Answer:

Volume of secret cavity = 4 x 10⁻⁶m³

Explanation:

The weight of the sculpture in air is 15.76 N

Mass of the sculpture = 1.61 kg

Mass = Volume x Density

1.61 = V x 8470

Volume of brass =1.90 x 10⁻⁴ m³

When it is submerged in water, the weight is 13.86 N.

That is

  Weight of sculpture - Weight of water displaced = 13.86 N

  15.76 - Weight of water displaced = 13.86

   Weight of water displaced = 1.9 N

   Mass of water displaced = 0.194 kg

 Mass = Volume x Density

  0.194 = V x 1000

  Volume of water displaced =1.94 x 10⁻⁴ m³

Volume of secret cavity =  Volume of water displaced - Volume of brass material

Volume of secret cavity = 1.94 x 10⁻⁴-1.94 x 10⁻⁴ = 0.04x 10⁻⁴ = 4 x 10⁻⁶m³

Suppose a grower sprays (2.2x10^1) kg of water at 0 °C onto a fruit tree of mass 180 kg. How much heat is released by the water
Bond [772]

There is no temperature change which drives heat flow, thus no heat will be released by the water.

<h3>Heat released by the water when it freezes</h3>

The heat released by the water when it freezes is calculated as follows;

Q = mcΔФ

where;

  • m is mass of water
  • c is specific heat capacity of water
  • ΔФ is change in temperature = Фf - Фi

Initial temperature of water, Фi = 0 °C

when water freezes, the final temperature, Фf = 0 °C

Q = 22 x 4200 x (0 - 0)

Q = 0

Since there is no temperature change which drives heat flow, thus no heat will be released by the water.

Jane, looking for tarzan, is running at top speed (5.2 m/s) and grabs a vine hanging 4.5 m vertically from a tall tree in the ju
kumpel [21]
While Jane is running has a kinetic energy, which is Ek = 1/2*m*v^2 where m is mass and v is velocity  When she grabs a vine, she is going to change the kinetic energy to potential energy.  
We know that potential energy is given by Ep = m*g*h where m is mass, g is gravity constant and h is height  
So while running the kinetic energy is Ek = 1/2 * m * 5.2^2 = 13.52*m 
Then all that energy is used to swing upward and gain potential energy 
Ep = m*g*h = Ek = 13.52*m  
m*9.8*h = 13.52*m 
h = 13.52/9.8 = 1.38 meters  
So Jane will swing 1.38 meters upward

In a system with only a single force acting upon a body, what is the relationship between the change in kinetic energy and the w
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: W.D = 1/2mv^2

Explanation:

If an external force or a single force is acting on a body. Just like the first law of thermodynamics, the force acting on the body will cause work done on the system.

Work done = force × distance

And the work done on the body will cause the molecules of the body to experience motion and thereby producing kinetic energy.

The work done will be converted to kinetic energy.

W.D = 1/2mv^2

A 10 N board of uniform density is 5 meters long. It is supported on the left by a string bearing a 3 N upward force. In order t
NikAS [45]

Answer:

C.\frac{25}{7}m

Explanation:

We are given that

Weight of board=w=10 N

Length of board=L=5 m

Tension in the string=T=3 N

Applied upward force=F=7 N

We have to find the distance at which its left wedge would they need to place this force in order for the board to be in static equilibrium.

Let r be the distance at which its left wedge would they need to place this force in order for the board to be in static equilibrium.

The board is uniform therefore, the center of board is the mid- point of board.

Therefore, the lever arm of weight=r_1=\frac{L}{2}=\frac{5}{2}m

Now, the torque exerted by the weight of the board

\tau_1=Force\times perpendicular\;distance=10\times \frac{5}{2}=25 N

The torque exerted  by applied force=\tau_2=7\times r=7r

In static equilibrium

The sum of rotational forces=0

\tau_1+\tau_2=0

The two rotational force act in opposite direction therefore,

\tau_2=-7r

Substitute the values

25-7r=0

7r=25

r=\frac{25}{7}m

Hence, option C is true.
