Answer:

To separate the magnetic substance from the scrap.

Explanation:

The electromagnets are the magnets which shows magnetic properties when the electric current pass through them.

The magnetic substances are attracted towards the electromagnet from the scrap.

We can increase or decrease the strength of electromagnet by increasing or decreasing the strength of electric current pass through it.

If the only forces acting on a 2.0kg mass are F1 = (3i-8j)N and F2 = (5i+3j)N, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the
belka [17]

Answer: 4.7m/s²

Explanation:

According to newton's first law,

Force = mass × acceleration

Since we are given more the one force, we will take the resultant of the two vectors.

Mass = 2.0kg

F1+F2 = (3i-8j)+(5i+3j)

Adding component wise, we have;

F1+F2 = 3i+5i-8j+3j

F1+F2 = 8i-5j

Resultant of the sum of the forces will be;

R² = (8i)²+(-5j)²

Since i.i = j.j = 1

R² = 8²+5²

R² = 64+25

R² = 89

R = √89

R = 9.4N

Our resultant force = 9.4N

Substituting in the formula

F = ma

9.4 = 2a

a = 9.4/2

a = 4.7m/s²

Therefore, magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is 4.7m/s²

Explanation:

<u>Question 6:</u>

The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³

The density of silver is 10.5 g/cm³

  • The density of the substance in Crown A;

Density = mass ÷ volume = \frac{1930}{100} = 19.3 g/cm³

Since the density of gold, given, is 19.3 g/cm³ and the density of the substance in Crown A has a density of 19.3 g/cm³ , then that substance must be gold.

  • The density of the substance in Crown B;

Density = mass ÷ volume = 1930 ÷ 184 = 10.48913043  g/cm³ ≈ 10.5 g/cm³  (answer rounded up to one decimal place)

Since the density of the substance in Crown B is approximately equal to 10.5 g/cm³ , then that substance is Silver.

  • The density of substance in Crown C;

Density = mass ÷ volume = 1930g ÷ 150cm³ = 12.86666667 ≈ 12.9 cm³ (answer rounded up to one decimal place)

<h3><u>The density of the mixture:</u></h3><h3 />

For 2 cm³ of the mixture, its mass equal 19.3 g + 10.5 g = 29.8 g

∴ for 1 cm³ of the mixture, its mass equal to \frac{29.8}{2} = 14.9 g

Hence the density of the mixture = 14.9 g/cm³ and is not equal to the density of the substance in Crown C.

* Crown C is not made up of a mixture of gold and silver.

<u>Question 7:</u>

<u />

  • An empty masuring cylinder has a mass of 500 g.
  • Water is poured into measuring cylinder until the liquid level is at the 100 cm³ mark.
  • The total mass is now 850 g

The mass of water that occupied the 100 cm³ space of the container = total mass - mass of the empty container = 850 g - 500 g = 350 g

Density of the liquid (water) poured into the container = mass ÷  volume = 350 g ÷ 100 cm³ = 3.5g/cm³

<u>Question 8:</u>

<u />

A tank filled with water has a volume of 0.02 m³

(a) 1 liter = 0.001 m³

How many liters? = 0.02 m³ ?

Cross multiplying gives:

\frac{0.02 * 1}{0.001} =  20 liters

(b) 1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³

0.02 m³ = how many cm³ ?

Cross-multiplying gives;

\frac{0.02 * 1,000,000}{1} = 20,000 cm³

(c) 1 cm³ = 1 ml

∴ 0.02 m³ of the water = 20,000 cm³ = 20,000 ml

<u>Question 9:</u>

<u />

Caliper (a) measurement = 3.2 cm

Caliper (b) measurement = 3 cm

<u>Question 10:</u>

<u />

  • A stone is gently and completely immersed in a liquid of density 1.0 g/cm³
  • in a displacement can
  • The mass of liquid which overflow is 20 g

The mass of the liquid which overflow = mass of the stone = 20 g

1 gram of the liquid occupies 1 cm³ of space.

20 g of the liquid will occupy; \frac{20 * 1}{1} = 20 cm³

(a) Since the volume of the water displaced is equal to the volume of the stone.

∴ The volume of the stone = 20 cm³

(b) Mass = density ×  volume

Density of the stone = 5.0 g/cm³

Volume of the stone = 20 cm³

Mass of the stone = 5 g/cm³ × 20 cm³ = 100 g

How do you find the water pressure at the bottom of the 55-m-high water tower?
svp [43]
-- What's the volume of a cylinder with radius=1m and height=55m ?

         ( Volume of a cylinder = π R² h )

-- How much does that volume of water weigh ?

            1 liter of water = 1 kilogram of mass
            Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) 

-- What's the area of the bottom of that 1m-radius cylinder ?

       Pressure  =  (force) / (area)
