You need to determine the density of an unknown liquid and decide to perform an experiment. You notice that a wooden block float

Allushta [10]

Answer:

pu = 1260.9kg/m^3

the density of the unknown liquid is 1260.9kg/m^3

Explanation:

The density of a liquid is inversely proportional to the volume (height) of object submerged in it.

High density liquid possess higher buoyant force preventing objects from submerging.

p ∝ 1/V ∝ 1/h

since V = Ah

pu/pw = hw/hu

pu = pwhw/hu

Where;

p = density

h = height submerged

pu and pw is the density of unknown liquid and water respectively

hu and hw is the height of object submerged in unknown liquid and water respectively

pw = 1000kg/m^3

hu = 4.6cm = 0.046m

hw = 5.8cm = 0.058m

Substituting the given values;

pu = 1000×0.058/0.046

pu = 1260.9kg/m^3

the density of the unknown liquid is 1260.9kg/m^3

Why is it important for a muscle to be attached to a fixed origin at one end and a moving insertion at the other? Discuss how th

vlabodo [156]

Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.

A satellite that orbits Earth with a speed of v0 must be in an orbit of radius 8RE to maintain a circular orbit, where RE is the

NISA [10]

Answer:

1.024 × 10⁸ m

Explanation:

The velocity v₀ of the orbit 8RE is v₀ = 8REω where ω = angular speed.

So, ω = v₀/8RE

For the orbit with radius R for it to maintain a circular orbit and velocity 2v₀, we have

2v₀ = Rω

substituting ω = v₀/8RE into the equation, we have

2v₀ = v₀R/8RE

dividing both sides by v₀, we have

2v₀/v₀ = R/8RE

2 = R/8RE

So, R = 2 × 8RE

R = 16RE

substituting RE = 6.4 × 10⁶ m

R = 16RE

= 16 × 6.4 × 10⁶ m

= 102.4 × 10⁶ m

= 1.024 × 10⁸ m

An experiment to measure the speed of light uses an apparatus similar to Fizeau's. The distance between the light source and the

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

$2.88*10^{8} m/s$

Explanation:

The speed of light is given by

$c=\frac {2d}{t}$ and $t=\frac {\theta}{\omega}$ hence

$c=\omega\frac {2d}{\theta}$

Speed of light is given by

$c=900\times 2\pi(\frac {2\times 10}{\frac {2\pi}{2*800}}})=2.88*10^{8} m/s$

If in a vernier callipers 10 VSD coincides with 8 MSD then the least count of varnier calliper is

ratelena [41]

Answer:0.2mm

Explanation:

The length of one VSD=8/10=0.8mm

The least count of the instrument is the difference between the length of one MSD and length of one VSD

The length of inebriated MSD=1mm

Therefore,

The least count=1-0.8=0.2mm
