An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in

a lunar module parked on the Moon where the gravitation force is 1/6 that of Earth, the ice in the same soft drink would float:A) with more than 9/10 submerged. B) with 9/10 submerged.C) with 6/10 submerged.D) totally submerged.

Answer:

B) with 9/10 submerged

Explanation:

m = mass of ice cube

\rho = density of soft drink

V = Volume of soft drink displaced

ice cube floats in the soft drink when the force of buoyancy on it balances its weight. Force of buoyancy acting on the cube in upward direction is same as the weight of the soft drink displaced. hence we can write

weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

mg = \rho V g

m = \rho V

we see that the acceleration due to gravity cancel out both side and hence it does affect as astronaut is on earth on in a lunar module.

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of ice block submerged om earth = 9 / 10

According to the floating principle

The weight of the body is balanced by the buoyant force acting on the block.

Let V be the total volume of the block and d be the density of ice and ρ be the density of soft drink.

So, V x d x g = 9 / 10 V x ρ x g

So g cancels out from both the sides.

If we place the ice cube in soft drink on the surface of moon, then the volume submerged remains same.

If you wished to warm 100 kg of water by 15 degrees celsius for your bath, how much heat would be required? (give your answer in
Anit [1.1K]
For the answer to the question above, 
<span>Q = amount of heat (kJ) </span>
<span>cp = specific heat capacity (kJ/kg.K) = 4.187 kJ/kgK </span>
<span>m = mass (kg) </span>
<span>dT = temperature difference between hot and cold side (K). Note: dt in °C = dt in Kelvin </span>

<span>Q = 100kg * (4.187 kJ/kgK) * 15 K </span>
<span>Q = 6,280.5 KJ = 6,280,500 J = 1,501,075.5 cal</span>

What mass needs to be attached to a spring with a force constant of 7N/m in order to make a simple harmonic oscillator oscillate
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Mass will be 4.437 kg

Explanation:

We have given force constant k = 7 N/m

Time period of oscillation T = 5 sec

So angular frequency \omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{5}=1.256rad/sec

We know that angular frequency is given by

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

1.256 =\sqrt{\frac{7}{m}}

Squaring both side

1.577 =\frac{7}{m}

m = 4.437 kg

Which of these properties of an object best quantifies its inertia: velocity, acceleration, volume, mass, or temperature?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

Inertia is essentially an object's tendency to stay in motion or at rest unless it is forced to do otherwise (pun intended). It only makes sense to me that mass would best quantify an object's inertia, because an object with more mass would be harder to move and/or stop from moving.

A charge Q is uniformly spread over one surface of a very large nonconducting square elastic sheet having sides of length d. At
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

E/4

Explanation:

The formula for electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:

E = σ/(2ε₀)

Where;

E is the electric field

σ is the surface charge density

ε₀ is the electric constant.

Formula to calculate σ is;

σ = Q/A

Where;

Q is the total charge of the sheet

A is the sheet's area.

We are told the elastic sheet is a square with a side length as d, thus ;

A = d²

So;

σ = Q/d²

Putting Q/d² for σ in the electric field equation to obtain;

E = Q/(2ε₀d²)

Now, we can see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d i.e.

E ∝ 1/d²

The electric field at P has some magnitude E. We now double the side length of the sheet to 2L while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet.

From the relationship of E with d, the magnitude of electric field at P will now have a quarter of its original magnitude which is;

E_new = E/4

Physics help, please? :)
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

3. Newton’s third law explains how every action has an equal but opposite reaction, meaning that forces comes in pairs. While the locomotive’s wheels are pushing back against the ground as the action force, the ground is producing a reaction force towards the locomotive, propelling it forward. Another pair of forces that act on the locomotive is gravity and normal force. While gravity is pulling the locomotive towards the ground, the normal force the ground exerts on the locomotive is why the locomotive doesn’t fall through the ground.

4. The force of Earth’s gravity on the Sun is weaker than the force of the Sun’s gravity on Earth. The Sun’s attraction  affects the motion of Earth more than the Earth’s attraction affects the Sun’s motion because according to  Newton’s second law, force has mass as one of its factors. The Sun has a significantly higher mass than Earth,  meaning that its force of gravity would also be significantly higher. Newton’s third law is why the Earth doesn’t get  marginally closer to the Sun, stating that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. As the Sun is pulling  Earth towards itself, Earth is pulling away from the Sun.
