Assume you have an ice cube and also a small rock that is the same size and shape as the ice cube. Predict what would happen if

you placed the ice cube and rock in a glass of water.

Answer: The ice cube would float on top of the water and the rock would sink to the bottom.

Explanation: The ice cube has a smaller density than the rock which allows the ice cube to float but makes the rock sink to the bottom of the glass of water.

Two resistances, R1 and R2, are connected in series across a 9-V battery. The current increases by 0.450 A when R2 is removed, l
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

a. R1 = 0.162 Ω

b. R2 = 0.340 Ω

Explanation:

Since the resistors R1 and R2 are connected in series, the current flowing through them when the 9 V battery is applied is 9/R1 + R2.

When the current increases by 0.450 A wen only R1 is in the circuit, the current is

9/R1 + R2 + 0.450 A = 9/R1       (1)

When the current increases by 0.225 A when only R2 is in the circuit, the current is

9/R1 + R2 + 0.225 A = 9/R2       (2)

equation (1) - (2) equals

9(1/R1 - 1/R2) = 0.450 A - 0.225

9(1/R1 - 1/R2) = 0.125

(1/R1 - 1/R2) = 0.125 A/9 = 0.0138

1/R1 = 0.0138 + 1/R2

R1 = R2/(1 + 0.0138R2)     (3)

From (1)

9/R1 - 9/R1 + R2 = 0.450 A

9R2/[R1(R1 + R2)] = 0.450 A

R2/[R1(R1 + R2)] = 0.450 A/9 = 0.5

R2/[R1(R1 + R2)] = 0.5    (4)

From (3) R2/R1 = (1 + 0.0138R2) and from (4) R2/R1 = 0.5(R1 + R2). So,

(1 + 0.0138R2) = 0.5(R1 + R2)

0.5R1 + 0.5R2 = 1 + 0.0138R2

0.5R1 = 1 + 0.0138R2 - 0.5R2

0.5R1 = 1 - 0.4862R2        (5)

Substituting (3) into (5) we have

0.5R2/(1 + 0.0138R2) = 1 - 0.4862R2

R2 = (1 + 0.0138R2)(1 - 0.4862R2)

R2 = 1 - 0.4724R2 - 0.0067R2²

Collecting like terms, we have

0.0067R2² + 0.4724R2 + R2 - 1 = 0

0.0067R2² + 1.4724R2 - 1 = 0

Using the quadratic formula,

R_{2} = \frac{-1.4724 +/-\sqrt{(1.4724)^{2} - 4 X 0.0067 X -1} }{2 X 0.0067}  \\= \frac{-1.4724 +/-\sqrt{2.1680 + 0.0268} }{0.0268}\\= \frac{-1.4724 +/-\sqrt{2.1948} }{0.0268}\\= \frac{-1.4724 +/- 1.4815 }{0.0268}\\= \frac{-1.4724 + 1.4815 }{0.0268} or \frac{-1.4724 - 1.4815 }{0.0268}\\= \frac{0.0091 }{0.0268} or \frac{-2.9539}{0.0268}\\= 0.340 or -110.22

We choose the positive answer.

So R2 = 0.340 Ω

From (5)

R1 = 0.5 - 0.9931R2

   = 0.5 - 0.9931 × 0.340

   = 0.5 - 0.338

   = 0.162 Ω

a. R1 = 0.162 Ω

b. R2 = 0.340 Ω

An iron bar has more mass than a plastic bar of the same volume. so the iron bar will have greater inertia.
Irina-Kira [14]

The response is False, both bars, iron bars and plastic bars have de same inertia, this characteristic does not depend on the type of material, the inertia depends on his transverse section, since we can estimate in the following formula

<span>Area moment of inertia Ixx = BH3/12</span>

<span>Area moment of inertia Iyy= HB3/12</span>

Two blocks with masses 1 and 2 are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley as shown. 1 has a mass of 2
Bess [88]

Answer:

The acceleration of M_2 is  a =  0.7156 m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of first block is  M_1 =  2.25 \ kg

    The angle of inclination of first block is  \theta _1 =  43.5^o

    The coefficient of kinetic friction of the first block is  \mu_1  = 0.205

      The mass of the second block is  M_2 = 5.45 \ kg

     The angle of inclination of the second block is  \theta _2 =  32.5^o

      The coefficient of kinetic friction of the second block is \mu _2 = 0.105

The acceleration of M_1 \ and\  M_2 are same

The force acting on the mass M_1 is mathematically represented as

     F_1 = T -  M_1gsin \theta_1 - \mu_1 M_1 g cos\theta_1

=> M_1 a = T -  M_1gsin \theta_1 - \mu_1 M_1 g cos\theta_1

Where T is the tension on the rope

The force acting on the mass M_2 is mathematically represented as    

  F_2 =  M_2gsin \theta_2 - T -\mu_2 M_2 g cos\theta_2

   M_2 a =  M_2gsin \theta_2 - T -\mu_2 M_2 g cos\theta_2

At equilibrium

  F_1 =  F_2

So

 T -  M_1gsin \theta_1 - \mu_1 M_1 g cos\theta_1 =M_2gsin \theta_2 - T -\mu_2 M_2 g cos\theta_2

making a the subject of the formula

    a =  \frac{M_2 g sin \theta_2 - M_1 g sin \theta_1 - \mu_1 M_1g cos \theta - \mu_2 M_2 g cos \theta_2 }{M_1 +M_2}

substituting values a =  \frac{(5.45) (9.8) sin (32.5) - (2.25) (9.8) sin (43.5) - (0.205)*(2.25) *9.8cos (43.5) - (0.105)*(5.45) *(9.8) cos(32.5) }{2.25 +5.45}

    => a =  0.7156 m/s^2
