Legend says that archimedes, in determining whether or not the king’s crown was made of pure gold, measured its volume by the wa

ter displacement method. if the crown weighs 600 gm in air, what would its "weight be in water", necessary to prove that it is pure gold?

The volume of water that is displaced by the crown is equal to the volume of the crown so by measuring the displaced water volume one can simply determine the density of the crown which is it's mass divided by its volume. if it's not equal to 19.32 per cubic centimeters (which is the density of the pure gold) we can conclude that it has impurities

What is the restoring force of a spring with a spring constant of 4a and a stretched displacement of 3b? A. –7 ab B. `-7 a/b ` C
algol13

Answer:

C. -12 ab

Explanation:

The restoring force on a spring is given by Hooke's law:

F=-kx

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretched (or compressed) displacement of the spring

In this problem we have:

k = 4a

x = 3b

Substituting into the equation, we find:

F=-(4a)(3b) = -12 ab

And the negative sign means that the direction of the force (negative) is opposite to the direction of the displacement (positive).

Answer:

1.97 * 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

n = 1.52

Recall : speed of light (c) = 3 * 10^8 m/s

Speed (v) of light in glass:

v = speed of light / n

v = (3 * 10^8) / 1.52

v = 1.9736 * 10^8

Hence, speed of light in glass :

v = 1.97 * 10^8 m/s

A flat disk of radius 0.50 m is oriented so that the plane of the disk makes an angle of 30 degrees with a uniform electric fiel
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The electric flux is 280\ \rm N.m^2/C

Explanation:

Given:

  • Radius of the disc R=0.50 m
  • Angle made by disk with the horizontal \theta=30^\circ
  • Magnitude of the electric Field E=713.0\ \rm N/C

The flux of the Electric Field E due to the are dA in space can be found out by using Gauss Law which is as follows

\phi=\int E.dA

where

  • \phi is the total Electric Flux
  • E is the Electric Field
  • dA is the Area through which the electric flux is to be calculated.

Now according to question we have

=EA\cos\theta \\=713\times 3.14\times 0.5^2 \times \cos60^\circ\\=280\ \rm N.m^2/C

Hence the electric flux is calculated.
