You, Archimedes, suspect that the king’s crown is not solid gold but is instead gold-plated lead. To test your theory, you weigh

the crown, and find it to weigh 60.0 N, and to have an apparent weight of 56.4 N when it is completely submerged in water. Take the density of gold to be 19300 kg/m^3, the density of lead to be 11340 kg/m^3, and the density of water to be 1000 kg/m^3. Also, use g = 9.80 m/s^2. What percentage (by weight) of this crown is made of gold? The rest, by the way, is lead.
(a) What is the average density of the crown?
Correct: Your answer is correct. kg/m3
(b) What percentage (by weight) of this crown is made of gold? The rest, we assume, is lead.
Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. %

Answer:

a) 16675.75 Kg/m³ b) 77.6%

Explanation:

the weight of the crown = 60 N, density of gold = 19300 Kg/m^3, density of lead = 11340 kg/m^3, density of water = 1000kg/m^3 and acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

upthrust on the crown = weight in air - weight when fully submerged in water = 60 - 56.4 = 3.6 N

mass of water displaced = 3.6 / 9.8  since weight = mass × g

mass of water displaced = 0.367 Kg

density of water = mass / volume

1000 = 0.367 / volume

cross multiply and find volume

volume of the crown = 0.367 / 1000 = 0.000367 m³ since the crown will displace water of equal volume according to Archimedes principle

Let V1 represent the volume of Gold and let V2 represent the volume of lead

Total volume of the crown = V1 + V2

also

density of gold = mass of gold / V1 and density of lead = mass of lead / V2

19300 = mass of gold in the crown / V1 and 11340 = mass of lead in the crown / V2

19300 V1 = mass of gold and 11340 V2 = mass of lead

add the two together

19300 V1 + 11340 V2 = weigth of the crown / 9.8

19300 V1 + 11340 V2 = 6.12 also

V1 + V2 = 0.000367

make V1 subject of the formula in equation 2

V1 = 0.000367 - V2

substitute for V1 in equation 1

19300 (0.000367 - V2) + 11340 V2 = 6.12

open the bracket

7.083 - 19300 V2 + 11340 V2 = 6.12

rearrange the equation

-7960 V2 = 6.12 - 7.083  

-7960 V2 = -0.963

V2 = -0.963 / -7960 = 0.000121 (volume of lead in the crown)

substitute V2 into equation 2

V1 + 0.000121  = 0.000367m³

V1 = 0.000367 - 0.000121 = 0.000246m³ (volume of gold in the crown)

so mass of gold in the crown = 19300 × 0.000246 = 4.748 kg

and mass of lead = 11340 × 0.000121 = 1.372 kg

average density of the crown = (mass of gold + mass of lead) / total volume = 6.12 / 0.000367 = 16675.75 kg/ m³

b) percentage make of gold = mass of gold / total mass × 100 = 77.6 % approx

Assume that the speed of light in a vacuum has the hypothetical value of 18.0 m/s. A car is moving at a constant speed of 14.0 m
denis23 [38]

Answer:

4.245s

Explanation:

Given that,

Hypothetical value of speed of light in a vacuum is 18 m/s

Speed of the car, 14 m/s

Time given is 6.76 s, and we're asked to find the observed time, T

The relationship between the two times can be given as

T = t / √[1 - (v²/c²)]

The missing variable were looking for is t, and we can find it if we rearrange the formula and make t the subject

t = T / √[1 - (v²/c²)]

And now, we substitute the values and insert into the equation

t = 6.76 * √[1 - (14²/18²)]

t = 6.76 * √[1 - (196/324)]

t = 6.76 * √(1 - 0.605)

t = 6.76 * √0.395

t = 6.76 * 0.628

t = 4.245 s

Therefore, the time the driver measures for the trip is 4.245s

A series RCL circuit consists of a 50 Ω resistor, 500 Ω capacitor, and a 500 Ω inductor. What is the angle of impedance?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

here, the inductive reactance and the capacitive reactance is same, so this is the condition for resonance.

In the condition for resonance,

the circuit and the voltage in the circuit is in the same phase and the impedance of the circuit is minimum which is equal to the resistance of the circuit.

The phase angle is given by

tan\phi =\frac{X_{L}-X_{C}}{R}

Ф = 0
