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.

An organ pipe open at both ends has a radius of 4.0 cm and a length of 6.0 m. what is the frequency (in hz) of the third harmoni
Marysya12 [62]

When air is blown into the open pipe,

L = \frac{nλ}{2}

where nis any integral number 1,2,3,4 etc. and λ is the wavelength of the oscillation

⇒λ=\frac{2L} {n}

Note here that n=1 is for fundamental, n=2 is first harmonic and so on..

⇒ third harmonic will be n=4

Given L=6m, n=4, solving for λ we get:

λ=\frac{(2)*(6)}{4} =3m

Relationship of frequency(f), velocity of sound (c) and wavelength(λ) is:

c=f.λ Or f= \frac{c}{λ}

⇒f=\frac{344}{3}

≈115 Hz

Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts
wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.304 m/s2

Explanation:

If the first child is pushing with a force of 69N to the right and the 2nd child is pushing with a force of 91N to the left. Then the net pushing force is 91 - 69 = 22 N to the left. Subtracted by 15N friction force then the system of interest is subjected to F = 7 N net force tot he left.

We can use Newton's 2nd law to calculate the net acceleration of the system

a = F/m = 7 / 23 = 0.304 m/s^2

The coefficient of linear expansion of iron is 1.0 × 10−5 per C◦ . The surface area of an iron cube, with an edge length of 5.0
Allushta [10]
The linear expansion of iron is a = 1× 10∧ -5 /°C
Length edge is 5cm
Initial surface area of cube A = 6L ∧²
 = 150cm∧²
The edge length of cube after being heated from 
10°C to 60°C is
L = L[I +a dt] where the dt is = 60-10 = 50°C
5.0025cm
A surface area of the cube after heated is 
A' = 6L' ∧²
= 150.1500375 cm∧²
The increased area is = A' -A = 0.15cm∧²

On a cold winter's day heat leaks slowly out of a house at the rate of 20.5 kw. if the inside temperature is 22° c, and the outs
Lina20 [59]
From Clausius theorem we get the formula for the change of entropy:
dS=\frac{dQ}{T}
dS is the change of entropy, dQ is the change of energy, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
We need to convert those temperatures:
T_{in}=22^\circ C= 273.15+22=295.15K\\ T_{out}=-17.5^\circ C=273.15-17.5=255.65K
Entropy changes inside and outside:
$$Inside$: dS= \frac{-dQ}{T_in}=\frac{-20\cdot 10^3}{295.15K}=-67.76\frac{J}{K}
$$Outside$: dS= \frac{+dQ}{T_out}=\frac{+20\cdot 10^3}{255.65K}=+78.23\frac{J}{K}
The net entropy increase is:
dS=+78.23\frac{J}{K}-67.76\frac{J}{K}=+10.47\frac{J}{K}
