A rock is placed in a graduated cylinder containing water, and the cylinder is covered to avoid evaporation. The next morning th

e water level has dropped by 5.65 ml. No one has to the cylinder, and the cylinder has no leaks. What is the most likely explanation for what happened?

Explanation:

The setup contains rock, cylinder, covering lid and atmosphere. One or a few may contribute to the loss of water.

They may be dry, so it might have absorbed water. The rock may be porous and absorb water due to gaps between its molecules.

The material used as lid to cover the cylinder may be not good enogh to stop water from evaporation. The cylinder you might have kept near a hot source and water may have converted water vapor.

A driver in a 2290-kg car car traveling at 42.7 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefficient of friction betw

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

126.56 m

Explanation:

Applying,

-F = ma............. Equation 1

Where F = frictional force, m = mass of the car, a = acceleration.

Note: Frictional force is negative because it act in opposite direction to motion

But,

F = mgμ.......... Equation 2

Where g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of friction

Substitute equation 2 in equation 1

-mgμ = ma

a = -gμ.............. Equation 3

From the question,

Given: μ = 0.735

Constant: 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values in equation 3

a = -9.8×0.735

a = -7.203 m/s²

Finally,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 4

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, s = distance

From the question,

Given: u = 42.7 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to a stop), a = -7.203 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 4

0² = 42.7²+2(-7.203)s

-1823.29 = -14.406s

s = -1823.29/-14.406

s = 126.56 m

When a piano tuner strikes both the A on the piano and a 440 Hz tuning fork, he hears a beat every 2 seconds. The frequency of t

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The frequency is $f = 439.5 \ Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequency of the tuning fork is $f_t = 440 \ Hz$

The beat period is $T = 2 \ s$

Generally the beat frequency is mathematically represented as

$f_b = \frac{1}{T}$

$f_b = \frac{1}{2}$

$f_b = 0.5 \ Hz$

The beat frequency is also represented mathematically as

$f_b = f_t - f$

Where $f$ is the frequency of the piano

So

$f = 440 - 0.5$

$f = 439.5 \ Hz$

PLEASE HELPPPPPPPP

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

I think this is AWESOME, but I think the last sentence of your conclusion is a bit off. <span> "If someone has an allergy to oil then they can still eat cake because applesauce makes an amazing substitute for oil." I think that you should say "This recipe is great for those who cannot eat/drink oil, the applesauce is an amazing substitute for oil."

I hope I helped! -Wajiha</span>

A 0.5-kilogram apple falls from a height of 2 meters to 1.50 meters. Ignoring frictional effects, what is the kinetic energy of

spin [16.1K]

The final kinetic energy of the ball is 2.45 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In absence of frictional effect, the mechanical energy of the apple must be conserved during the fall. So we can write:

$U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f$

where :

$U_i$ is the initial potential energy, at the top

$K_i$ is the initial kinetic energy, at the top

$U_f$ is the final potential energy, at the bottom

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy, at the bottom

By explicing the potential energy, we can rewrite the equation as:

$mgh_i + K_i = mgh_f + K_f$

where:

m = 0.5 kg is the mass of the apple

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$h_i = 2 m$ is the initial height

$h_f=1.50 m$ is the final height

The initial kinetic energy is zero, since the ball starts from rest:

$K_i = 0$

Therefore we can solve the equation for $K_f$ , the final kinetic energy of the ball:

$K_f = mg(h_i-h_f)=(0.5)(9.8)(2-1.50)=2.45 J$

James Cameron piloted a submersible craft to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest point on the ocean's floor, 11,000 m

Over [174]

Answer:

$4.1\cdot 10^8 N$

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the pressure exerted on the sphere, which is given by:

$p=p_0 + \rho g h$

where

$p_0 =1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa$ is the atmospheric pressure

$\rho = 1000 kg/m^3$ is the water density

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration

$h=11,000 m$ is the depth

Substituting,

$p=1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(11,000 m)=1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa$

The radius of the sphere is r = d/2= 1.1 m/2= 0.55 m

So the total area of the sphere is

$A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (0.55 m)^2=3.8 m^2$

And so, the inward force exerted on it is

$F=pA=(1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa)(3.8 m^2)=4.1\cdot 10^8 N$
