What is the difference between weight and mass? Give an example of how they are different.

1 answer:

8 0

Mass is the amount of matter it has, while weight <span>is a measurement of the force placed on an object by gravity. An example of how they are different is that mass is always constant while weight varies depending on the location.</span>

The speed of sound in room temperature (20°C) air is 343 m/s; in room temperature helium, it is 1010 m/s. The fundamental freque

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: f = 927.55Hz

Explanation: Since the the tube is open-closed, the length of air and the wavelength of sound passing through the tube is given below

L = λ/4 where λ = wavelength.

speed of sound in air = v = 343m/s.

fundamental frequency of open closed tube = 315Hz

λ = 4L.

v = fλ

343 = 315 * 4L

343 = 1260 * L

L = 343/ 1260

L = 0.27m

In the same tube of length L = 0.27m but different medium ( helium), the speed of sound is 1010m/s.

The length of tube and wavelength are related by the formulae below

L = λ/4, λ=4L

λ = 4 * 0.27

λ = 1.087m.

v = fλ

1010 = f * 1.087

f = 1010/1.807

f = 927.55Hz

A hollow sphere of inner radius 8.82 cm and outer radius 9.91 cm floats half-submerged in a liquid of density 948.00 kg/m^3. (a)

kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) 0.568 kg

b) 474 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given:

Inner radius = 8.82 cm = 0.0882 m

Outer radius = 9.91 cm = 0.0991 m

Density of the liquid = 948.00 Kg/m³

a) The volume of the sphere = $\frac{4\pi}{3}\times(0.0991^2-0.0882^2)$

volume of sphere = 0.0012 m³

also, volume of half sphere = $\frac{\textup{Total volume}}{\textup{2}}$

volume of half sphere = $\frac{\textup{0.0012}}{\textup{2}}$

Volume of half sphere =0.0006 m³

Now, from the Archimedes principle

Mass of the sphere = Weight of the volume of object submerged

Mass of the sphere = 0.0006× 948.00 = 0.568 kg

b) Now, density = $\frac{\textup{Mass}}{\textup{Volume}}$

Density = $\frac{\textup{0.568}}{\textup{0.0012}}$

Density = 474 kg/m³
