Answer:

specific gravity = 0.8

specific gravity of  solution  = 2

Explanation:

given data

rectangular block above water  = 0.400 in

rectangular block below water = 1.60 in

material floats below water = 0.800 in

solution

first we get here specific gravity of block  that is

specific gravity = block vol below ÷ total block vol × specific gravity  water   ..............1

put here value we get

specific gravity =  \frac{1.60}{1.60+0.400}  × 1

specific gravity = 0.8

and now we get here specific gravity of  solution  that is express as

specific gravity of  solution  = total block vol ÷ block vol below × specific gravity  block   ........................2

put here value we get

specific gravity of  solution  = \frac{1.60+0.400}{0.800} × 0.8

specific gravity of  solution  = 2

A capacitor is charged until its stored energy is 7.54 J. A second capacitor is then connected to it in parallel. If the charge
Ivan

Answer:

2 J

Explanation:

A charged capacitor of capacitance C_1 with energy of 7.54 J, is connected in parallel with another capacitor C_2 , so the charge is equally distributed between them.

(a) The energy stored in the capacitor before it being connected to the other capacitor is:

U_O=q_0^2/2C_1=7.54 J\\

The energy stored in the electric field is the sum of the energies of the two capacitors:

U=U_1+U_2\\U=q_1^2/2C_1+q_2^2/2C_2

since the charge equally distributed,  q_1 = q_2 = q_o/2. and since they are connected in parallel the potential difference on both of them is the same :

V_1=V_2\\q_1/C_1=q_2/C_2\\q_0/C_1=q_0/C_2\\C_1=C_2=C_3\\

hence,

U=q_0^2/8C+q_0^2/8C\\U=q_0^2/4C\\U=2J

A father is pulling his child on a sled in the snow. According to Newton’s Third Law, the force the father exerts on the sled is
viktelen [127]
That is because there are other forces like the friction forces that apply differently on both of them. The frictional forces applied to the sled are smaller than they are on the father, for example, so it's possible for him to pull it.

How roofs are lifted off building in tornado?
bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

As a tornado or other storm system passes over a building, low pressure can tug a roof upward. When those forces surpass the force exerted by the weight of the roof, the structure flies up and is swept away by wind currents..

Your dog is running around the grass in your backyard. He undergoes successive displacements, 3.60 m south, 8.46 m northeast, an
Eduardwww [97]
First, we resolve the northeast displacement into its north and east components. The angle from the positive x-axis of a northeast displacement is 45 degrees. Thus:
North = 8.46sin(45) = 5.98 m
East = 8.46cos(45) = 5.98 m

North displacement = 5.98 - 3.6 = 2.38 m
West displacement = 15.6 - 5.98 = 9.62

Magnitude = √(2.38² + 9.62²)
Magnitude = 9.91 m

Direction:
tan∅ = 2.38 / 9.62
∅ = 13.9° north from east
