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

Lina20 [59]
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of the numbers of protons and the numbers of the neutron. Given that the mass number is 65 and the number of neutrons is 35, the number of protons is 30. The atom is then Zinc (Zn). The charge is equal to +2, as it lacks 2 more electrons.

A long ramp made of cast iron is sloped at a constant angle θ = 52.0∘ above the horizontal. Small blocks, each with mass 0.42 kg
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

For cast iron we have

h = 0.92 m

For copper

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

h = 2.43 m

Explanation:

As we know that final speed of the block is calculated by work energy theorem

W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

-\mu_k mg cos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v^2 = 2gh - 2\mu_k g h cot\theta

v = \sqrt{2gh(1 - \mu_k cot\theta)}

For cast iron we have

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.15cot52)}

h = 0.92 m

For copper

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.29cot52)}

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.43cot52)}

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.85cot52)}

h = 2.43 m

A system undergoes a two-step process. In the first step, the internal energy of the system increases by 222 J when 150 J of wor
joja [24]

Answer:0 J

Explanation:

Given

For first step

change in internal Energy of the system is \Delta U_1=222 J

Work done on the system W_1=-150 J

For second step

change in internal Energy of the system is \Delta U_2=123 J

Work done on the system W_2=-195 J

Work done on the system is considered as Positive and vice-versa.

and from first law of thermodynamics

Q=\Delta U+W

for first step

Q_1=222-150=72 J

Q_2=123-195=-72 J

overall heat added=Q_1+Q_2

Q_{net}=72-72 =0

For overall Process Heat added is 0 J
