What makes the subject of star formation so difficult and complex?

A uniform rod is hung at one end and is partially submerged in water. If the density of the rod is 5/9 that of water, find the f

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

$\frac{y}{L}$ = 0.66

Hence, the fraction of the length of the rod above water = $\frac{y}{L}$ = 0.66

and fraction of the length of the rod submerged in water = 1 - $\frac{y}{L}$ = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34

Explanation:

Data given:

Density of the rod = 5/9 of the density of the water.

Let's denote density of Water with w

And density of rod with r

So,

r = 5/9 x w

Required:

Fraction of the length of the rod above water.

Let's denote total length of the rod with L

and length of the rod above with = y

Let's denote the density of rod = r

And density of water = w

So, the required is:

Fraction of the length of the rod above water = y/L

y/L = ?

In order to find this, we first need to find out the all type of forces acting upon the rod.

We know that, a body will come to equilibrium if the net torque acting upon a body is zero.

As, we know

F = ma

Density = m/v

m = Density x volume

Volume = Area x length = X ( L-y)

So, let's say X is the area of the cross section of the rod, so the forces acting upon it are:

F = mg

F = (Density x volume) x g

g = gravitational acceleration

F1 = X(L-y) x w x g (Force on the length of the rod submerged in water)

where,

X (L-y) = volume

w = density of water.

Another force acting upon it is:

F = mg

F2 = X x L x r x g

Now, the torques acting upon the body:

T1 + T2 = 0

F1 ( y + $(\frac{L-y}{2})$ ) g sinФ - F2 x ( $\frac{L}{2}$ ) x gsinФ = 0

plug in the equations of F1 and F2 into the above equation and after simplification, we get:

$(L^{2} - y^{2} ) . w$ = $L^{2}$ . r

where, w is the density of water and r is the density of rod.

As we know that,

r = 5/9 x w

So,

$(L^{2} - y^{2} ) . w$ = $L^{2}$ . 5/9 x w

Hence,

$(L^{2} - y^{2} )$ = $\frac{5L^{2} }{9}$

$\frac{L^{2} - y^{2} }{L^{2} }$ = $\frac{5}{9}$

Taking $L^{2}$ common and solving for $\frac{y}{L}$ , we will get

$\frac{y}{L}$ = 0.66

Hence, the fraction of the length of the rod above water = $\frac{y}{L}$ = 0.66

and fraction of the length of the rod submerged in water = 1 - $\frac{y}{L}$ = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34

After a plant or animal dies the 14C content decreases with a half-life of 5730 years. If an archaeologist finds an ancient fire

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

age of the site is 15411.75 years old

Explanation:

Given data

plant or animal dies = 14C

time period = 5730 year

carbon = 15.5%

to find out

age (in years) of the ancient site

solution

we know that Final value = Initial value × $0.5^{n}$

here n is half life passed

so for 15.5%

15.5% = 100% of $0.5^{n}$

0.155 = 1 × $0.5^{n}$

now take log both side

log 0.155 = log $0.5^{n}$

n = log 0.155 / log 0.5

n = 2.68966

we know here 5730 years in half life

so for 2.68966 half-lives = 2.68966 × 5730 = 15411.7518

age of the site is 15411.75 years old

The inner planets formed:

Ivan

Answer:

a. by collisions and mergers of planetesimals.

Explanation:

Inner planets are planets within 1.5 AU distance from the sun. These are called terrestrial planets because they are somewhat similar to Earth, mainly made of rocks.

The main ingredient of these planets are solar nebula and interstellar dust condensation of which leads to formation of small rock particles. These particles come close to each other under in the influence of gravity and other forces. As the mass of the particles increase they form planetesimals, these planetesimals eventually merge to form planets.
