You are given two rectangular blocks of shiny metal, Block A and Block B, and are asked to determine which one will float in a b

ath of mercury (a metal that is liquid at room temperature). Block A is 10 cm long, 6 cm wide and 1 cm high and has a mass of 630 g. Block B is 5 cm long, 5 cm wide, 3 cm high, and has a mass of 604 g. If mercury has a density of 13.6 g/cm3, which of the two blocks will float when placed in mercury?

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of block A = 10 x 6 x 1 = 60 cm³

Mass of block A = 630 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 630 / 60 = 10.5g / cm³

Volume of block B = 5 x 5 x 3 = 75 cm³

Mass of block A = 604 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 604 / 75 = 8.05 g / cm³

Since density of both A and B are less than that of mercury , both will float in mercury.

True or False: Inertia is the property that every material object has that causes objects to resist changes in its state of moti
goldfiish [28.3K]
That is True because if it resists it means to not do it and if it is motion, that means that it is resisting movement and that is what inertia is.

The scientific definition for inertia is: "a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged"
Glad to help. :)

A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.62 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the
arsen [322]

Total displacement of the car: 405 m

Explanation:

The first part of the motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the suvat equation

s_1=ut_1+\frac{1}{2}a_1 t_1^2

where:

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the car starts from rest)

t_1 = 20 s is the time elapsed in the 1st part

a_1=1.62 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the car in the 1st part

s_1 is the displacement of the car in the 1st part

Solving for s_1,

s_1=0+\frac{1}{2}(1.62)(20)^2=324 m

We can also find the velocity of the car after these 20 seconds using the equation:

v_1 = u +a_1 t_1 = 0 + (1.62)(20)=32.4 m/s

Now we can find the distance covered by the car in the 2nd part, where it decelerates after having seen the tree limb on the road. We can do it by using the suvat equation:

s_2 = (\frac{v_1 + v_2}{2})t_2

where:

v_1=32.4 m/s is the initial velocity at the beginning of the 2nd phase

v_2=0 is the final velocity (the car comes to a stop)

t_2=5 s is the time elapsed in the 2nd phase

Substituting,

s_2=\frac{32.4+0}{2}(5)=81 m

So, the total displacement of the car is

s=s_1+s_2=324+81=405 m

A sailboat is traveling to the right when a gust of wind causes the boat to accelerate leftward at 2.5​​​​m​​/s2 for 4s. After t
Ber [7]

Answer:

+7.0 m/s

Explanation:

Let's take rightward as positive direction.

So in this problem we have:

a = -2.5 m/s^2 acceleration due to the wind (negative because it is leftward)

t = 4 s time interval

v = -3.0 m/s is the final velocity (negative because it is leftward)

We can use the following equation:

v = u + at

Where u is the initial velocity

We want to find u, so if we rearrange the equation we find:

u = v - at = (-3.0 m/s) - (-2.5 m/s^2)(4 s)=+7.0 m/s

and the positive sign means the initial direction was rightward.

You illuminate the grating in a spectrometer at normal incidence θi=0° with a beam of light that has a wavelength of 6562.8 Å. T
monitta

Answer:

a) θ₁ = 23.14 ° , b) θ₂ = 51.81 °

Explanation:

An address network is described by the expression

     d sin θ = m λ

Where is the distance between lines, λ is the wavelength and m is the order of the spectrum

The distance between one lines, we can find used a rule of proportions

     d = 1/600

     d = 1.67 10⁻³ mm

    d = 1-67 10⁻³ m

Let's calculate the angle

    sin θ = m λ / d

    θ  = sin⁻¹ (m λ / d)

First order

    θ₁ = sin⁻¹ (1 6.5628 10⁻⁷ / 1.67 10⁻⁶)

    θ₁ = sin⁻¹ (3.93 10⁻¹)

    θ₁ = 23.14 °

Second order

     θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (2 6.5628 10⁻⁷ / 1.67 10⁻⁶)

     θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (0.786)

     θ₂ = 51.81 °
