The density of the metal sphere is 2 times the density of the liquid as proved.

<h3>Net upward force acting on the metal sphere</h3>

The net upward force acting on the sphere as it is dropped into the liquid is calculated as follows;

F =  σVg - ρVg

ma =  σVg - ρVg  

where;

  • ρ is density of the liquid
  • σ is the density of the metal
  • a is acceleration of the metal

σV(a) =  σVg  - ρVg

σ(a) = σg  - ρg

σ(g/2) = σg -  ρg  

g(σ/2) = g(σ -  ρ)

σ/2 = σ -  ρ

σ/2 - σ = -  ρ

-σ/2 = -  ρ

σ = 2ρ --- proved

Thus, the density of the metal sphere is 2 times the density of the liquid as proved.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration = 83.77m/s²

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Radius, r = 0.13m

Velocity, v = 3.3m/s

To find centripetal acceleration;

Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula;

Acceleration, a = \frac {v^{2}}{r}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Centripetal \; acceleration, a = \frac {3.3^{2}}{0.13}

Centripetal \; acceleration, a = \frac {10.89}{0.13}

<em>Centripetal acceleration = 83.77m/s²</em>

<em>Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the edge of the disc is 83.77 m/s². </em>

A thin layer of liquid methylene iodide (n = 1.756) is sandwiched between two flat, parallel plates of glass (n = 1.50). What mu
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

t = 96.1 nm

Explanation:

For strong reflection through liquid layer we know that the path difference between two reflected light rays must be integral multiple of wavelength

now we know that the path difference of two reflected light from thin liquid layer is given as

2\mu t - \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda

here we know that

\mu = 1.756

t = thickness of layer

N = 0 (for minimum thickness of layer)

\lambda = 675 nm

now we have

2(1.756) t = \frac{675 nm}{2}

t = 96.1 nm
