Density: Two blocks, A and B, are put in a tank of water. Block A has a density of 1.21 g/cm³. Block B has a density of 1.37 g/c

m³. Which will float higher in the water?

Answer:

Block A

Explanation:

Block A will float higher in the water compared to the second Block.

The density of water is 1g/cm³.

According to the principle of floatation "an object that floats in a liquid will displace equal amount of fluid to the weight of the object".

A body will become more submerged in water if it has more density because density is the mass per volume of  body.

An object with a higher density than another will sink in the liquid of the one with lesser density.

  • Object A has lesser density and will float higher up and displace very little water.
  • Object B has higher density and will be more submerged.

A uniformly charged sphere has a potential on its surface of 450 V. At a radial distance of 7.2 m from this surface, the potenti
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The radius of the sphere is 3.6 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Potential of first sphere = 450 V

Radial distance = 7.2 m

If the potential of sphere =150 V

We need to calculate the radius

Using formula for potential

For 450 V

V=\dfrac{kQ}{r}

450=\dfrac{kQ}{r}....(I)

For 150 V

150=\dfrac{kQ}{r+7.2}....(II)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

\dfrac{450}{150}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kQ}{r}}{\dfrac{kQ}{r+7.2}}

3=\dfrac{(r+7.2)}{r}

3r=r+7.2

r=\dfrac{7.2}{2}

r=3.6\ m

Hence, The radius of the sphere is 3.6 m.

(ii) Describe how the acceleration of the train at time t = 100 s differs from the acceleration
quester [9]

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. When acceleration increases a body moves a faster velocity.

  • In the graph acceleration at time t= 100s is rapidly increasing.
  • At t = 20s, the acceleration of the body is getting started up.

A vehicle at time 100s will have a faster velocity compared to one at t = 20s

16. For this table of data, how should the y-axis be labeled (with units)?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The y-axis should be labelled as W in Newtons (kg·m/s²)

Explanation:

The given data is presented here as follows;

Mass (kg)            {}        Newtons (kg·m/s²)

3.2                      {}           31.381

4.6             {}                    45.1111

6.1              {}                    59.821

7.4              {}                    72.569

9                {}                     89.241

10.4              {}                   101.989

10.9              {}                  106.892

From the table, it can be seen that there is a nearly linear relationship between the  amount of Newtons and the  mass, as the slope of the data has a relatively constant slope

Therefore, the data can be said to be a function of Weight in Newtons to the mass in kilograms such that the weight depends on the mass as follows;

W(m) in Newtons = Mass, m in kg × g

Where;

g is the constant of proportionality

Therefore, the y-axis component which is the dependent variable is the function, W(m) = Weight of the body while the x-axis component which is the independent variable is the mass. m

The graph of the data is created with Microsoft Excel give the slope which is the constant of proportionality, g = 9.8379, which is the acceleration due to gravity g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

We therefore label the y-axis as W in Newtons (kg·m/s²)

A 0.2 kg block sliding on a horizontal table slows down from 25 m/s to 20 m/s. How much energy does the block lose due to fricti
Papessa [141]

Answer:

the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 0.2 kg

initial velocity of the block, u = 25 m/s

final velocity of the block, v = 20 m/s

The kinetic energy lost due to friction is calculated as;

\Delta K.E= K.E_f - K.E_i\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -  \frac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}m(v^2 -u^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2} \times 0.2 (20^2 - 25^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= -22.5 \ J

Therefore, the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

If the mass of a 1.8 g paperclip was able to be completely converted to energy, how much energy would you obtain?
Anton [14]

Answer:

E=1.62\times 10^{14}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the paperclip, m = 1.8 g = 0.0018 kg

We need to find the energy obtained. The relation between mass and energy is given by :

E=mc^2

Where

c is the speed of light

So,

E=0.0018\times (3\times 10^8)^2\\\\E=1.62\times 10^{14}\ J

So, the energy obtained is 1.62\times 10^{14}\ J.
