Answer:

The density of this object is approximately 1.36\; {\rm kg \cdot L^{-1}}.

The density of the oil in this question is approximately 0.600\; {\rm kg \cdot L^{-1}}.

(Assumption: the gravitational field strength is g =9.806\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}})

Explanation:

When the gravitational field strength is g, the weight (\text{weight}) of an object of mass m would be m\, g.

Conversely, if the weight of an object is (\text{weight}) in a gravitational field of strength g, the mass m of that object would be m = (\text{weight}) / g.

Assuming that g =9.806\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}. The mass of this 63.8\; {\rm N}-object would be:

\begin{aligned} \text{mass} &= \frac{\text{weight}}{g} \\ &= \frac{63.8\; {\rm N}}{9.806\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}} \\ &\approx 6.506\; {\rm kg}\end{aligned}.

When an object is immersed in a liquid, the buoyancy force on that object would be equal to the weight of the liquid that was displaced. For instance, since the object in this question was fully immersed in water, the volume of water displaced would be equal to the volume of this object.

When this object was suspended in water, the buoyancy force on this object was (63.8\; {\rm N} - 16.8\; {\rm N}) = 47.0\; {\rm N}. Hence, the weight of water that this object displaced would be 47.0 \; {\rm N}.

The mass of water displaced would be:

\begin{aligned}\text{mass} &= \frac{\text{weight}}{g} \\ &= \frac{47.0\: {\rm N}}{9.806\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}} \\ &\approx 4.793\; {\rm kg}\end{aligned}.

The volume of that much water (which this object had displaced) would be:

\begin{aligned}\text{volume} &= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} \\ &\approx \frac{4.793\; {\rm kg}}{1.00\; {\rm kg \cdot L^{-1}}} \\ &\approx 4.793\; {\rm L}\end{aligned}.

Since this object was fully immersed in water, the volume of this object would be equal to the volume of water displaced. Hence, the volume of this object is approximately 4.793\; {\rm L}.

The mass of this object is 6.50\; {\rm kg}. Hence, the density of this object would be:

\begin{aligned} \text{density} &= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} \\ &\approx \frac{6.506\; {\rm kg}}{4.793\; {\rm L}} \\ &\approx 1.36\; {\rm kg \cdot L^{-1}} \end{aligned}.

(Rounded to \text{$3$ sig. fig.})

Similarly, since this object was fully immersed in oil, the volume of oil displaced would be equal to the volume of this object: approximately 4.793\; {\rm L}.

The weight of oil displaced would be equal to the magnitude of the buoyancy force: 63.8\; {\rm N} - 35.6\; {\rm N} = 28.2\; {\rm N}.

The mass of that much oil would be:

\begin{aligned}\text{mass} &= \frac{\text{weight}}{g} \\ &= \frac{28.2\: {\rm N}}{9.806\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}} \\ &\approx 2.876\; {\rm kg}\end{aligned}.

Hence, the density of the oil in this question would be:

\begin{aligned} \text{density} &= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} \\ &\approx \frac{2.876\; {\rm kg}}{4.793\; {\rm L}} \\ &\approx 0.600\; {\rm kg \cdot L^{-1}} \end{aligned}.

If a force does a positive amount of work on an object, does the object's speed
Alexxandr [17]

The speed of the object increases

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. Mathematically:

W=K_f -K_i= \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2

where

W is the work done on the object

K_f, K_i are the final and initial kinetic energy of the object, respectively

m is the mass of the object

v is its final speed

u is its initial speed

In this case, the force does a positive amount of work on the object, so

W>0

This also implies that

K_f > K_i

And so

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 > \frac{1}{2}mu^2

And therefore

v>u

which means that the speed of the object increases.

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou
zlopas [31]

Answer:

q = 3.6 10⁵  C

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth

          r = 6 , 37 106 m

          E = k q / r²

          q = E r² / k

          q = \frac{100 \ (6.37 \ 10^6)^2}{9 \ 10^9}

          q = 4.5 10⁵ C

Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius

           r = 0.6 r_ Earth

           r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m

           E = k q / r²

            q = E r² / k

            q = \frac{222 (3.822 \ 10^6)^2}{ 9 \ 10^9}

            q = 3.6 10⁵  C
