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.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

C = 1.77 \times 10^{-4} F

Explanation:

As we know that in AC circuit we have

V = i x_c

here we have

V = 59 V

i = 5.05 A

so we will have

x_c = \frac{59}{5.05}

x_c = 11.68 ohm

also we know that

x_c = \frac{1}{\omega C}

here we will have

11.68 = \frac{1}{(2\pi 77)C}

C = 1.77 \times 10^{-4} F

An amusement park ride raises people high into the air, suspends them for a moment, and then drops them at a rate of free-fall a
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: apparent weighlessness.


Explanation:


1) Balance of forces on a person falling:


i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).


ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).


iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).


2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.


3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.


Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.

Which of these rotational quantities is analogous to mass in a linear system?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

i think it is rotational inertia

because analogue of mass in rotational motion is moment of inertia. It plays the same role as mass plays in transnational motion.  

hope it's right & helps !!!!!!!!!
