A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the

wood in air and the lead weight submerged in water is 0.0765 kg. The apparent mass with the wood and the lead weight both submerged in water is 0.0452 kg. What is the specific gravity of the wood

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

Can a small child play with fat child on the seesaw?Explain how?
RoseWind [281]
Yes a small child can play with fat child in the seesaw because if the the load distance is decreased the effort will increase. That's means if the distance between the fat boy and the fulcrum is decreased the small child needs less effort.so,he can play

A can of sardines is made to move along an x axis from x = 0.47 m to x = 1.20 m by a force with a magnitude given by F = exp(–8x
sattari [20]
If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .

I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect. On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on. The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?

Follow these steps to solve this problem: Two identical loudspeakers, speaker 1 and speaker 2, are 2.0 m apart and are emitting
horsena [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wave length of sound from each of the  speakers = 340 / 1700 = .2 m = 20 cm

Distance between first speaker and the given point = 4 m.

Distance between second speaker and the given sound

= √ 4² + 2² = √16 +4 = √20 = 4.472 m

Path difference = 4.472 - 4 = .4722 m.

Path difference / wave length = 0.4772 / 0.2 = 2.386

This is a fractional integer which is neither an odd nor an  even multiple of half wavelength. Hence this point of neither a perfect constructive nor a perfect destructive interference.

What voltage is required to move 6A through 20?<br><br>​
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

120V

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Current  = 6A

Resistance  = 20Ω

Unknown:

Voltage = ?

Solution:

According to ohms law;

           V = IR

Where V is the voltage

            I is the current

            R is the resistance

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

    V  = 6 x 20  = 120V
