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

A firm current ratio is 1. 0 and its quick ratio is 1. 0. If current liabilities are 12300, what are its inventories?
Anna007 [38]

A firm current ratio is 1. 0 and its quick ratio is 1. 0. If current liabilities are 12300 then its inventories will be 12300

Inventory is the accounting of items, component parts and raw materials that a company either uses in production or sells

The quick and current ratios are liquidity ratios that help investors and analysts gauge a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations. The current ratio divides current assets by current liabilities. The quick ratio only considers highly-liquid assets or cash equivalents as part of current assets.

current ratio = current assets / current liabilities

current assets = current ratio  * current liabilities

                        = 1 * 12300 = 12300

since , inventory is a current asset for accounting purpose , hence inventories will be 12300

A radioactive material has a count rate of 400 per minute. It has a half life of 40 years. How long will it take to decay to a r
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

160 years.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Number of half-lives (n) =?

Cբ = 1/2ⁿ × Cᵢ

25 = 1/2ⁿ × 400

Cross multiply

25 × 2ⁿ = 400

Divide both side by 25

2ⁿ = 400/25

2ⁿ = 16

Express 16 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2⁴

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Time (t) =?

n = t / t½

4 = t / 40

Cross multiply

t = 4 × 40

t = 160 years.

Thus, it will take 160 years for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute.
