A student in an undergraduate physics lab is studying Archimede's principle of bouyancy. The student is given a brass cylinder a

nd, using a triple beam balance, finds the mass to be 3.21 kg. The density of this particular alloy of brass is 8.62 g/cm 3 . The student ties a massless string to one end of the cylinder and submerges it into a tank of water where there is an apparent reduction in the weight of the cylinder. With this information, calculate the volume, V , of the cylinder and the tension, T , in the string when it is submerged in the tank of water. The density of water is 1.00 g/cm 3 , and the acceleration due to gravity is gVolume of the cylinder: _____ cm3Tension in the string: ______ N

Answer:

V = 0.3724 m³

T = 27.836 N

Explanation:

Given :

m = 3.21 kg  , W= 3.21 * 9.81 m / s² = 31.4901 N

ρ = 8.62 g / cm ³  = 8620 kg / m³

V = m / ρ =  3.21 kg  /  8620 kg / m³

V = 0.3724 m³

when submerged the weight of brass cylinder is equal to the tension in string:

F =  (0.3724m³) * (1000 kg / m³) * (9.81 m/s²²) = 3.653 ≈ 3.65 N

T = 31.4901 N - 3.65 N  

T = 27.836 N

The work function for a metal surface is 4.98 eV. What is the largest wavelength of light in nm that will produce photoelectrons
bulgar [2K]

Answer:\lambda =248.99 nm

Explanation:

Given

Work function\left ( \phi \right )=4.98\approx 1.602\times 10^{-19}\times 4.98

h=6.626\times 10^{-34} J

c=2.998\times 10^8

\phi =\frac{hc}{\lambda }

\lambda =\frac{hc}{\phi }

\lambda =\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 2.998\times 10^8}{4.98\times 1.602\times 10^{-19}}

\lambda =248.99 nm

Two black holes (the remains of exploded stars), separated by a distance of
jolli1 [7]

The largest mass is 4.7 x 10³⁰ kg and the smallest mass is 5 x 10²⁹ kg.

The given parameters;

  • <em>distance between the two black holes, r = 10 AU = 1.5 x 10¹² m</em>
  • <em>gravitational force between the two black holes, F = 6.9 x 10²⁵ N.</em>
  • <em>combined mass of the two black holes = 5.20 x 10³⁰ kg</em>

The product of the two masses is calculated from Newton's law of universal gravitational as follows;

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} \\\\m_1m_2 = \frac{Fr^2}{G} \\\\m_1m_2 = \frac{(6.9\times 10^{25}) \times (1.5\times 10^{12})^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}} \\\\m_1m_2 = 2.328 \times 10^{60} \ kg^2

The sum of the two masses is given as;

m₁ + m₂ = 5.2 x 10³⁰ kg

m₂ = 5.2 x 10³⁰ kg - m₁

The first mass is calculated as follows;

m₁(5.2 x 10³⁰ - m₁) = 2.328 x 10⁶⁰

5.2 x 10³⁰m₁ - m₁² = 2.328 x 10⁶⁰

m₁² - 5.2 x 10³⁰m₁  + 2.328 x 10⁶⁰ = 0

<em>solve the quadratic equation using formula method</em>;

a = 1, b =-  5.2 x 10³⁰, c = 2.328 x 10⁶⁰

m_1 = \frac{-b \ \ +/- \ \ \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\m_1 = \frac{-(-5.2\times 10^{20})  \ \ +/- \ \ \sqrt{(-5.2\times 10^{20})^2 - 4(1\times 2.328\times 10^{60})} }{2(1)} \\\\m_1 = 4.7 \times 10^{30} \ kg \ \ or \ \ 4.9 \times 10^{29} \ kg

The second mass is calculated as follows;

m₂ = 5.2 x 10³⁰ kg - m₁

m₂ = 5.2 x 10³⁰ kg  -  4.7 x 10³⁰ kg

m₂ = 5 x 10²⁹ kg

or

m₂ = 5.2 x 10³⁰ kg  -  4.9 x 10²⁹ kg

m₂ = 4.7 x 10³⁰ kg

Thus, the largest mass is 4.7 x 10³⁰ kg and the smallest mass is 5 x 10²⁹ kg.

A fisherman sees his boat moving up and down, owing to waves on the water. It takes 2.5 s for the boat to travel from its highes
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The waves are traveling in a speed of

v=1.20 m/s

Explanation:

The fisherman see a wave at 6m apart so that's the wavelength

L=6m

Now the period is the time between two successive waves so

t=2*2.5s=5s

The velocity of the waves is describe by:

v=f*L

f=\frac{1}{t}=\frac{1}{5s}=20s^{-1}

v=0.20s^{-1}*6m

v=1.20 \frac{m}{s}
