A rock with density 1900 kg/m3 is suspended from the lower end of a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the st

ring is 48.0 NWhat is the tension in the string when the rock is totally immersed in a liquid with density 750 kg/m3?

Answer:

the tension T2 when the rock is completely immersed is T2 =  29.05 N

Explanation:

from Newton's second law

F= m*a

where F= force , m= mass , a= acceleration

when the rock is suspended ,a=0 since it is at rest. Then

T1 - m*g = 0 , T1= tension when suspended in air , g= gravity

assuming constant density of the rock

m= ρ rock *V , where  ρ rock = density of the rock , V= volume

thus

T1= m*g = ρ rock *g*V

V=  T1/(ρ rock *g)

when the rock is submerged in oil , it receives an upward force that equals the weight of the volume of displaced oil (V displaced). Since it is completely submerged the volume displaced is the volume of the rock V=Vdisplaced  

When the rock is at rest , then

F= m*a=0

T2 + ρ oil *g*V displaced - ρ rock *g*V  =0

T2 = ρ rock *g*V - ρ oil *g*V = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil) = T1/(ρ rock *g) *g * (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = T1 * (ρ rock - ρ oil)/ρ rock

replacing values

T2 = 48 N * (1900 kg/m3- 750 kg/m3)/ 1900 kg/m3 = 29.05 N

T2 =  29.05 N

A 7.5 cm object is 14 cm from a concave lens, which has a focal length of –7 cm. Its image is 5 cm in front of the lens. What is
Rama09 [41]
Given conditions:
height of object = 7.5cmdistance of object from mirror  = 14 cmfocus length = -7 cmimage distance =  ?
Using mirror formula: 
1/(focus length) = 1/(object distance) + 1/(image distance)
or, -1/7 = 1/14 + 1/(image distance)
or, image distance = -4.66cm (the image formed is a virtual image)


Also, magnification of image is:
image height /height of object = - image distance /object distance
or, image height = - image distance / object distance * height of object
or, image height = -(-4.66) / 14 * 7.5 = 2.49 = 3(nearest whole number)

You have an electrically neutral toy that you divide into two pieces. You notice that at least one of those pieces has an electr
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The pieces will attract one another

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, we know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but transformed. If one piece of the toy that was neutral ends up having an electric charge (positive or negative), from the conservation of energy, the other piece must have a charge opposite to that on the other charged piece but equal in magnitude. These two pieces which are oppositely charged attracts each other, this shows that electric charge is conserved.

An object in projectile motion will follow wich path
seraphim [82]
It will tend to follow a trajectory path. When a projectile is being flung or flown away by a certain type of force, the trajectory is what it follows through the means of both force and function of time itself. It's also called as flight path.
