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

In 2000, a 20-year-old astronaut left Earth to explore the galaxy; her spaceship travels at 2.5 x 10^8 m/s. She returns in 2040.
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

42.11 years old

Explanation:

Given that:

In 2000, a 20-year-old astronaut left Earth to explore the galaxy; her spaceship travels at 2.5 x 10^8 m/s. She returns in 2040

To find her age we use:

\Delta t_m=\frac{\Delta t_s}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\

Δtm is  time interval for the observer stationary relative to the sequence of

events = 2040 - 2000 = 40 years

Δts is is the time interval for an observer moving with a speed v relative to the  sequence of event

v = velocity = 2.5 x 10^8 m/s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

\Delta t_s=\Delta t_m}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\\Delta t_s=40\sqrt{1-\frac{(2.5*10^8)^2}{(3*10^8)^2}}\\\Delta t_s=22.11\ yr

Here age in 2000 is 20 year, therefore when she appear she would be 20 year + 22.11 year = 42.11 years old

A constant force of 120 N pushes a 55 kg wagon across an 8 m level surface. If the wagon was initially at rest, what is the fina
Illusion [34]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the wagon is 967.0 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 120 N

Mass = 55 kg

Height = 8 m

We need to calculate the kinetic energy of the wagon

Using newtons law

F = ma

\dfrac{120}{55}=a

a =2.2\ m/s^2

Using equation of motion

v^2 =u^2+2as

Where,

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

s = height

Put the value in the equation

v^2=0+2\times2.2\times8

v=5.93\ m/s

Now, The kinetic energy is

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times55\times(5.93)^2

K.E=967.0\ J

Hence, The kinetic energy of the wagon is 967.0 J

1. Si comprimes un globo hasta reducir su volumen a un tercio de su valor original, ¿cuánto aumenta la presión en su interior?
harina [27]

Answer:

See step by step sexplanation

Explanation:

1.-Sabemos que la relación:

P₁ * V₁  = P₂ * V₂

Para una temperatura constante debe mantenerse entonces si el globo se comprime hasta llevarlo a 1/3 de su valor inicial, entonces necesariamente para cumplir con la relación mencionada, la presión aumenta tres veces su valor original

2.-La definición de presión es fuerza por unidad de superficie, entonces la fuerza es determinada por la altura de la columna de liquido en el recipiente y no por la cantidad total de liquido, de acuerdo a esto habrá más presión en la base del florero, ya que la columna de agua tiene más altura.

3.-No se puede estar de acuerdo con el criterio del plomero. En su solución no plantea el aumento de la altura del tanque,  para el logro del aumento de la presión que es realmente lo que hay que hacer
