm3/1 m3) = 20 kg/m3.

A bottle of vitamin C contains 100 tablets and weighs 80 g. If the bottle alone weighs 23 g. If the bottle alone weighs 23 g

What is the mass of a tablet ( in g)?

0.32

The mass of the bottle alone is 23 g. Therefore, the total mass of the bottle and the tablets is 80 g. To find the mass of a tablet, we subtract the mass of the bottle from the total mass. So, 80 g - 23 g = 57 g. Since there are 100 tablets in the bottle, we divide the total mass of the tablets (57 g) by the number of tablets (100) to find the mass of a single tablet. 57 g / 100 = 0.57 g. Therefore, the mass of a tablet is 0.57 g.

Explanation

The mass of the bottle alone is 23 g. Therefore, the total mass of the bottle and the tablets is 80 g. To find the mass of a tablet, we subtract the mass of the bottle from the total mass. So, 80 g - 23 g = 57 g. Since there are 100 tablets in the bottle, we divide the total mass of the tablets (57 g) by the number of tablets (100) to find the mass of a single tablet. 57 g / 100 = 0.57 g. Therefore, the mass of a tablet is 0.57 g.
