The specific gravity of the object’s material is 5.09.

<h3>To calculate the specific gravity of the object:</h3>

Weight difference = 9 - 7.2 = 1.8 N = Buoyant force of water

Buoyant Force in water(Fb) = density of water x g x volume of the   body(Vb)

1.8 = 1000 x 9.81 x Vb

Vb = 1.8/9810 cubic meter

Now, in the air;

Weight of body = mg = 9 N

Mass of body,m = 9/9.81 Kg

So,

Density of body = m/ Vb

= 9/9.81 ÷ 1.8/9810

= 5094.44 kg per cubic meter

The specific gravity of body = density of body ÷ density of water

= 5094.44 ÷ 1000

= 5.09

Therefore, Specific gravity of body = 5.09

Answer

D. The acceleration vector of the planet points towards the center of the circle.

Explanation

For planetary motion , the velocity vector is always in a direction that is tangential to the direction of motion, not towards the center. Even though the speed of the planet may stay constant, it's velocity changes because it is constantly changing it's direction.

The centripetal force, which in this case is the force of gravity always points in the direction of the the center. The acceleration  vector always points in the direction of the of the center of the circle just like the centripetal force.

A series circuit has a capacitor of 0.04×10−6 F and an inductor of 1 H. If the initial charge on the capacitor is 0.18×10−6C and
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Q(t) = 0.18\times 10^{-6} cos(5\times 10^3 t)

Explanation:

We knwo that Kirchoff law

L\frac{DI(t)}{dt} + \frac{1}{C}Q = 0

where

I(t) = \frac{dQ}{dt}

hence

LQ" + \frac{Q}{C} = 0

C is given as 0.04\times 10^{6} F

L= 1 H , so we have

Q" +  25\times 10^6Q = 0

the characteristic equation of this differential equation is

r^2 + 25\times 10^6 = 0

r = \pm 5\times 10^3 i

Therefore differential equation is

Q(t) =  c_1 cos(5000t) + c_2sin(5000t)

we know initial value if capacitor is given as 0.18\times 10^{-6} C

Therefore

0.18\times 10^{-6} = Q(0) =  c_1 cos(0) + c_2sin(0)

c_1 = 0.18\times 10^{-6}

if no inital current is present then we hvae I(0) = Q'(0) = 0

Q'(T) = -5000 C_1 sin(5000t) +  5000 c_2cos(5000t)

0 = Q'(0) = - 5000c_1sin(0) + 5000c_2cos(0) therefre

c_2 =0

hence charge is

Q(t) = 0.18\times 10^{-6} cos(5\times 10^3 t)

A centrifuge is used to test space pilots. The centrifuge spins with a centripetal acceleration of 3.04g. If the length of the a
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

approx.= 25\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration (a) is defined as the square of an object's velocity (V^2) divided by the distance of the object from it's point/axis of revolution (r). So:

a=\frac{V^{2} }{r}

which allows us to solve for the velocity:

V=\sqrt{ar}\\ Since: a=3.04g=(3.04)(9.81),r=21;\\V=\sqrt{(3.04)(9.81)(21)} =25.02...

Which best explains why graphite is a good lubricant? Carbon atoms form strong bonds within each graphite layer but weak bonds b
ra1l [238]

Graphite is great lubricant because each carbon atom forms weak covalent bonds with three other carbon atoms.

Diamond and graphite both are entirely made up of carbon but both the elements are completely different because of the bonding of carbon atoms. In graphite the carbon atoms form weak covalent with the other three carbon atom due to which there is less or no force between the atoms, and makes the graphite very soft and slippery, and graphite act as lubricant.
