In a lecture demonstration, an object is suspended from a spring scale which reads 8N when the object is in air. The object is t

hen lowered into a beaker of water, and when the object is fully submerged in the water, the scale reads 6N. a) Find the density of the object. b) During the entire demonstration, the beaker is standing on a kitchen scale which reads 20N before the object is lowered into the water. What does this scale read when the object is fully submerged? c) Compare the sum of the two scale readings before and after the object is submerged.

Answer:

a) density of the object is 3995.01, b) the weight scale reads 22N c) the sum individually will be the same with when added together.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the object in air is 8N,

and weight = Mass * acceleration due to gravity = m * 9.81

8/9.81 = 0.815,

upthrust( force acting on the body from the liquid impeding the immersion) on the body when fully submerged = weight in air - weight in water = 8N - 6N =2N

Upthrust = weight of water displaced = 2N = mass * acceleration

2/9.81 = 0.204kg

density of water(1000kg/m^3) = mass of water / volume of water

volume of water displaced = 0.204/1000 = 0.000204m^3 (204cm^3)

volume of water displaced = volume of the solid

density of solid = mass/ volume = 0.815/0.000204 = 3995.01kg/m^3

b) when fully submerge in water the the scale experience according to newton third law of motion ( equal and opposite reaction of forces) additional 2N push so that total weight with the fully submerge solid = 20N + upthrust = 20N + 2N =22N

c) the of two scale reading is before (8N + 20N = 28N) and after (6N + 22N = 28) since there is no loss of matter; the demonstration was in equilibrium.

A spacecraft is traveling with a velocity of v0x = 5320 m/s along the +x direction. Two engines are turned on for a time of 739
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The velocities after 739 s of firing of each engine would be 6642.81 m/s in the x direction and 5306.02 in the y direction

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. For a constant acceleration: v_{f}=v_{0}+at, where  v_{f} is the final velocity in a direction after the acceleration is applied, v_{0} is the initial velocity in that direction  before the acceleration is applied, a is the acceleration applied in such direction, and t is the amount of time during where that acceleration was applied.
  2. <em>Then for the x direction</em> it is known that the initial velocity is v_{0x} = 5320 m/s, the acceleration (the applied by the engine) in x direction is a_{x} 1.79 m/s2 and, the time during the acceleration was applied (the time during the engines were fired) of the  is 739 s. Then: v_{fx}=v_{0x}+a_{x}t=5320\frac{m}{s} +1.79\frac{m}{s^{2} }*739s=6642.81\frac{m}{s}
  3. In the same fashion, <em>for the y direction</em>, the initial velocity is  v_{0y} = 0 m/s, the acceleration in y direction is a_{y} 7.18 m/s2, and the time is the same that in the x direction, 739 s, then for the final velocity in the y direction: v_{fy}=v_{0y}+a_{y}t=0\frac{m}{s} +7.18\frac{m}{s^{2} }*739s=5306.02\frac{m}{s}

X+3=61
x=61-3=58

58+37=95
180-95=85

so x=58 and y=85

Write an equation for this relationship.
disa [49]

Answer:

y=18.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

74-55.5=18.50

92.50-74=18.50

111-92.5=18.50

(3,55.50)

y=18.5x +b

55.50=18.5(3)+b

55.50=55.50+b

b=0

PLEASE HELP! We can translate ()=2|−2|−5 to the right 3 units and up 5 units to create (). Write the equation for function g.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

g(x)=2\,|x-5|

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that a horizontal translation (shift) in 3 units to the right involves directly subtracting 3 from the variable x (horizontal axis variable) , and that moving the function up 5 units involves adding to the whole function 5 units. That is:

g(x)=2\,|x-3-2|- 5+ 5\\g(x)=2\,|x-5|+0\\g(x)=2\,|x-5|
