You have an evacuated, iron spherical shell and want to know how thick the shell wall is. However, you cannot cut open the iron

shell to measure the thickness of the wall. The ball just floats once completely submerged in water, and you measure the outer diameter to be 58.7 cm. If the density of iron is 7.87 g/cm3, what is the thickness of the wall?

Answer:

26 cm

Explanation:

V = Volume

R = Outer radius of the shell = 58.7 cm

r = Inner radius of the shell

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

\rho = Density

As the shell is completely submerged

Force on shell

F=v\rho g\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3\times 1000g

Weight of the shell

W=\frac{4}{3}\pi (R^3-r^3)\times 7870g

Equating the two equations as the forces are conserved

\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3\times 1000g=\frac{4}{3}\pi (R^3-r^3)\times 7870g\\\Rightarrow R^3\times 1000=(R^3-r^3)\times 7870\\\Rightarrow R^3=(R^3-r^3)\frac{7870}{1000}\\\Rightarrow R^3=(R^3-r^3)7.87\\\Rightarrow 6.87R^3=r^37.87\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\frac{6.87}{7.87}\times0.587^3\right )^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=0.561\ m

Inner radius of the shell is 0.561 m

The thickness of the wall is 0.587-0.561 = 0.026 m = 26 cm

A projectile fired from a gun has initial horizontal and vertical components of velocity equal to 30 m/s and 40 m/s, respectivel
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The time is 5.10 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Component of velocity are 30 m/s and 40 m/s.

We need to calculate the resultant velocity

Using formula of resultant velocity

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^2+v_{y}^2}

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{(30)^2+(40)^2}

v=50\ m/s[

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

v = u+gt

v = 0+gt

t=\dfrac{v}{g}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{50}{9.8}

t=5.10\ sec

Hence, The time is 5.10 sec.

Adding powdered Gatorade to water makes a tasty solution. What is the solvent in this example? A) water B) salt and sugar C) Gat
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: The correct answer is A.

Explanation: In a solution, the substance which is in larger proportion is called as a solvent and the substance which is in smaller proportion is called as a solute.

When we mix a powdered Gatorade in the water, the Gatorade is present smaller proportion and hence will be considered as a solute in a solution and water is present in larger proportion and will be considered as solvent in a solution.

Hence, the correct option is A.

What is the surface area to volume ratio of this cube
tamaranim1 [39]

I can't see that cube from here.

But if the length of the side of the cube is ' K ' units,
then the surface area of the cube is  6K² units², and
the volume of the cube is  K³ units³.

The ratio of the surface area to the volume is

               (6K² units²) / (K³ units³)  =  (6) / (K units) .

So for example, if the side of the cube is 2 inches, then
the ratio of surface area to volume is  "3 per inch".

That's the answer.  I did the whole thing in order to earn
the points, but I don't expect you to understand much of it,
because I see from your username that you suck at math.
I'm sorry you decided that.  Now that you've put up the
brick wall, it'll be even harder for any math to find its way
in there, and you'll miss out on a lot of the fun.
