A rock is suspended by a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the string is 43.8 N . When the rock is totally i

Answer:

Density of unknown liquid is $2047 kg/m^3$

Explanation:

When rock is suspended in air then the weight of the rock is counter balanced by the tension force in the string

So here we have

$T = mg = 43.8 N$

now when the rock is immersed in water then the tension in the string is and buoyancy force due to water is counter balanced by the weight of the object

so here we have

$T_1 + F_b = mg$

$31.3 + F_b = 43.8$

$F_b = 43.8 - 31.3 = 12.5 N$

now we have

$(1000)V(9.81) = 12.5$

$V = 1.27 \times 10^{-3} m^3$

now when the rock is immersed into other liquid then we have

$T_2 + F_b' = mg$

$18.3 + F_b' = 43.8$

$F_b' = 25.5 N$

now we have

$\rho(1.27 \times 10^{-3})(9.81) = 25.5$

$\rho = 2047 kg/m^3$

F = $\frac{gm,m2}{r2}$
r = 0.002

0.0104 = $\frac{(6.673 x 10^{-11} }{ 0.002)^{2} }$

A baseball is launched horizontally from a height of 1.8 m. The baseball travels 0.5 m before hitting the ground. How fast is th

zysi [14]

Answer:

0.83 m/s

Explanation:

FIrst of all, we have to find the time of flight, i.e. the time the baseball needs to reach the ground. This can be done by using the equation for the vertical motion:

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h is the initial height

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting h = 1.8 m and solving for t,

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.8)}{9.8}}=0.61 s$

We know that the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is

d = 0.5 m

Therefore, we can find the horizontal velocity (which is constant during the whole motion):

$v= \frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.5}{0.60}=0.83 m/s$

B.A certain piece of copper wire is determined to have a mass of 2.00 g per meter.

masha68 [24]

Answer:

14cm

Explanation:

Mass per gram of the piece of wire;

2g of the wire is found in 1m

Since

100cm = 1m;

So;

100cm of the wire contains 2g of the wire

To provide 0.28g

Since;

2g of wire is made up of 100cm

0.28g of wire will be contained in $\frac{100 x 0.28}{2}$ = 14cm

14cm of the wire will contain 0.28g
