A cork has weight mg and density 25% of water’s density. A string is tied around the cork and attached to the bottom of a water-

filled container. The cork is totally immersed. Express the tension in the string in terms of the cork weight mg.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Density of Cork \rho _c=0.25\rho _{water}

Considering V be the volume of Cork

Buoyant Force will be acting Upward and Weight is acting Downward along with T

Since density of water is more than cork therefore Cork will try to escape out of water but due to tension it will not

we can write as

\rho _{water}Vg-\rho _Cvg-T=0

where T=tension

Thus Tension T is

T=Vg(\rho _{water}-\rho _c)

Taking \rho _c common

T=\rho _cVg(\frac{\rho _{water}}{\rho _c}-1)    

T=mg(\frac{\rho _{water}}{\rho _c}-1)

T=mg(4-1)

T=3mg

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

3,500,000 J​

Explanation:

WORK = POWER * TIME

WORK= 5400 * 640

=6456000 J = 3,500,000 J​

Communicating results allows scientists to learn from each other's results.
sveta [45]

True, scientists often talk to each other to figure out if their results were similar and what they could have done better.

Although, talking to other scientists does have risks, other scientists could copy your work and further better it.

So, your final answer is TRUE, sorry for the long answer, I needed to have a word count about 20 characters and then I got carried away! lol

A vertical wire carries a current straight down. To the east of this wire, the magnetic field points: A) toward the east. B) tow
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

the correct answer is option E

the direction of magnetic field will be found out with the help of right hand rule.

Put you palm in the direction of electric field and curl your finger in the direction of magnetic field which east direction.

 now, the direction shown by the thumb will be the direction of magnetic field  which comes out to be toward South direction.

Jupiter and Saturn each have the same three basic cloud layers, but the spacing of the layers differs on the two planets. Why is
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

b. Jupiter’s greater gravity has compressed the layers, so they are closer together there.

Explanation:

The value for Jupiter mass is 1.8981×10²⁷kg, while the mass of Saturn is 5.6832×10²⁶kg, so the different layers of clouds in Jupiter will be submitted to a greater gravitational pull because it has a bigger mass, as is established in the law of universal gravitation:

F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2}}   (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of two objects, G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between the two objects.

As it can be seen in equation 1, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects, so if the mass increase the gravitational force will do it too.  

For the case of Saturn, it has a lower mass so its layers of clouds will suffer a weaker gravitational pull. That leads to the three clouds being more spacing that the ones of Jupiter.
