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.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

61578948 m/s

Explanation:

λ_{actual} = λ_{observed} \frac{c+v_{o}}{c}

687 = 570 (\frac{3 * 10^{8} +v_{o} }{3 * 10^{8}} )

v_{o} = 61578948 m/s

So Slick Willy was travelling at a speed of 61578948 m/s to observe this.

The speed of sound in seawater is 1470 m/s. A dolphin sends out a click that reflects off of an
Nitella [24]

Answer: 0.204 s

Explanation:

The speed of sound V is defined as the distance traveled d in a especific time t:  

V=\frac{d}{t}  

Where:  

V=1470 m/s is the speed of sound  in seawater

t is the time the sound wave travels from the dolphin and then returns after the reflection

d=2(150 m) is twice the distance between the dolphin and the object to which the sound waves are reflected

Finding t:

t=\frac{d}{V}  

t=\frac{2(150 m)}{1470 m/s}

<u>Finally:</u>

t=0.204 s

The human ear canal is, on average, 2.5cm long and aids in hearing by acting like a resonant cavity that is closed on one end an
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3400 Hz

Explanation:

We know that

1 cm = 0.01 m

L = Length of the human ear canal = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

V = Speed of sound = 340 ms⁻¹

f = First resonant frequency

The human ear canal behaves as a closed pipe and for a closed pipe, nth resonant frequency is given as

f = \frac{(2n - 1)V}{4L}

for first resonant frequency, we have n = 1

Inserting the values

f = \frac{(2(1) - 1) 340}{4(0.025)}

f = \frac{340}{4(0.025)}

f = 3400 Hz
