Complete Question:

Two objects, T and B, have identical size and shape and have uniform density. They are carefully placed in a container filled with a liquid. Both objects float in equilibrium. Less of object T is submerged than of object B, which floats, fully submerged, closer to the bottom of the container. Which of the following statements is true?

  • Object T has a greater density than object B.
  • Object B has a greater density than object T.
  • Both objects have the same density.  

Answer:

Object B has a greater density than object T

Explanation:

Any object partially or completely submerged in a liquid, experiments an upward force, equal to the weight of  the volume displaced by the liquid. This force is called the buoyant force, and can be expressed as follows:

Fb = ρl * Vs*g

where ρl is the density of the liquid, and Vs is the submerged volume.

This force must be compared with the weight of the object, which is always downward, and can be expressed as follows:

Fg = ρb* Vb * g

where ρb, is the density of the object, and Vb is the total volume of the object, regardless which portion is submerged.

For object B, as it floats fully submerged, this means that both forces are equal in magnitude:

Fg = Fb⇒ ρb* Vb * g = ρl * Vs*g

As Vb = Vs (the object is fully submerged) this means that ρb =ρl.

For object T, as it floats partially submerged, this means that Fg < Fb:

Fg= ρt* Vt * g < Fb = ρl * Vs*g.

Now, we know that ρb =ρl, so we can replace in the equation above:

ρT* Vt * g < ρb*Vs*g

Simplifying common terms, and replacing Vs by KVt (where K is the fraction of the total volume which is submerged, i.e. K<1), we have:

ρt*Vt < ρb*K*Vt ⇒ ρt / ρb < K < 1 ⇒ ρt < ρb ⇒ ρb > ρt

You drive your car in a straight line at 15 m/s for 10 kilometers, then at 25 m/s for another 10 kilometers.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

A) Average speed = 18.75 m/s

B) More time is spent at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

Explanation:

Let the first distance be d1 and the second distance be d2.

We are given;

d1 = 10 km = 10000 m

d2 = 10 km = 10000 m

Speed; v1 = 15 m/s

Speed; v2 = 25 m/s

Now, the formula for distance is; Distance = speed x time

Thus:

d1 = v1 x t1

t1 = d1/v1 = 10000/15 = 666.67 seconds

Also,

d2 = v2 x t2

t2 = d2/v2 = 10000/25 = 400 seconds

Average speed = total distance/total time = (10000 + 10000)/(666.67 + 400) = 18.75 m/s

From earlier, since t1 = 666.67 seconds and t2 = 400 seconds, then;

More time at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

If an electric current of 8.50 A flows for 3.75 hours through an electrolytic cell containing copper-sulfate (CuSO4) solution, t
muminat

Answer:

75.5g

Explanation:

From the ionic equation, we can write

CU^{2+}+SO^{2-}_{4}\\

next we find the number of charge

Note Q=it

for i=8.5A, t=3.75 to secs 3.75*60*60=13500secs

hence

Q=8.5*13500\\Q=114750C

Since one faraday represent one mole of electron which equal 96500C

Hence the number of mole produced by 114750C is

114750/96500=1.2mol

The mass of copper produced is

mol=\frac{mass}{molar mass} \\mass=mole*molar mass\\mass=1.2*63.5\\mass=75.5g

Hence the amount of copper produced is 75.5g

How is temperature related to the physical change of a substance?
WINSTONCH [101]
When you heat something of cool it down you don't change the substance you might change the why is looks, but it is still the same substance. For example you cool water to 0 degrees Celsius it turns into ice but it still is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen H2O. Physical changes will change state and/or form but it will still be what it originally was on the molecular level. Hope that helped.

Some people say you can tell if someone has HIV by looking at him or her. True or false? Why?

Answer:False.

Explanation: HIV is a viruse that only shows symptoms after a few weeks. in Fact HIV does not show any physical symptoms. So, no you can not tell if someone has or is been infected by HIV by directly looking at them.

Have a Nice Day!!! =)
