The wooden block is removed from the water bath and placed in an unknown liquid. In this liquid, only one-third of the wooden bl

Answer:

1.5 g/cm^3

Explanation:

In the question i am assuming that wooden block of weight W floats with exactly one-half of its volume below the waterline.

Let ρ_{liquid} be the density of the unknown liquid , V= volume submerged

g= acceleration due to gravity

then

weight of block = \rho_{water}\times V\times g/2

when the block is in water

Also,

weight of block = \rho_{liquid}\times V\times g/3

dividing eq 1 by eq 2 we get

\rho_{liquid} = 3/2 \rho_{water}

⇒\rho_{liquid} = 3/2

A charge of 4.5 × 10-5 C is placed in an electric field with a strength of 2.0 × 104 . If the charge is 0.030 m from the source
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The electrical potential energy is 0.027 Joules.

Explanation:

The values from the question are

charge (q) = 4.5 \times 10^{-5} C

Electric Field strength (E) = 2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C

Distance from source (d) = 0.030 m

Now the formula for the electrical potential energy (U) is given by

U = q \times E \times d

So now insert the values to find the answer

U = 4.5 \times 10^{-5} C \times 2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C \times 0.030 m

On further solving

U = 0.027 J

Two uncharged metal spheres, spaced 25.0 cm apart, have a capacitance of 26.0 pF. How much work would it take to move 12.0 nC of
viktelen [127]

Answer:

W=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two spheres, r = 25 cm = 0.25 m

The capacitance, C = 26 pF = 26×10⁻¹² F

Charge, Q = 12 nC = 12 × 10⁻⁹ C

We need to find the work done in moving the charge. We know that, work done is given by :

U=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}

Put all the values,

U=\dfrac{(12\times 10^{-9})^2}{2\times 26\times 10^{-12}}\\\\U=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J

So, the work done is 2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J.

Why do the passengers in high-altitude jet planes feel the sensation of weight while passengers in an orbiting space vehicle, su
kykrilka [37]

Passengers in an aircraft are subject to the Normal and Gravity Force acting on them at a low 'orbit', so tiny that it can be many times compared to the same surface of the earth when speaking in general terms.

In a high orbit space vehicle or in the same space, said force decreases considerably or simply disappears, generating the sensation of weightlessness.

Remember that the Force of Gravity is given under the principle

F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal constant

M = Mass of the planet

m = mass of the object

r = Distance from center of the planet

When the radius grows considerably the gravitational force begins to decrease.
