Answer:

Density of unknown liquid is 2047 kg/m^3

Explanation:

When rock is suspended in air then the weight of the rock is counter balanced by the tension force in the string

So here we have

T = mg = 43.8 N

now when the rock is immersed in water then the tension in the string is and buoyancy force due to water is counter balanced by the weight of the object

so here we have

T_1 + F_b = mg

31.3 + F_b = 43.8

F_b = 43.8 - 31.3 = 12.5 N

now we have

(1000)V(9.81) = 12.5

V = 1.27 \times 10^{-3} m^3

now when the rock is immersed into other liquid then we have

T_2 + F_b' = mg

18.3 + F_b' = 43.8

F_b' = 25.5 N

now we have

\rho(1.27 \times 10^{-3})(9.81) = 25.5

\rho = 2047 kg/m^3

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh
lozanna [386]
Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

A slit of width 2.0 μm is used in a single slit experiment with light of wavelength 650 nm. If the intensity at the central maxi
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The intensity at 10° from the center is 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

Explanation:

The intensity of light I = I₀(sinα/α)² where α = πasinθ/λ

I₀ = maximum intensity of light

a = slit width = 2.0 μm = 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ m

θ = angle at intensity point = 10°

λ = wavelength of light = 650 nm = 650 × 10⁻⁹ m

α = πasinθ/λ

= π(2.0 × 10⁻⁶ m)sin10°/650 × 10⁻⁹ m

= 1.0911/650 × 10³

= 0.001679 × 10³

= 1.679

Now, the intensity I is

I = I₀(sinα/α)²

= I₀(sin1.679/1.679)²

= I₀(0.0293/1.679)²

= 0.0175²I₀

= 0.0003063I₀

= 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

So, the intensity at 10° from the center is 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

which fire extinguisher is most appropriate to put out a fire that involves a stack of burning newspapers
evablogger [386]

Monoammonium phosphate effectively smothers the fire, while sodium bicarbonate induces a chemical reaction which extinguishes the fire. Fire extinguishers with a Class C rating are suitable for fires in “live” electrical equipment.
