An object with height h, mass M, and a uniform cross-sectional area A floats upright in a liquid with density ρ.

1 answer:

7 0

** Missing information: The vertical distance from surface of liquid to bottom of the object is sought in this question, with the condition that the object is at equilibrium **

Ans: The vertical distance = y = M/(ρA)

Explanation:

Support the vertical distance = y

Object's density = M/(A*h) (since A*h = volume)

By applying the condition,

(M/(Ah))/ρ = y/h

M/(ρAh) = y/h

y = M/(ρA)

One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a s

baherus [9]

Given that,

Central maximum = 1 cm

Distance from the window shade to the wall =4 m

We know that,

The visible range of the sun light is 400 nm to 700 nm.

(a). We need to calculate the average wavelength

Using formula of average wavelength

$\lambda_{avg}=\dfrac{\lambda_{1}+\lambda_{2}}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda_{avg}=\dfrac{400+700}{2}$

$\lambda_{avg}=550\ nm$

(b). We need to calculate the diameter of the pinhole

Using formula for diameter

$w=\dfrac{2.44\lambda L}{D}$

$D=\dfrac{2.44\lambda L}{w}$

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{2.44\times550\times10^{-9}\times4}{1\times10^{-2}}$

$D=0.537\ mm$

Hence, (a). The average wavelength 550 nm.

(b). The diameter of the pinhole is 0.537 mm.

Which of the following is true about Viscosity of liquids:

White raven [17]

Viscosity of liquids is essentially the 'thickness' of the liquid. For instance, honey and water have different viscosities. Honey has a higher one and therefore, liquids with high viscosity do not flow as well as liquids with low viscosity (water).

A ball is held at rest at the top of a hill. The ball is then released and starts rolling down the hill. At the bottom it reache

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Gravitational Potential Energy

Explanation:

a ball is held rest at the top of hill

gravitational potential energy will store due to its height

it. and body will start move downward and its potential energy will convert into kinetic energy due to motion of body

at the ground level it will stop and potential energy will became zero and kinetic energy get convert into internal energy due to collisions
