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}.

A uniform electric field of magnitude 4.6 ✕ 104 N/C is perpendicular to a square sheet with sides 3.0 m long. What is the electr
rodikova [14]

Answer:

41.4* 10^4 N.m^2/C

Explanation:

given:

E= 4.6 * 10^4 N/C

electric field is 4.6 * 10^4 N/C and square sheet is perpendicular to electric field so, area of vector is parallel to electric field

then electric flux = ∫ E*n dA

                            = ∫ 4.6 * 10^4 * 3*3

                            = 41.4* 10^4 N.m^2/C

Two cars are traveling along a straight road. Car A maintains a constant speed of 95 km/h and car B maintains a constant speed o
natulia [17]

Answer

given,

Speed of car A = 95 Km/h

                         = 95 x 0.278 = 26.41 m/s

Speed of Car B = 121 Km/h

                         = 121 x 0.278 = 33.64 m/s

Distance between Car A and B at t=0 = 41 Km

a) Distance travel by car B

   d = 26.41 t + 41000

speed of the car A = 33.64 m/s

distance = s x t

26.41 t + 41000 = 33.64 x t

7.23 t = 41000

t = 5670.82 s

time taken by Car B to cross Car A is equal to t = 5670.82 s

distance traveled by car A

D = s x t  = 26.41 x 5670.82 = 149766.25 m = 149.76 Km

b) distance travel by the car B in 30 s after overtaking car A

   D' = s x t = 33.64 x 30 = 1009.2 m = 1 Km
