You need to determine the density of an unknown liquid and decide to perform an experiment. You notice that a wooden block float

s in this liquid with 4.6 cm of the side of the block submerged. Then you place the same block in water and notice that it also floats but with 5.8 cm submerged. What is the density of the unknown liquid.

Answer:

pu = 1260.9kg/m^3

the density of the unknown liquid is 1260.9kg/m^3

Explanation:

The density of a liquid is inversely proportional to the volume (height) of object submerged in it.

High density liquid possess higher buoyant force preventing objects from submerging.

p ∝ 1/V ∝ 1/h

since V = Ah

pu/pw = hw/hu

pu = pwhw/hu

Where;

p = density

h = height submerged

pu and pw is the density of unknown liquid and water respectively

hu and hw is the height of object submerged in unknown liquid and water respectively

pw = 1000kg/m^3

hu = 4.6cm = 0.046m

hw = 5.8cm = 0.058m

Substituting the given values;

pu = 1000×0.058/0.046

pu = 1260.9kg/m^3

the density of the unknown liquid is 1260.9kg/m^3

Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims
notka56 [123]
You must assume that the mass of the rocket and engine remains constant - even though the engine is burning.

You know the engine produces 13.8N for a distance of 14.6m

The total energy expended (work done) by the engine is FxD so you can calculate that

Now - some of that is given to the rocket as kinetic and potential energy, and some is expended against the drag force.

At the peak of its flight ALL the energy given to the rocket is potential energy (its velocity is zero)  and that is calculated as mgh

So
Energy given to rocket = mgh
Energy expended by engine = F x D  (D= height where engine stops)
Energy 'lost' to drag is the difference between the two values.

Charlie pulls horizontally to the right on a wagon with a force of 37.2 N. Sara pulls horizontally to the left with a force of 2
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The work done on the wagon is 37 joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

The force applied by Charlie to the right, F = 37.2 N

The force applied by Sara to the left, F' = 22.4 N

We need to find the work done on the wagon after it has moved 2.50 meters to the right. The net force acting on the wagon is :

F_n=F-F'

F_n=37.2-22.4

F_n=14.8\ N

Work done on the wagon is given by the product of net force and displacement. It is given by :

W=F_n\times d

W=14.8\ N\times 2.5\ m

W = 37 Joules

So, the work done on the wagon is 37 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Physics laws of motion
expeople1 [14]

The acceleration is 0.095 m/s^2

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by applying Newton's second law of motion: in fact, the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration. Therefore we can write:

\sum F = ma

where:

\sum F is the resultant force acting on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have the following forces acting on the system:

F_1 = 2500 N (forward)

F_2 = -2400 N (backward)

So, Newton's second law can be rewritten as:

F_1 -F_2 = ma

where:

m = 1050 kg is the mass of all the students

Solving the formula for a, we find the acceleration of the system:

a=\frac{F_1-F_2}{m}=\frac{2500+(-2400)}{1050}=0.095 m/s^2

The pressure in a water line is 1500 kpa. what is the line pressure in (a) lb/ft2 units and (b) lbf/in2 (psi) units?
kotegsom [21]

To solve this problem, we know that:

1 psi = 6894.76 Pa

1 lb / ft^2 = 47.88 Pa

 

Therefore:

a. 1500 x 10^3 Pa * (1 lb / ft^2 / 47.88 Pa) = 31,328.32 lb / ft^2

 

b. 1500 x 10^3 Pa * (1 psi / 6894.76 Pa) = 217.56 psi
