A beaker of mass 1.2 kg containing 2.5 kg of water rests on a scale. A 3.8 kg block of a metallic alloy of density 3300 kg/m3 is

suspended from a spring scale and is submerged in the water of density 1000 kg/m? as shown in the figure. a) What does the hanging scale read? acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s?Answer in units of N.b) what does the lower scale read? Answer in units of N.

ANSWER:

a) 25.97 N

b) 47.53 N

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Beaker mass = 1.2 kg

Water mass = 2.5 kg

Water density = 1000 kg/m^3

Block mass = 3.8 kg

Block density = 3300 kg/m^3

a)

The first thing is to calculate the volume of the block, like this:

\begin{gathered} d=\frac{m}{V} \\ V=\frac{m}{d} \\ \text{ we replacing} \\ V=\frac{3.8}{3300} \\ V=0.00115m^3 \end{gathered}

Mass of water displaced by the block is:

\begin{gathered} d=\frac{m}{V} \\ m=d\cdot V \\ m=1000\cdot0.00115 \\ m=1.15kg \end{gathered}

The block will receive a push from the water equal to the weight of the water displaced by the block, or the effective weight of the block will be reduced by the same amount:

\begin{gathered} W=(m_b-m)\cdot g \\ \text{ we replacing} \\ W=(3.8-1.15)\cdot9.8 \\ W=25.97\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Therefore, 25.97 N is the reading on the hanging scale.

b)

The bottom scale will gain by the same amount (1.15 kg). Therefore, the totalweight on the bottom scale is:

\begin{gathered} W=(1.2+2.5+1.15)\cdot9.8 \\ W=4.85\cdot9.8 \\ W=47.53\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Therefore, 47.53 N is the reading on the lower scale.

Explain the statement: “Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.”
babymother [125]

All living things are made up of cells.  Each cell's individual function helps the organism collectively function.  They are the most basic as they can be self-contained.  And there is no other particle smaller that can function on it's own.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: The hierarchical formation model suggests that galaxies may have been formed  by subsequent mergers of smaller galaxies and that today each galaxy houses at least  a supermassive black hole.

Explanation: During a fusion of galaxies, the stars that composes it suffer the tidal force, intensifying your action as the galaxies approaching. When two galaxies merges themselves, the astronomers believes that they loss a huge part of their mass, forming the supremassive black hole, that stays in the middle of the galaxie.

The supermassive black holes are originated from the evolution of high mass stars. They were formed by huge clouds of gas or clusters of millions of stars that collapsed on their own gravity when the universe was still much younger and denser.

A force of 5N produces an acceleration of 8m/s2 on mass m1, and an acceleration of 24m/s2 on a mass m2. What acceleration would
kotykmax [81]

The acceleration that the same force will provide if both masses are tied together is; 6.0 m/s².

<h3>How to find the Acceleration?</h3>

We are given;

Force; F = 5 N

Acceleration of the first mass, a₁ = 8.0 m/s²

Acceleration of the second mass, a₂ = 24 m/s²

Formula for force is;

F = ma

Let us find both masses; m₁ and m₂.

m₁ = F/a₁

m₂ = F/a₂

Thus;

m₁ = 5/8 kg

m₂ = 5/24 kg

Total mass is; m = m₁ + m₂

m = 5/8 + 5/24

m = 15 + 5/24

m = 20/24 kg

Thus, acceleration if they are both tied together is;

a = F/m

a = 5/(20/24)

a = 6.0 m/s².

Can anyone help me please​
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Gravity.

Rocket ships.

Ball.

Basketball.

Explanation:

Gravity has to do a lot with air. It puts the planets in there area.

Rocket Ship has to do a lot with air. If i'm right, they calculate the area, weather, about the air.

A ball gets throwed in the air, which gravity comes into place.

Basketball is also a similar example to a ball.
