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.

Suppose you first walk 12.0 m in a direction 20? west of north and then 20.0 m in a direction 40.0? south of west. how far are y
Gnesinka [82]
The representation of this problem is shown in Figure 1. So our goal is to find the vector \overrightarrow{R}. From the figure we know that:

\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |=12m \\ \\ \left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |=20m \\ \\ \theta_{A}=20^{\circ} \\ \\ \theta_{B}=40^{\circ}

From geometry, we know that:

\overrightarrow{R}=\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{B}

Then using vector decomposition into components:

For \ A: \\ \\ A_x=-\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |sin\theta_A=-12sin(20^{\circ})=-4.10 \\ \\ A_y=\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |cos\theta_A=12cos(20^{\circ})=11.27 \\ \\ \\ For \ B: \\ \\ B_x=-\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |cos\theta_B=-20cos(40^{\circ})=-15.32 \\ \\ B_y=-\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |sin\theta_B=-20sin(40^{\circ})=-12.85

Therefore:

R_x=A_x+B_x=-4.10-15.32=-19.42m \\ \\ R_y=A_y+B_y=11.27-12.85=-1.58m

So if you want to find out <span>how far are you from your starting point you need to know the magnitude of the vector \overrightarrow{R}, that is:
</span>
\left | \overrightarrow{R} \right |=&#10;\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}=\sqrt{(-19.42)^2+(-1.58)^2}=\boxed{19.48m}

Finally, let's find the <span>compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position. What we are looking for here is an angle that is shown in Figure 2 which is an angle defined with respect to the positive x-axis. Therefore:

</span>\theta_R=180^{\circ}+tan^{-1}(\frac{\left | R_y \right |}{\left | R_x \right |}) \\ \\ \theta_R=180^{\circ}+tan^{-1}(\frac{1.58}{19.42}) \\ \\ \theta_R=180^{\circ}+4.65^{\circ}=185.85^{\circ}

Write an expression for a harmonic wave with an amplitude of 0.19 m, a wavelength of 2.6 m, and a period of 1.2 s. The wave is t
zlopas [31]

Answer:

y = 0.19 sin(5.23 t - 2.42x + \frac{\pi}{2})

Explanation:

As we know that the wave equation is given as

y = A sin(\omega t - k x + \phi_0)

now we have

A = 0.19 m

\lambda = 2.6 m

so we have

k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}

k = \frac{2\pi}{2.6}

k = 2.42  per m

also we have

T = 1.2 s

so we have

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{1.2}

\omega = 5.23 rad/s

now we know that at t = 0 and x = 0 wave is at y = 0.19 m

so we have

\phi_0 = \frac{\pi}{2}

so we have

y = 0.19 sin(5.23 t - 2.42x + \frac{\pi}{2})
