A certain piece of metal (density 9.45 grams per cubic centimeter) has the shape of a hockey puck with a diameter of 13 cm and a

height of 2.8 cm. If this puck is placed into a bowl of mercury (density 13.6 grams per cubic centimeter), it floats. How deep below the surface of the mercury is the bottom of the metal puck?

Answer:

0.0195 m

Explanation:

$\rho _{p}$ = density of hockey puck = 9.45 gcm⁻³ = 9450 kgm³

$d_{p}$ = diameter of hockey puck = 13 cm = 0.13 m

$h_{p}$ = height of hockey puck = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m

$\rho _{m}$ = density of mercury = 13.6 gcm⁻³ = 13600 kgm³

$d$ = depth of puck below surface of mercury

According to Archimedes principle, the weight of puck is balanced by the weight of mercury displaced by puck

Weight of mercury displaced = Weight of puck

$\rho _{m} (0.25)(\pi d_{p}^{2} d ) g = \rho _{p} (0.25)(\pi d_{p}^{2} h_{p} ) g\\\rho _{m} ( d ) = \rho _{p} ( h_{p} )\\(13600) d = (9450) (0.028)\\d = 0.0195 m$

Calculate the separation between the two lowest levels for an O2 molecule in a one-dimensional container of length 5.0 cm. At wh

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The separation between the two lowest levels = $1.24 * 10^{-39}J$

The values of n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT at 300K = $2.2 * 10^{9}$

The separation at this level = 1.8 * $10^{-30}$ J

Explanation:

Knowing the formula

En = $\frac{n^{2} h^{2} }{8 mL^{2} }$

Mass of oxygen molecule

m (O2) = 32 amu * $\frac{1.6605 * 10^{-27 kg} }{1 amu}$

So the energy diference between the two lowest levels:

E2 - E1 = $\frac{3h^{2} }{8mL^{2} }$

E2 - E1 = $\frac{3 * (6.626 * 10^{-34} Js)^{2} } {8 * 32 amu * (\frac{1.6605 * 10^{-27 kg} }{1 amu})* (5*10^{-2})^{2} } = 1.24 * 10^{-39}J$

Now we should find n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT

En = $\frac{n^{2} h^{2} }{8 mL^{2} }$ = $\frac{1}{2}kT$

$\frac{h^{2} }{8 mL^{2} }$ = $4.13 * 10^{-14}J$

$n^{2} * (4.13 * 10^{-14}J) = \frac{1}{2} (1.38 * 10^{-23}JK^{-1}) * 300K$

$n = 2.2 * 10^{9}$

by the end is necessary to calculate the separation of the level

En - En-1 = $(n^{2} - (n - 1)^{2}) * \frac{h^{2} }{8 mL^{2} }$

= 1.8 * $10^{-30}$ J

The actual depth of a shallow pool 1.00 m deep is not the same as the apparent depth seen when you look straight down at the poo

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

d' = 75.1 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

The actual depth of a shallow pool is, d = 1 m

We need to find the apparent depth of the water in the pool. Let it is equal to d'.

We know that the refractive index is also defined as the ratio of real depth to the apparent depth. Let the refractive index of water is 1.33. So,

$n=\dfrac{d}{d'}\\\\d'=\dfrac{d}{n}\\\\d'=\dfrac{1\ m}{1.33}\\\\d'=0.751\ m$

or

d' = 75.1 cm

So, the apparent depth is 75.1 cm.

What physical property makes the red light different from blue light, or radio waves different from microwaves?

inna [77]

Only their wavelength does.

Blue light waves have only roughly half the wavelength of red light waves, and the so-called "microwaves" are the radio waves with the shortest wavelengths.

Newly discovered planet has twice the mass and three times the radius of the earth. What is the free-fall acceleration at its su

skad [1K]

Answer:

$g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g$

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

G = Gravitational constant

R = Radius of Earth

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is

$g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}$

On new planet

$g_n=\dfrac{G2M}{(3R)^2}\\\Rightarrow g_n=\dfrac{2GM}{9R^2}$

Dividing the two equations we get

$\dfrac{g_n}{g}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2GM}{9R^2}}{\dfrac{GM}{R^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g_n}{g}=\dfrac{2}{9}\\\Rightarrow g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g$

The acceleration due to gravity on the other planet is $g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g$
