A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the

wood in air and the lead weight submerged in water is 0.0765 kg. The apparent mass with the wood and the lead weight both submerged in water is 0.0452 kg. What is the specific gravity of the wood

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56

A 56.6-kg crate rests on a level floor at a shipping dock. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.517 and 0.260,
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of frictional force = μ mg

μ is either static or kinetic friction.

To start the crate moving , static friction is calculated .

a ) To start crate moving , force required = μ mg where μ is coefficient of static friction .

force required =.517 x 56.6  x 9.8 = 286.76  N .

b ) to  slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed , force required

= μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic  friction , where μ is kinetic friction

= .26 x 56.6  x 9.8 = 144.21 N .

How does the electrostatic force compare with the strong nuclear force in the
diamong [38]

Answer:

Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force

Explanation:

There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:

- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

F_E=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the  charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.

The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.

- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.

At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.

A 35-mm single lens reflex (SLR) digital camera is using a lens of focal length 35.0 mm to photograph a person who is 1.80 m tal
olganol [36]

Answer:

a) 35.44 mm

b) 17.67 mm

Explanation:

u = Object distance =  3.6 m

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 35 mm

h_u= Object height = 1.8 m

a) Lens Equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{35}-\frac{1}{3600}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{713}{25200} \\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25200}{713}=35.34\ mm

The CCD sensor is 35.34 mm from the lens

b) Magnification

m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{35.34}{3600}

m=\frac{h_v}{h_u}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{35.34}{3600}=\frac{h_v}{1800}\\\Rightarrow h_v=-\frac{35.34}{3600}\times 1800=-17.67\ mm

The person appears 17.67 mm tall on the sensor
