Y_Kistochka [10]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A fossil fuel power station is a thermal power station which burns a fossil fuel, such as coal or natural gas, to produce electricity. Fossil fuel power stations have machinery to convert the heat energy of combustion into mechanical energy, which then operates an electrical generator.

a ball of diameter 10 cm and mass 10 grams is dropped in a container of water. the cross sectional area of the container is 100
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

h = 9.83 cm

Explanation:

Let's analyze this interesting exercise a bit, let's start by comparing the density of the ball with that of water

       

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

         r = 10 cm = 0.10 m

         m = 10 g = 0.010 kg

         A = 100 cm² = 0.01 m²

the definition of density is

          ρ = m / V

the volume of a sphere

         V = \frac{4}{3} \ \pi r^{3}

          V = \frac{4}{3} π 0.1³

          V = 4.189 10⁻³ m³

let's calculate the density of the ball

           ρ = \frac{0.010}{4.189 \ 10^{-3} }

           ρ = 2.387 kg / m³

the tabulated density of water is

         ρ_water = 997 kg / m³

we can see that the density of the body is less than the density of water. Consequently the body floats in the water, therefore the water level that rises corresponds to the submerged part of the body. Let's write the equilibrium equation

            B - W = 0

            B = W

             

where B is the thrust that is given by Archimedes' principle

           ρ_liquid  g V_submerged = m g

           V_submerged = m / ρ_liquid

we calculate

            V _submerged = 0.10 9.8 / 997

             V_submerged = 9.83 10⁻⁴ m³

The volume increassed of the water container

           V = A h

            h = V / A

let's calculate

            h = 9.83 10⁻⁴ / 0.01

            h = 0.0983  m

this is equal to h = 9.83 cm

If your chunk of gold weighed 1 N in which case would you have the largest mass of gold?
kotykmax [81]
Ah ha !  Very interesting question.
Thought-provoking, even.

You have something that weighs 1 Newton, and you want to know 
the situation in which the object would have the greatest mass.

          Weight = (mass) x (local gravity)

          Mass  =  (weight) / (local gravity)

          Mass  =  (1 Newton) / (local gravity)

"Local gravity" is the denominator of the fraction, so the fraction
has its greatest value when 'local gravity' is smallest.  This is the
clue that gives it away.

If somebody offers you 1 chunk of gold that weighs 1 Newton,
you say to him:

   "Fine !  Great !  Golly gee, that's sure generous of you.  
But before you start weighing the chunk to give me, I want you
to take your gold and your scale to Pluto, and weigh my chunk
there.   And if you don't mind, be quick about it."

The local acceleration of gravity on Pluto is  0.62 m/s² ,
but on Earth, it's 9.81 m/s.

So if he weighs 1 Newton of gold for you on Pluto, its mass will be
1.613 kilograms, and it'll weigh 15.82 Newtons here on Earth. 

That's almost 3.6 pounds of gold, worth over $57,000 !


It would be even better if you could convince him to weigh it on
Halley's Comet, or on any asteroid.  Wherever he's willing to go
that has the smallest gravity.  That's the place where the largest
mass weighs 1 Newton.

Which of the following accurately describes the behavior of water when subject to temperature change? A. The volume of water wil
nata0808 [166]

Choices 'C' and 'D' are both correct.

(Except in 'C', changing the temperature from 1°C to 3°C is not usually
described as 'cooling', and it's not the water's 'mass' that changes.  But
water does contract in volume during that change.)
