You are given two rectangular blocks of shiny metal, Block A and Block B, and are asked to determine which one will float in a b

ath of mercury (a metal that is liquid at room temperature). Block A is 10 cm long, 6 cm wide and 1 cm high and has a mass of 630 g. Block B is 5 cm long, 5 cm wide, 3 cm high, and has a mass of 604 g. If mercury has a density of 13.6 g/cm3, which of the two blocks will float when placed in mercury?

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of block A = 10 x 6 x 1 = 60 cm³

Mass of block A = 630 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 630 / 60 = 10.5g / cm³

Volume of block B = 5 x 5 x 3 = 75 cm³

Mass of block A = 604 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 604 / 75 = 8.05 g / cm³

Since density of both A and B are less than that of mercury , both will float in mercury.

A book is moved once around the edge of a tabletop with dimensions 1.75 m à 2.25 m. If the book ends up at its initial position,
uysha [10]

Explanation:

The dimension of the book is 1.75 m × 2.25 m. If the book ends up at its initial position. The displacement of the book is equal to zero as the object reaches to its initial position.

If it completes its motion in 23 s, t = 23 s

Total displacement of the book is equal to its perimeter. It is given by :

d=2(1.75+2.25)=8\ m

The net displacement divided by total time taken is called the average velocity of an object. Here, the displacement is 0. So, average velocity is 0.

The average speed of an object is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

v=\dfrac{8\ m}{23\ s}

v = 0.347 m/s

So, the average speed of the book is 0.347 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

If a sound with frequency fs is produced by a source traveling along a line with speed vs. If an observer is traveling with spee
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: The frequency heard is 562.7 Hz.

Explanation: <u>Doppler</u> <u>Effect</u> happens when there is shift in frequency during a realtive motion between a source and the observer of that source.

It can be calculated as:

f_{o} = f_{s}(\frac{c+v_{o}}{c-v_{s}} )

where:

c is the speed of light (c = 332m/s)

all the subscripted s is related to the Source (frequency, velocity);

all the subscripted o is related to the Observer (frequency, velocity);

As the source is moving towards the observer and the observer is moving towards the source, the velocities of each are opposite related to direction.

So, the frequency perceived by the observer:

f_{o} = 439(\frac{332+32}{332-48} )

f_{o} = 439(\frac{364}{284} )

f_{o} = 439(1.282 )

f_{o} = 562.7 Hz

At this condition, the observer hears the train's horn in a perceived frequency of 562.7 Hz

A cubical shell with edges of length a is positioned so that two adjacent sides of one face are coincident with the +x and +y ax
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Q = ba⁴ * ε₀

Explanation:

From Gauss's Law, we know that

flux Φ = Q / ε₀

where ε₀ = 8.85e-12 C²/N·m²

and also,

Φ = EAcosθ

The field is directed along the x-axis, so that all of the flux passes through the side of the cube at x = a. This means that θ = 0º, and thus

Φ = EAcos0

Φ = EA

E = bx² meanwhile, we are interested in the point where x = a, so we substitute and then

E = ba²

Since A = a² for the cube face, we have

Q / ε₀ = E * A

Q / ε₀ = ba² * a²

so that

Q = ba⁴ * ε₀
