You have two identical pure silver ingots. You place one of them in a glass of water and observe it to sink to the bottom. You p

lace the other in a container full of mercury and observe that it floats. Comparing the buoyant forces in the two cases you conclude that
a.) the buoyant force in water is smaller than in mercury

b.) the buoyant force in the water is larger than that in mercury

c.) the buoyant force in the water is zero and that in mercury is non - zero

d.) the buoyant force in the water is equal to that in mercury

e.) no conclusion can be made about the respective values of the buoyant forces

Answer: a)

Explanation:

The buoyant force, as stated by Archimedes’ principle, is equal to the weight of the liquid that occupies the same volumen as the submerged object, as follows:

Fb = δ.V.g

If this force is larger than the weight of the object (that means that the fluid is denser than the solid), the object floats, which is the case for silver and mercury.

Instead, silver density is larger than water density, which explains why the pure silver ingot sinks.

Finally, as mercury is denser than water, we conclude that for a same object, the buoyant force in mercury is larger than in water (exactly 13.6 times greater).

What visible signs indicate a precipitation reaction when two solutions are mixed?
Illusion [34]

Formation of an insoluble solid

Explanation:

One of the remarkable visible signs that indicates a precipitation reaction when two solutions are mixed is the formation of an insoluble solid. The insoluble solid formed is the precipitate.

  • Precipitates usually forms in single replacement reactions and double replacement or double decomposition reactions.
  • They form when two soluble compounds react. One of the product is an insoluble solid in the solution called the precipitate.
  • The solubility table helps to predict whether precipitates forms in a reaction.

A brass lid screws tightly onto a glass jar at 20 degrees C. To help open the jar, it can be placed into a bath of hot water. Af
omeli [17]

Answer:

0.0016 cm

Explanation:

\alpha_b = Thermal coefficient of expansion of brass = 19\times 10^{-6}\ /^{\circ}C

\alpha_g = Thermal coefficient of expansion of glass = 9\times 10^{-6}\ /^{\circ}C

\Delta T = Change in temperature = (60-20)^{\circ}C

R_0 = Initial radius = 4 cm

Change in radius of material is given by

R=R_0(1+\alpha\Delta T)

Difference in radii of the lid and jar

\Delta R=R_b-R_g\\\Rightarrow \Delta R=R_0(1+\alpha_b\Delta T)-R_0(1+\alpha_g\Delta T)\\\Rightarrow \Delta R=R_0(\alpha_b-\alpha_g)\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta R=4\times (19\times 10^{-6}-9\times 10^{-6})\times (60-20)\\\Rightarrow \Delta R=0.0016\ cm

The size of the gap is 0.0016 cm or 0.000016 m

A girl is sledding down a slope that is inclined at 30º with respect to the horizontal. The wind is aiding the motion by providi
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The sled required 9.96 s to travel down the slope.

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a description of the problem. In red are the x and y-components of the gravity force (Fg). Since the y-component of Fg (Fgy) is of equal magnitude as Fn but in the opposite direction, both forces get canceled.

Then, the forces that cause the acceleration of the sled are the force of the wind (Fw), the friction force (Ff) and the x-component of the gravity force (Fgx).

The sum of all these forces make the sled move. Finding the resulting force will allow us to find the acceleration of the sled and, with it, we can find the time the sled travel.

The magnitude of the friction force is calculated as follows:

Ff = μ · Fn

where :

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

Fn =  normal force

The normal force has the same magnitude as the y-component of the gravity force:

Fgy = Fg · cos 30º = m · g · cos 30º

Where

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

Then:

Fgy = m · g · cos 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · cos 30º

Fgy = 744 N

Then, the magnitude of Fn is also 744 N and the friction force will be:

Ff = μ · Fn = 0.151 · 744 N = 112 N

The x-component of Fg, Fgx, is calculated as follows:

Fgx = Fg · sin 30º = m·g · sin 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · sin 30º = 430 N

The resulting force, Fr, will be the sum of all these forces:

Fw + Fgx - Ff = Fr

(Notice that forces are vectors and the direction of the friction force is opposite to the other forces, then, it has to be of opposite sign).

Fr = 161 N + 430 N - 112 N = 479 N

With this resulting force, we can calculate the acceleration of the sled:

F = m·a

where:

F = force

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration

Then:

F/m = a

a = 479N/87.7 kg = 5.46 m/s²

The equation for the position of an accelerated object moving in a straight line is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Since the sled starts from rest and the origin of the reference system is located where the sled starts sliding, x0 and v0 = 0.

x = 1/2· a ·t²

Let´s find the time at which the position of the sled is 271 m:

271 m = 1/2 · 5.46 m/s² · t²

2 · 271 m / 5.46 m/s² = t²

<u>t = 9.96 s </u>

The sled required almost 10 s to travel down the slope.

What is the efficiency of a machine if your work on the machine is 1200 j and the machines output work is 300 j?
inysia [295]

Answer:

The efificiency is 0,25 of the machine  (25%). See the explanation below

Explanation:

We calculate the efficiency with this formula:

Efficiency = energy obtained/energy supplied= 300 Joule/1200 Joule

Efficiency= 0,25

Efficiency(%) = 0,25 x100 = 25%
