Salt is now added to the water in the bucket, increasing the density of the liquid. what happens to the tension in the string ?

AlexFokin [52]

The question involves a ping-pong ball that is held submerged in a bucket by a string attached to the bottom of the bucket.

The answer is the tension of the string will increase. This is because making the water salty increases its density, and consequently, increases its buoyancy. This is why sea water is more buoyant than fresh water. Therefore the ping pong is pushed more upwards by the water when salt is added than initially. This gives the string more tension.

A small object with a 5.0-mC charge is accelerating horizontally on a friction-free surface at 0.0050 m/s2 due only to an electr

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$0.002 N/C$

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Charge of object, q = 5 mC = $5 * 10^{-3} C$

Acceleration of object, a = $0.005 m/s^2$

Mass of object, m = 2.0 g

The Electric field exerts a particular force on the object, causing it to accelerate (Electrostatic force).

We know that Electrostatic force, F, is given in terms of Electric field, E, as:

F = qE

This means that the object exerts a force of -qE on the Electric force (Action with equal and opposite reaction).

The object also has a force, F, due to its acceleration a. This force is the product of its mass and acceleration. Mathematically:

F = ma

Equating the two forces of the object, we get:

-qE = ma

=> $E = \frac{-ma}{q}$

Solving for E, we have:

$E = \frac{-2 * 10^{-3} * 0.005}{5 * 10^{-3}} \\\\\\E = -0.002 N/C$

The magnitude will be:

$|E| = |-0.002| N/C = 0.002 N/C$

The electric field has a magnitude of 0.002 N/C.

Three identical resistors are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance increases by 630 when one resistor is removed and

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

each resistor is 540 Ω

Explanation:

Let's assign the letter R to the resistance of the three resistors involved in this problem. So, to start with, the three resistors are placed in parallel, which results in an equivalent resistance $R_e$ defined by the formula:

$\frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R} } +\frac{1}{R} } +\frac{1}{R} \\\frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{3}{R} \\R_e=\frac{R}{3}$

Therefore, R/3 is the equivalent resistance of the initial circuit.

In the second circuit, two of the resistors are in parallel, so they are equivalent to:

$\frac{1}{R'_e}=\frac{1}{R} +\frac{1}{R}\\\frac{1}{R'_e}=\frac{2}{R} \\R'_e=\frac{R}{2} \\$

and when this is combined with the third resistor in series, the equivalent resistance ( $R''_e$ ) of this new circuit becomes the addition of the above calculated resistance plus the resistor R (because these are connected in series):

$R''_e=R'_e+R\\R''_e=\frac{R}{2} +R\\R''_e=\frac{3R}{2}$

The problem states that the difference between the equivalent resistances in both circuits is given by:

$R''_e=R_e+630 \,\Omega$

so, we can replace our found values for the equivalent resistors (which are both in terms of R) and solve for R in this last equation:

$\frac{3R}{2} =\frac{R}{3} +630\,\Omega\\\frac{3R}{2} -\frac{R}{3} = 630\,\Omega\\\frac{7R}{6} = 630\,\Omega\\\\R=\frac{6}{7} *630\,\Omega\\R=540\,\Omega$
