an object will float at the surface of a liquid if the mass of the object is less than the mess of the liquid that it displaces.

A spherical vessel (diameter = 5cm) when empty has a mass of 12g. What is the greatest volume of water that can be placed in the vessel and still have the vessel float at the surface of benzene?

Answer:

45.44 mL

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • m = mass of the empty spherical vessel = 12 g = 0.012 kg
  • d = diameter of the spherical vessel = 5 cm

Assume:

  • r = radius of the spherical vessel = \dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{5\ cm}{2} = 2.5\ cm = 2.5\times 10^{-2}\ m
  • \rho = density of benzene = 876\ kg/m^3
  • \rho_w = density of water = 997\ kg/m^3
  • V = the greatest volume of water that can be placed in the vessel
  • v = volume of the spherical vessel

According to the given question, an object floats at the surface of a liquid if the mass of the object is less than the mass of the liquid displaced by it.

Let the greatest volume of water that can be put in the vessel so that it still floats at the surface of the benzene. Then the sum of the masses of the volume of water in the vessel and the empty vessel is equal to the mass of the volume of benzene displaced by the whole vessel.

i.e., Mass of water in the vessel + Mass of the empty vessel = Mass of the benzene displaced by the whole vessel

\Rightarrow V\rho_w+m=v \rho\\\Rightarrow V\rho_w+m=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\rho\\\Rightarrow V\rho_w=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\times \rho-m\\\Rightarrow V\rho_w=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (2.5\times 10^{-2})^3\times 876-0.012\\\Rightarrow V\rho_w=0.0573-0.012\\\Rightarrow V\times 997=0.0453\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{0.0453}{997}\\\Rightarrow V=4.544\times 10^{-5}\ m^3\\\Rightarrow V=4.544\times 10^{-5}\times 10^6\ mL\\\Rightarrow V=45.44\ mL

Hence, the greatest volume of water that can be placed in the vessel such that it still floats on the benzene surface is 45.44 mL.

Ann [662]

Answer:

Number of electron on the fur will be 5\times 10^{10}electron

Explanation:

We have given net charge on the fur q=8nC=8\times 10^{-9}C

Charge on one electron e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C

Let there are n number of electrons

So ne=8\times 10^{-9}

n\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=8\times 10^{-9}

n=5\times 10^{10}electron

So number of electron on the fur will be 5\times 10^{10}electron

It takes a wave traveling on a string 1.2 s to complete a full cycle. You measure the distance it takes to repeat itself to be 1
MArishka [77]

Answer:

1.5 m/s.

Explanation:

The Speed of a wave is the product of the wavelength and its  frequency or it is the ratio of it wavelength and its Period. It can be expressed mathematically as

V = λf or λ/T .............................. Equation 1

Where V = speed of the wave travelling on the string, λ = wavelength of the wave, T = period of the wave, F = frequency of the wave.

Given: λ = 1.8 m ( distance it takes to repeat itself), T = 1.2 s (Time taken to complete a full cycle)

Substitute into equation 1

V = 1.8/1.2

V = 1.5 m/s.

Hence the wave is 1.5 m/s fast.

Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet
nevsk [136]
The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet

So, if they have the same a:

m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m

<em>Thus, the answer is D.</em>

What are the strength and direction of an electric field that will balance the weight of a 0.9 g plastic sphere that has been ch
Vladimir79 [104]
(a) The force exerted by the electric field on the plastic sphere is equal to
F=qE
where q=-3.4 nC=-3.4 \cdot 10^{-9} C is the charge of the sphere and E is the strength of the electric field. This force should balance the weight of the sphere:
F=mg =0.9 g
where m is the mass of the sphere and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Since the two forces must be equal, we have:
qE=mg
and so we find the intensity of the electric field
E= \frac{mg}{q}= \frac{0.9 \cdot 9.81 m/s^2}{3.4 \cdot 10^{-9} C} =2.6 \cdot 10^9 N/C

(b) Now let's find the direction of the field. The electric force must balance the weight of the sphere, which is directed downward, so the electric force should be directed upward. Since the charge is negative, the force is opposite to the electric field direction, and so the direction of the electric field is downward.
