Answer: B. Density

Explanation:

Density is the comparison between the amount of matter contained by an object and its volume.

Mathematically, density is defined as; d = m/v

Where d is density

m is mass

and v is volume.

Dumping the toys in the bathwater is taking advantage of density because foam is generally less dense than water and anything less dense than water will float in water.

So, there will be a separation based on density because the foam alphabet letters will float while the other toys will sink due to the fact that they are denser and heavier than water and their molecules are compact; very close together.

A solid sphere of brass (bulk modulus of 14.0 ✕ 1010 N/m2) with a diameter of 2.20 m is thrown into the ocean. By how much does

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Diameter decreases by the diameter of 0.0312 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Bulk modulus = 14.0 × 10¹⁰ N/m²

Diameter d = 2.20 m

Depth = 2.40 km

Pressure = ρ g h = 1030 × 9.81 × 2.4 × 1000

= 24.25 × 10⁶ N/m²

Volume = $\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

$\dfrac{\Delta V}{V}=\dfrac{(\Delta r)^3}{r^3}$

Bulk modulus is equal to

$B = -\dfrac{\Delta P}{\dfrac{\Delta V}{V} }$

now

$B = -\dfrac{24.25 \times 10^6}{\dfrac{(\Delta r)^3}{r^3} }$

$B = -\dfrac{24.25 \times 10^6}{\dfrac{(\Delta r)^3}{1.1^3} }$

$(\Delta r)^3 = \dfrac{24.25 \times 10^6 \times 1.1^3}{14.0 \times 10^{10}}$

Δ r = -0.0156 m

change in diameter

Δ d = -2 × 0.0156

Δ d = -0.0312 m

Diameter decreases by the diameter of 0.0312 m.

Light from a monochromatic source shines through a double slit onto a screen 5.00 m away. The slits are 0.180 mm apart. The dark

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Wavelength of incident light, $\lambda = 612 nm$

Given:

Distance between slit and screen, x = 5.00 m

slit width, d = 0.180 mm

width of the fringe, $\beta = 1.70 cm = 0.017 m$

Solution:

To calculate the wavelength of the incident light, $\lambda$ :

$\beta = \frac{x\lambda }{d}$

$\lambda = \frac{\beta d}{x}$

$\lambda = \frac{0.017\times 0.180\times 10^{- 3}}{5} = 6.12\times 10^{- 7}m = 612 nm$

$\lambda = 612 nm$

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

Given that,

$T_1 =$ 500°C

$T_2$ = 25°C

d = 0.2m

L = 10mm = 0.01m

U₀ = 2m/s

Calculate average temperature

$\\T_{avg} = \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2} \\\\T_{avg} = \frac{500 + 25}{2} \\\\T_{avg} = 262.5$

262.5 + 273

= 535.5K

From properties of air table A-4 corresponding to $T_{avg}$ = 535.5K $\approx 550K$

k = 43.9 × 10⁻³W/m.k

v = 47.57 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s

Calculating

$h_o_-_9 = \frac{k}{9L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 9L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.09} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.09}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 17.5W/Km^2$

A uniform metre rule of weight 0.9 N is suspended horizontally by two vertical loops of thread A and B placed at 20cm and 30cm f

podryga [215]

Answer:

(a) 29 cm

(b) 43.5 cm

Explanation:

(a) when loop A is slack, there are three forces acting on the metre rule.

-0.9 N at 50 cm mark

T at 70 cm mark

-2 N at x

Taking the sum of the torques about B:

∑τ = Iα

(-0.9 N) (50 cm − 70 cm) + (-2 N) (x − 70 cm) = 0

18 Ncm − 2 N (x − 70 cm) = 0

2 N (x − 70 cm) = 18 Ncm

x − 70 cm = 9 cm

x = 79 cm

The distance from the center is |50 cm − 79 cm| = 29 cm.

(b) when loop B is slack, there are three forces acting on the metre rule.

-0.9 N at 50 cm mark

T at 20 cm mark

-2 N at x

Taking the sum of the torques about A:

∑τ = Iα

(-0.9 N) (50 cm − 20 cm) + (-2 N) (x − 20 cm) = 0

-27 Ncm − 2 N (x − 20 cm) = 0

2 N (x − 20 cm) = -27 Ncm

x − 20 cm = -13.5 cm

x = 6.5 cm

The distance from the center is |50 cm − 6.5 cm| = 43.5 cm
