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

Define frequency in terms of a wave
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Explanation:

For a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given period of time. So while wave frequency refers to the number of cycles occurring per second, wave speed refers to the meters traveled per second

Two charges, -20 C and +4.7 C, are fixed in place and separated by 3.0 m. a. At what spot along a line through the charges is th
Pani-rosa [81]

The zero net electric field point is at a point that is 0.98 m away from 4.7C charge.If a 14C charge is placed at this point then, force acted on the charge placed at this point is equal to zero.

Explanation:

Let at A both net electric field is zero then

At A ,E1=E2

E1=k*Iq1I / (d+x)^2

E2=k*Iq2I /x^2

Equating both
