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 wave has a wavelength of 0.5 m and a frequency of 5.0 Hz. What is the speed of the wave?
mylen [45]
The correct option is (A) 2.5 m/s

Explanation:
Since,

v = fλ ---- (1)

where v = speed of the wave
f = frequency of the wave = 5 Hz
λ = wavelength of the wave = 0.5 

Plug in the value in (1):
(1) => v = 5 * 0.5
v = 2.5 m/s

What change takes place in a wave when the frequency of the wave increases?
Musya8 [376]
The answer is C. As the frequency of the waves increases, a greater number of wavelengths pass a given point per second. From the wave formula, we see that there is an indirect relationship between frequency and the wavelength. thus, as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases resulting to a smaller distance between the waves which will show greater number of wavelengths between waves.

The isotope 23893Np has a half-life of 2.0 days. If 4.00 grams are produced at noon on Monday, what will be the mass of neptuniu
viva [34]

Answer:

0.25 gram of neptunium is remaining

Explanation:

First we calculate the no. of half lives passed. For that we have formula:

n = t/T

where,

n = no. of half lives passed = ?

t = total time passed = 8 days (From Monday noon to Tuesday noon of following week)

T = Half Life Period = 2 days

Therefore,

n = 8 days/2 days

n = 4

Now, for the remaining mass of neptunium, we use the formula:

m = (mi)/(2)^n

where,

mi = initial mass of neptunium = 4.00 grams

m = remaining mass of neptunium = ?

Therefore,

m = 4 grams/2⁴

<u>m = 0.25 gram</u>

In the livingroom of your house you would like to run a 360 W stereo, a 30 W computer, a 1200 W laser light projector, and three
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: current = 16.25A

Explanation:

Stereo = 360w, computer = 30w, laser light projector = 1200w, 3 120w- lights = 3 * 120 = 360w

Total power = 360 + 30 + 1200 + 360 = 1950W.

Voltage across the mains = 120v.

Power = current * voltage

1950 = current * 120

current = 1950/120

current = 16.25 A

3. A car has a mass of 1000kg. What is its weight?<br><br> A) 9.81x10 ^ 3N<br> B) 1.89x10 ^ 3N
Strike441 [17]

Answer

A

Explanation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity

Weight = 1000 x 9.81

= 9810 or 9.81x10^ 3
