A 15 cm3 block of gold weighs 2.8 N. It is carefully submerged in a tank of mercury. One cm3 of mercury weighs 0.13 N.

1 answer:

5 0

The density of gold is 2.8 N / 15 = 0.18 units
The density of mercury is 0.13/1 = 0.13 units

Since the density of gold is more than density of mercury, it will sink.
Since the gold will sink, it will displace mercury, but less than its own volume

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge forever.

Explanation:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge in that manner forever because the total charge of the stick is an integer multiples of individual units known as an elementary charge, <em>which is the electron (e) charge (e = 1.602x10⁻¹⁹C)</em>.

Therefore the limit of the division of the original charge will be the electron charge since it is the smallest charge that can exist freely.

I hope it helps you!

A solid metal ball of radius 1.5 cm bearing a charge of -15 nC is located near a hollow plastic ball of radius 1.9 cm bearing a

blsea [12.9K]

We have that the electric field at the center of the metal ball due only to the charges on the surface of the metal ball is

$E=7*10^{9}N/C$

From the question we are told that

A solid metal ball of radius 1.5 cm

bearing a charge of -15 nC is located near a hollow plastic ball of radius 1.9 cm bearing

uniformly distributed charge of -7 nC

The distance between the centers of the balls is 9 cm

Generally the equation for the electric field is mathematically given as

$E=\frac{kq_2}{d^2}\\\\E=\frac{(9*10^9)7*10^{-2}}{9*10^{-2}}\\\\$

$E=7*10^{9}N/C$

A piece of blue paper appears blue because the paper absorbs all colors of light except blue. <em> (b)</em>

So any light that bounces off of the paper and enters your eye must be blue light !

Imagine a simple pendulum swinging in an elevator. If the cable holding the elevator up was to snap, allowing the elevator to go

Lady_Fox [76]

One of the components that affect the period is gravity (the other is length). This gravity is basically the value of the effective acceleration that acts on the body due to gravity. When the elevator is over free fall, the effective gravity becomes zero. Mathematically this can be visualized as,

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{\dot{g_{eff}}}}$
