An iron nails sinks in water,while a large ship floats on the surfacr of water

1 answer:

3 0

I don't exactly understand the substance of the question so im going to assume that the answer you are looking for is buoyancy. Buoyancy determines whether something sinks or floats in water. A ship has a larger buoyancy due to the shape of the hull, a nail is does not and will sink.

The period of rotation of Mars is 1 day and 37 minutes. Determine its frequency of rotation in Hertz.

Sholpan [36]

The frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

Given the following data:

Period = 1 day and 37 minutes.

To find the frequency of rotation in Hertz:

First of all, we would convert the the value of period in days and minutes to seconds because the period of oscillation of a physical object is measured in seconds.

Conversion:

1 day = 24 hours

24 hours to minutes = $60$ × $24$ = $1440$ minutes

$1440 + 37 = 1477 \; minutes$

1 minute = 60 seconds

1477 minute = X seconds

Cross-multiplying, we have:

$X = 60$ × $1477$

X = 88620 seconds

Now, we can find the frequency of rotation of Mars by using the formula:

$Frequency = \frac{1}{Period}\\\\Frequency = \frac{1}{88620}$

Frequency of rotation = 0.0000113 Hertz

Therefore, the frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

The resistance, R, of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. If the resistance of a w

lbvjy [14]

R is proportional to the length of the wire:

R ∝ length

R is also proportional to the inverse square of the diameter:

R ∝ 1/diameter²

The resistance of a wire 2700ft long with a diameter of 0.26in is 9850Ω. Now let's change the shape of the wire, adding and subtracting material as we go along, such that the wire is now 2800ft and has a diameter of 0.1in.

Calculate the scale factor due to the changed length:

k₁ = 2800/2700 = 1.037

Scale factor due to changed diameter:

k₂ = 1/(0.1/0.26)² = 6.76

Multiply the original resistance by these factors to get the new resistance:

R = R₀k₁k₂

R₀ = 9850Ω, k₁ = 1.037, k₂ = 6.76

R = 9850(1.037)(6.76)

R = 69049.682Ω

Round to the nearest hundredth:

R = 69049.68Ω

2. A 0.8 kg tetherball hangs on the end of a cord. It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground. a. What is the maximum

skad [1K]

Answer:

E = 16.464 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of tetherball, m = 0.8 kg

It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground, h = 21. m

We need to find the maximum gravitational potential energy of the ball. The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 0.8 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 2.1 m

= 16.464 J

So, the maximum potential energy of the ball is 16.464 J.
