Answer:

Explanation:

Mass = 624 gm = .624 kg

weight = .624 x 9.8

= 6.11 N

Radius of ball = 12.15 x 10⁻² cm

volume of ball

= 4/3 x 3.14 x ( 12.15 x 10⁻²)³

= 7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Buoyant force = weight of displaced water

= 7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ x 10³ x 9.8

= 73.59 N

b ) Since buoyant force exceeds the weight of the ball , it will float .

c )

Let volume v sticks out while floating .

Volume under water

= 7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ - v

its weight

= (7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ - v ) x 10³ x 9.8

For floating

(7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ - v ) x 10³ x 9.8  =  .624 x 9.8 ( weight of ball )

(7509.26 x 10⁻⁶ - v ) x 10³ = .624

7.509 - v x 10³ = .624

v x 10³ = 7.509 - .624

v x 10³ = 6.885

v = 6.885 x 10⁻³ m³

fraction

= v / total volume

=  6.885 x 10⁻³ / 7.51 x 10⁻³

Suppose A=BnCm, where A has dimensions LT, B has dimensions L2T-1, and C has dimensions LT2. Then the exponents n and m have the
julsineya [31]

Explanation:

The expression is :

A=B^nC^m

A =[LT], B=[L²T⁻¹], C=[LT²]

Using dimensional of A, B and C in above formula. So,

A=B^nC^m\\\\\ [LT]=[L^2T^{-1}]^n[LT^2}]^m\\\\\ [LT]=L^{2n}T^{-n}L^mT^{2m}\\\\\ [LT]=L^{2n+m}T^{2m-n}

Comparing the powers both sides,

2n+m=1 ...(1)

2m-n=1 ...(2)

Now, solving equation (1) and (2) we get :

n=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\m=\dfrac{3}{5}

Hence, the correct option is (E).

In what way is a touch screen similar to a CCD? In what way is it different?
kupik [55]
A charge-coupled device (CCD) is a light-sensitive integrated circuit that captures images by converting photons to electrons.

A touch screen is a computer display screen that is also an input device. The screens are sensitive to pressure; a user interacts with the computer by touching pictures or words on the screen.

The similarity is the sensitivity.
The difference is CCD scans or ‘takes images’, whereas touch-screen is where a user interacts with the software.

Hope this helps!
