A block of plastic in the shape of a rectangular solid that has height 8.00 cm and area A for its top and bottom surfaces is flo

ating in water. You place coins on the top surface of the block (at the center, so the top surface of the block remains horizontal). By measuring the height of the block above the surface of the water, you can determine the height h below the surface. You measure h for various values of the total mass m of the coins that you have placed on the block. You plot h versus m and find that your data lie close to a straight line that has slope 0.0890 m/kg and y-intercept 0.0312 m. Part A What is the mass of the block?

Answer:

0.35 kg

Explanation:

8 cm = 0.08 m

For the block to stay balance, the buoyancy force must be the same as gravity that pulls it down.

Let mass of the block be M, then the gravity would be Mg

Let water density be \rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3, the buoyancy force would be the weight of water that is displaced by the submerged block.

For example, when there is no coin, block is h_0 = 0.0312m submerged. The weight of water displaced must be

W_0 = Ah_0\rho_wg = 0.0312A1000g = 31.2Ag

Which is also the weight of block, of Mg

Therefore M = 31.2A.    (1)

As coins are stacked on top of block, h increase, so as weight of water displaced and total weight of block and coins. Now let m be the total weight of coins. The gravity of block and weight must be (M+m)g. And the weight of water displaced is:

W = Ah\rho g = (M + m)g

h = \frac{M}{A\rho} + \frac{m}{A\rho}

Since the linear plot of h vs m has a slope of 0.089 m/kg, we can interpret it as

\frac{1}{A\rho} = 0.089

A = \frac{1}{0.089\rho} = \frac{1}{89} = 0.011 m^2

So from the eq. (1) we can solve for M = 31.2A = 0.35 kg

The sun’s___and the planet’s___keeps planets moving is___orbits.
Sauron [17]

The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.

Explanation:

The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:

1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Sun

m is the mass of the planet

r is the distance between the Sun and the planet

This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.

2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.

What is the length of the color attribute?
astraxan [27]

The length of the colour attribute is 6 characters.

<h3>What is a colour attribute?</h3>

Each colour has a distinct look based on three essential characteristics: hue, chroma (saturation), and value (lightness). It's critical to use all three of these properties when describing colour to appropriately identify it and distinguish it from others.

<h3>What is the use of colour attributes?</h3>

The HTML <font> color Attribute specifies the text color within the font element. Values of Attributes: colour name: It uses the colour name to set the text colour.

It should be noticed that colours are represented by the hex triplet.
