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

s in this liquid with 4.6 cm of the side of the block submerged. Then you place the same block in water and notice that it also floats but with 5.8 cm submerged. What is the density of the unknown liquid.

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

A rectangular loop of wire of width 10 cm and length 20 cm has a current of 2.5 A flowing through it. Two sides of the loop are
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

(a) 0.05 Am^2

(b) 1.85 x 10^-3 Nm

Explanation:

width, w = 10 cm = 0.1 m

length, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Current, i = 2.5 A

Magnetic field, B = 0.037 T

(A) Magnetic moment, M = i x A

Where, A be the area of loop

M = 2.5 x 0.1 x 0.2 = 0.05 Am^2

(B) Torque, τ = M x B x Sin 90

τ = 0.05 x 0.037 x 1

τ = 1.85 x 10^-3 Nm

Dylan has two cubes of iron. The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube. He measures the smaller cube. Its mass is 2
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The volume of the larger cube is 5.08 g/cm³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of smaller cube = 20 g

Density of smaller cube \rho= 7.87 g/cm^2

Dylan has two cubes of iron.

The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube.

M_{l}=2m_{s}

Density is same for both cubes because both cubes are same material.

The density is equal to the mass divided by the volume.

\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}

V=\dfrac{m}{\rho}

Where, V = volume

m = mass

\rho=density

We need to calculate the volume of smaller mass

The volume of smaller mass

V_{s}=\dfrac{m_{s}}{\rho_{s}}

V_{s}=\dfrac{20}{7.87}

V_{s}=2.54\ cm^3

Now, We need to calculate the volume of large cube

V_{l}=\dfrac{m_{l}}{\rho_{l}}

V_{l}=\dfrac{2\times20}{7.87}

V_{l}=5.08\ g/cm^3

Hence, The volume of the larger cube is 5.08 g/cm³.

Some plants disperse their seeds when the fruit splits and contracts, propelling the seeds through the air. The trajectory of th
Anton [14]

Answer:

Option B, 93 cm

Explanation:

An diagram of the seed's motion is attached to this solution.

This is very close to a projectile motion question. And the quantity to be calculated, how far along the grant a seed released would travel is called the Range.

And this would be obtained from the equations of motion,

First of, the height of the plant is related to some quantities of the motion with this relation.

H = u(y) t + 0.5g(t^2)

U(y) = initial vertical component of velocity = 0 m/s, H = height at which motion began, = 20cm = 0.2 m

That means t = √(2H/g)

The horizontal distance covered, R,

R = u(x) t + 0.5g(t^2) = u(x) t (the second part of the equation goes to zero as the vertical component of the acceleration of this motion is 0)

(substituting the t = √(2H/g) derived from above

R = u(x) √(2H/g)

Where u(x) = the initial horizontal component of the bomb's velocity = maximum initial speed, that is, 4.6 m/s, H = vertical height at which the seed was released = 20 cm = 0.2 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2

R = 4.6 √(2×0.2/9.8) = 0.929 m = 0.93 m = 93 cm. Option B.

A sample of a gas has a volume of 639 cm3 when the pressure is 75.9 kPa. What is the volume of the gas when the pressure is incr
const2013 [10]

Answer:

388 cm^3

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:

pV=const.

which can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

In our case, we have:

p_1 = 75.9 kPa is the initial pressure

V_1 = 639 cm^3 is the initial volume

p_2 = 125 kPa is the final pressure

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

v_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(75.9)(639)}{125}=388 cm^3
