Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56

<u>Answer:</u>

1A, 2E, 3C, 4F, 5B, 6D

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Tilt meter is a an equipment used to measure very small changes from vertical level. So it is a correct match for blank space in statement A.

  Richter Scale is a scale of measurement of earthquake strength, So it is a correct match for blank space in statement E.

 Mercalli Intensity Scale measures effect of an earthquake, like damage caused.So it is a correct match for blank space in statement C.

  Seismograph is earthquake wave measuring instrument. So it is a correct match for blank space in statement F.

  Correlation Spectrometer (C.O.S.P.E.C.) is used to measure sulfur dioxide content in smoke. So it is a correct match for blank space in statement B.

  Moment Magnitude Scale is an earthquake measuring scale for great earthquakes. So it is a correct match for blank space in statement D.

natima [27]

Recall that in the equilibrium position, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight is given below.

Explanation:

Measure unstretched length of spring, L.  E.g. L = 0.60m.

Set mass to a convenient value (e.g. m = 0.5kg).

Hang mass.

Measure new spring length, L'. E.g. L' = 0.70m.

Calculate extension: e = L' - L = 0.70 – 0.60 = 0.10m

Use mg = ke (in equilibrium weight = tension)

k = mg/e

Don't know what value you are using for example.  Suppose it is 10N/kg (same thing as 10m/s²).

k = 0.5*10/0.10 = 50 N/m

Repeat for a few different masses.  (L always stays the same.)

Take the average of your k values.

Tresset [83]

Complete Question

An aluminum "12 gauge" wire has a diameter d of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The electric field in the wire changes with time as E(t)=0.0004t2−0.0001t+0.0004 newtons per coulomb, where time is measured in seconds.

I = 1.2 A at time 5 secs.

Find the charge Q passing through a cross-section of the conductor between time 0 seconds and time 5 seconds.

Answer:

The charge is  Q =2.094 C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The diameter of the wire is  d =  0.205cm = 0.00205 \ m

     The radius of  the wire is  r =  \frac{0.00205}{2} = 0.001025  \ m

     The resistivity of aluminum is 2.75*10^{-8} \ ohm-meters.

       The electric field change is mathematically defied as

         E (t) =  0.0004t^2 - 0.0001 +0.0004

     

Generally the charge is  mathematically represented as

       Q = \int\limits^{t}_{0} {\frac{A}{\rho} E(t) } \, dt

Where A is the area which is mathematically represented as

       A =  \pi r^2 =  (3.142 * (0.001025^2)) = 3.30*10^{-6} \ m^2

 So

       \frac{A}{\rho} =  \frac{3.3 *10^{-6}}{2.75 *10^{-8}} =  120.03 \ m / \Omega

Therefore

      Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { E(t) } \, dt

substituting values

      Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { [ 0.0004t^2 - 0.0001t +0.0004] } \, dt

     Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] }  \left | t} \atop {0}} \right.

From the question we are told that t =  5 sec

           Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] }  \left | 5} \atop {0}} \right.

          Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004(5)^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 (5)^2}{2} +0.0004(5)] }

         Q =2.094 C

A uniform piece of wire, 20 cm long, is bent in a right angle in the center to give it an L-shape. How far from the bend is the
zlopas [31]

Answer:

the center of mass is 7.07 cm apart from the bend

Explanation:

the centre of mass of a wire of length L is L/2 ( assuming uniform density). Then initially the x coordinate of the centre of mass is

x₁ = L/2 = 20 cm /2 = 10 cm

when the wire is bent in a right angle the coordinates of the new centre of mass will be

x₂ = L₂/2

y₂=  L₂/2

where L₂ is the length of the horizontal piece and vertical piece . Then L₂=L/2

x₂ = L₂/2 = L/4 = 20 cm/4 = 5 cm

y₂= L₂/2 = L/4 = 20 cm/4 = 5 cm

x₂=y₂=X

locating the bend in the origin (0,0) the distance to the centre of mass is

d = √(x₂²+y₂²) = √(2X²) = √2*X=√2*5cm = 7.07 cm

d = 7.07 cm
