Answer:

(a) 92 %

(b) 6.76 %

Explanation:

length, l = 4 m, height, h = 5 m, width, w = 3 m, density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

density of ice = 920 kg/m^3, density of mercury = 13600 kg/m^3

(a) Let v be the volume of ice below water surface.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of water x g = Total volume of ice block x density

                                                                      of ice x g

v x 1000 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.92

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.92 x 100 = 92 %

(b) Let v be the volume of ice below the mercury.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of mercury x g = Total volume of ice block x  

                                                                      density of ice x g

v x 13600 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.0676

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.0676 x 100 = 6.76 %

A lightweight vertical spring of force constant k has its lower end mounted on a table. You compress the spring by a distance d,
shusha [124]

Answer:

v=d\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we can do an analysis of the energies involved in the system. Basically the addition of the initial potential energy of the spring and the kinetic energy of the mass should be the same as the addition of the final potential energy of the spring and the kinetic energy of the block. So we get the following equation:

U_{0}+K_{0}=U_{f}+K_{f}

In this case, since the block is moving from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero. When the block loses contact with the spring, the final potential energy of the spring will be zero, so the equation simplifies to:

U_{0}=K_{f}

The initial potential energy of the spring is given by the equation:

U_{0}=\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}

the Kinetic energy of the block is then given by the equation:

K_{f}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2}

so we can now set them both equal to each other, so we get:

=\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2}

This new equation can be simplified if we multiplied both sides of the equation by a 2, so we get:

kd^{2}=mv_{f}^{2}

so now we can solve this for the final velocity, so we get:

v=d\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

The speed of sound in aluminum is 5200 m/s. Can you hear a sound with a
romanna [79]

Answer:

v = wavelength * frequency

frequency = 5200 m/s / .2 m = 26000 / sec

20,000 / sec is optimistic for the upper frequency of human hearing

So 26,000 is above the hearing range for human ears

Nina [5.8K]

The average velocity over the interval 6\le t\le 10 is

\dfrac{x(10)-x(6)}{10\,\mathrm s-6\,\mathrm s}=\dfrac{6\,\mathrm m-2.67\,\mathrm m}{4\,\mathrm s}=0.8325\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

where x(t) is the person's position at time t. I've taken the liberty of estimating x(6)\approx2.67\,\mathrm m. The closest choice among the answers is 0.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}.
