A platinum sphere with radius 1.21 cm is totally immersed in mercury. Find the weight of the sphere, the buoyant force acting on

the sphere, and the sphere's apparent weight. The densities of platinum and mercury are 2.14 × 104 kg/m3 and 1.36 × 104 kg/m3, respectively.

Answer:

1.556 N , 0.989 N, 0.567 N

Explanation:

Radius of sphere, r = 1.21 cm = 0.0121 m

density of platinum , d = 2.14 x 10^4 kg/m^3

density of mercury, d' = 13.6 x 10^3 kg/m^3

Volume of sphere, \frac{4}{3}\pi \times r^{3}= \frac{4}{3}\times 1.34\times \left (0.0121  \right )^{3}

V = 7.42 x 10^-6 m^3

Weight of sphere = volume of sphere x density of platinum x gravity

W = V x d x g = 7.42 x 10^-6 x 2.14 x 10^4 x 9.8 = 1.556 N

Buoyant force, B = Volume x density of mercury x gravity

B = 7.42 x 10^-6 x 13.6 x 10^3 x 9.8 = 0.989 N

Apparent weight = True weight - Buoyant force

Apparent weight = 1.556 - 0.989 = 0.567 N

A beam of photons with wavelength 150 nm and beam of electrons having the same energy as the photons go through the same slit of
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

For moving particle , the wavelength is given by the expression

\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE} }

E is kinetic energy of the particle

Here particle is electron and its kinetic energy

E = 150 nm

= 1244 / 150

= 8.3 eV

8.3 X 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ J

=13.28 X 10⁻¹⁹ J

Putting these values in the expression for wavelength as given above we have

\lambda=\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times13.28\times10^{-19}} }

λ = .425 nm

Wave length of electron wave will be 0.425 nm

Hence its wavelength will be smaller and therefore magnitude of angle made by it will also be smaller. So magnitude of β will be smaller than that of α .

An 1120 kg car traveling at 17 m/s is brought to a stop while skidding 40 m. Calculate the work done on the car by friction forc
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Approximately (-1.6 \times 10^{5}\; \rm J) (assuming that the car was on level ground.)

Explanation:

When an object of mass m is moving at a speed of v, the kinetic energy of that object would be (1/2) \, m \cdot v^{2}.

Initial kinetic energy of the car:

\begin{aligned}&\frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^{2} \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\times 1120\; \rm kg \times (17\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1})^{2} \\ &\approx 1.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm J \end{aligned}.

After the car comes to a stop, the kinetic energy of this car would be 0\; \rm J because the car would not be moving.

Change to the kinetic energy of the car: \text{Final KE} - \text{Initial KE} = -1.6 \times 10^{5}\; \rm J.

If the car is traveling on level ground, friction would be the only force that contributed to this energy change. Hence:

\text{Work of friction} = \text{Energy change} = -1.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm J.

The value of the work that friction did is negative. The reason is that at any instant before the car comes to a stop, friction would be exactly opposite to the direction of the movement of the car.

The work of a force on an object is the dot product of that force and the displacement of that object. The dot product of two vectors of opposite directions is negative. Hence, in this question, the work that friction did on the car would be negative because the friction vector would be opposite to the movement of the car.
