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.

Based on the calculations, the average velocity is equal to 360 m/s and the percent difference is equal to 4.72%.

<h3>What is average velocity?</h3>

An average velocity can be defined as the total distance covered by a physical object divided by the total time taken.

<h3>What is an average?</h3>

An average is also referred to as mean and it can be defined as a ratio of the sum of the total number in a data set to the frequency of the data set.

<h3>How to calculate the average velocity?</h3>

Mathematically, the average velocity for this data set would be calculated by using this formula:

Average = [F(v)]/n

Vavg = [v₁ + v₂ + v₃ + v₄ + v₅)/5

Since the values of the average velocity from the table are missing, we would assume the following values for the purpose of an explanation:

  • v₁ = 100 m/s
  • v₂ = 150 m/s
  • v₃ = 200 m/s
  • v₄ = 250 m/s
  • v₅ = 300 m/s

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have:

Vavg = [300 + 450 + 500 + 250 + 300)/5

Vavg = 1800/5

Vavg = 360 m/s.

Next, we would calculate the percent difference by using this formula:

Percent \;difference = \frac{[V_{avg}\;-\;V_{sound}]}{V_{sound}} \times 100

Percent difference = [360 - 343]/360 × 100

Percent difference = 17/360 × 100

Percent difference = 0.0472 × 100

Percent difference = 4.72%.

Two loudspeakers are 1.60 m apart. A person stands 3.00 m from one speaker and 3.50 m from the other. (a) What is the lowest fre
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two loud speakers d=1.6\ m

Distance of person from one speaker x_1=3\ m

Distance of person from second speaker x_2=3.5\ m

Path difference between the waves is given by

x_2-x_1=(2m+1)\cdot \frac{\lambda }{2}

for destructive interference m=0 I.e.

x_2-x_1=\frac{\lambda }{2}

3.5-3=\frac{\lambda }{2}

\lambda =0.5\times 2

\lambda =1\ m

frequency is given by

f=\frac{v}{\lambda }

where v=velocity\ of\ sound\ (v=343\ m/s)

f=\frac{343}{1}=343\ Hz

For next frequency which will cause destructive interference is

i.e. m=1 and m=2

3.5-3=\frac{2\cdot 1+1}{2}\cdot \lambda

\lambda =\frac{1}{3}\ m

frequency corresponding to this is

f_2=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{3}}=1029\ Hz

for m=2

3.5-3=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \lambda

\lambda =\frac{1}{5}\ m

Frequency corresponding to this wavelength

f_3=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{5}}

f_3=1715\ Hz

marin [14]
<span>h ( t) = h(1 sec) = -16t^2 + 541

so h (2 sec) = -16*(2)^2 + 541 = -64 + 541 = <span>477 ft

Therefore, </span></span>the height of the rock after 2 seconds is 477 feet.

Explain Why a flying aeroplane has more Kinetic Energy than a flying insect?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Why do insects fly so high?

Because the angle of attack is so high, a lot of momentum is transferred downward into the flow. These two features create a large amount of lift force as well as some additional drag. The important feature, however, is the lift.

Why an Aeroplane flying has kinetic  

A flying aeroplane has potential energy has it flies above the ground level. And since the aeroplane is flying motion is associated with it and thus possesses kinetic energy. Hence a flying aeroplane has both potential and kinetic energ
