Answer:

i 5.3 cm ii. 72 cm

Explanation:

i

We know upthrust on iron = weight of mercury displaced

To balance, the weight of iron = weight of mercury displaced . So

ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g

ρ₁V₁ = ρ₂V₂ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₂ = density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³ and V₂ = volume of mercury displaced = ?

V₂ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₂ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/13.6 g/cm³ = 529.4 cm³

So, the height of iron above the mercury is h = V₂/area of base iron block

= 529.4 cm³/10² cm² = 5.294 cm ≅ 5.3 cm

ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g

ii

ρ₁V₁ = ρ₃V₃ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₃ = density of water = 1 g/cm³ and V₃ = volume of water displaced = ?

V₃ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₃ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/1 g/cm³ =  7200 cm³

So, the height of column of water is h = V₃/area of base iron block

= 7200 cm³/10² cm² = 72 cm

Nellie pulls on a 10kg wagon with a constant horizontal force of 30N. If there are no other horizontal forces, what is the wagon
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the wagon is 3 m/s².

To calculate the acceleration of the wagon, we use the formula below.

Formula:

F = ma............. Equation 1

Where:

F = horizontal Force

m = mass of the wagon

a = acceleration of the wagon.

make a the subject of the equation

a = F/m.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

F = 30 N

m = 10 kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

a = 30/10

a = 3 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the wagon is 3 m/s².

If your front lawn is 18.0 feet wide and 20.0 feet long, and each square foot of lawn accumulates 1050 new snow flakes every min
Ivanshal [37]
<span>First, we need to determine the entire area of your front line by multiplying its length times its width.
18.0*20.0 = 360.0 square feet
We can use the rate of accumulation of snow, combined with this figure, to determine how much snow accumulates on your lawn per minute.
360.0 sq ft * 1050 flakes/min/sq ft = 378,000 flakes/min
We can then use the mass of a snowflake to calculate total snow accumulation per minute.
378,000 flakes/min * 2.00 mg/flake = 756,000 mg/min
Finally, we can use this number to determine accumulation per hour.
756,000 mg/min * 60 min/hr =
45,360,000 mg/hr</span>

The launch velocity of a toy car launcher is determined to be 5 m/s. If the car is to be launched from a height of 0.5 m, where
lora16 [44]

Answer:

1.6 m

Explanation:

Given that the launch velocity of a toy car launcher is determined to be 5 m/s. If the car is to be launched from a height of 0.5 m.

The time for landing should be calculated by using the second equation of motion formula

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Let U = 0

0.5 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

0.5 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 0.5 / 4.9

t^2 = 0.102

t = 0.32 s

The target should be placed so that the toy car lands on it at:

Distance = 5 × 0.32

distance = 1.597 m

Distance = 1.6 m

Therefore, the target should be placed so that the toy car lands on it 1.6 metres away.
