Answer:

Explanation:

This is pretty easy to calculate when you realize that the mass of the water displaced is equal to the mass of the object floating in it.

Take an iceberg of volume V. It has density d_i. So its total mass is V*d_i = m.

Now, it is displacing 90% of its volume. The sea water has a d_w. The total mass of water displaced is 0.9 * V * d_w, and it equals the mass of the iceberg, V*d_i.

Divide both sides by V. You get 0.9 * d_w = d_i. Now we just have to solve for d_w. Dividing both sides by 0.9, you get d_w = d_i/0.9.

Answer: 24.3 g

Explanation:

According to Archimedes principle,

buoyant force = weight of liquid displaced

Density of the object floating in a liquid = density of the liquid * fraction of the object inside the liquid

Mathematically represented thus:

ρ(object) = ρ(water) * fraction f

ρ(water) = 1 g/cc, fraction of the object inside the liquid = 10% = 0.1

ρ(object) = 1 × ( 1 — 0.1 ) = 0.9 g/cc

ρ(object) = 0.9 g/cc

To get the mass of a cube of ice, we use the formula M = ρV

ρ = 0.9 g/cc , L = 3cm, V = L^3 = 3^3 = 27 cc

M = 0.9 * 27

M = 24.3 g

Noise-canceling headphones are an application of destructive interference. Each side of the headphones uses a microphone to pick

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

2.5 ms

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

f = Frequency = 200 Hz

Wavelength is given by

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{343}{200}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=1.715\ m$

In the case of destructive interference, path difference is given by

$x=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1.715}{2}\\\Rightarrow x=0.8575\ m$

Delay is givenn by

$t=\dfrac{x}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{0.8575}{343}\\\Rightarrow t=0.0025\ s$

The minimum headphone delay, that will cancel this noise is 2.5 ms

A hot–air balloon is moving at a speed of 10 meters/second in the +x–direction. The balloonist throws a brass ball in the +x–dir

IrinaVladis [17]

The ball has an initial speed of 10m/s. This is because it is moving with the balloon. Now the balloonist throws the ball 4m/s with respect to himself, so it means that he gives the ball a extra push of 4m/s, so the total speed is 14m/s. Since it takes 30 seconds to reach the ground, the distance travelled is 14*30=420m.

A more realistic car would cause the wheels to spin in a manner that would result in the ground pushing it forward with a consta

-Dominant- [34]

The car would go from zero to 58.0 mph in 2.6 sec.

Since the force on the car is constant, therefore the acceleration of the car would also be constant.

Now for constant acceleration we can use the equation of motion

Using first equation of motion to calculate the acceleration of the car

v=u+at

29=0+a×1.30 ...... Eq. (1)

Again using the first equation of motion

58=0+a*t ....... Eq. (2)

Dividing eq. (2) with equation 1

t=2×1.3

t=2.6 sec

What is the approximate pressure of a storage cylinder of recovered r-410a that does not contain any non-condensable impurities

Aliun [14]

Answer:

173psig

Explanation:

The storage cylinder of recovered R-410A is mixture of difluoromethane and pentafluoroethane which is used as a refrigerant in air conditioning application. The refrigeration sector has low temperatures for installation. The pressure of cylinder at 80 F will be 173 psig. The pure refrigerants have inside a container have saturation temperature which is equal to ambient temperature.

A beam of monochromatic light (f =5.09 ×1014 Hz) has a wavelength of 589 nanometers in air. What is the wavelength of this light

frosja888 [35]

Lucite has a refractive index of n=1.50. This means that the speed of the light in lucite is decreased according to:
$v=\frac{c}{n}$
where $c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light in air. Putting the number in the formula, we find that the speed of light in lucite is
$v=\frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.50}=2\cdot 10^8 m/s$
The frequency of the light is $f=5.09 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$ , so now we can calculate the wavelength in lucite by using the formula:
$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{2\cdot 10^8 m/s}{5.09 \cdot 10^{14} Hz}=3.93 \cdot 10^{-7} m=393 nm$
<span>Therefore, the correct answer is (2) 393 nm.</span>
