A metal block suspended from a spring balance is submerged in water. You observe that the block displaces 55 cm3 of water and th

at the balance reads 4.3 N. What is the density of the block?

Answer:

8977.7 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Volume of water displaced = 55 cm^3 = 55 x 10^-6 m^3

Reading of balance when block is immersed in water = 4.3 N

According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed n a liquid partly or wholly, then there is a loss in the weight of body which is called upthrust or buoyant force. this buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.

Buoyant force = weight of the water displaced by the block

Buoyant force = Volume of water displaced x density of water x g

= 55 x 10^-6 x 1000 x .8 = 0.539 N

True weight of the body = Weight of body in water + buoyant force

m g = 4.3 + 0.539 = 4.839

m = 0.4937 kg

Density of block = mass of block / volume of block

= $\frac{0.4937}{55\times10^{-6}}$

Density of block = 8977.7 kg/m^3

Answer:

The other angle is 120°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 60

Speed = 5.0

We need to calculate the range

Using formula of range

$R=\dfrac{v^2\sin(2\theta)}{g}$ ...(I)

The range for the other angle is

$R=\dfrac{v^2\sin(2(\alpha-\theta))}{g}$ ....(II)

Here, distance and speed are same

On comparing both range

$\dfrac{v^2\sin(2\theta)}{g}=\dfrac{v^2\sin(2(\alpha-\theta))}{g}$

$\sin(2\theta)=\sin(2\times(\alpha-\theta))$

$\sin120=\sin2(\alpha-60)$

$120=2\alpha-120$

$\alpha=\dfrac{120+120}{2}$

$\alpha=120^{\circ}$

Hence, The other angle is 120°

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer Group of answer choices it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely

Explanation:

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely. This done because there is a small bend in the mercury channel of a clinical thermometer that uses mercury. You must shake the thermometer to get the mercury from a previous reading from the thermometer back into the bulb for taking new reading. The bend prevents flow back into the tube so that one can comfortably take reading.

1. Magnetic properties of a substance depends on the structure of its valence electrons. It has something to do with orbitals so I suggest you study about molecular geometry of a compound/substance firstIt's the way a substance's atoms fit together, being pulled and pushed from all sides equally. exists in metallic bonds <span>if a substance is said to be magnetic, it is simply attracted by a magnet. if it is paramagnetic, it is repelled by a magnet.

2.</span>The magnetic field will be perpendicular to the electric field and vice versa<span> An electric field is the area which surrounds an electric charge within which it is capable of exerting a perceptible force on another electric charge. A magnetic field is the area of force surrounding a magnetic pole, or a current flowing through a conductor, in which there is a magnetic flux. A magnetic field can be produced when an electric current is passed through an electric circuit wound in a helix or solenoid. The relationship that exists between an electric field and a magnetic field is one of electromagnetic interaction as a consequence of associating elementary particles. The electrostatic force between charged particles is an example of this relationship.</span>

Light is incident along the normal to face AB of a glass prism of refractive index 1.54. Find αmax, the largest value the angle

marusya05 [52]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to Snell's law.

Snell's law establishes that reflection is subject to

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2$

Where,

$\theta =$ Angle between the normal surface at the point of contact

n = Indices of refraction for corresponding media

The total internal reflection would then be given by

$n_1 sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2$

$(1.54) sin\theta_1 = (1.33)sin(90)$

$sin\theta_1 = \frac{1.33}{1.54}$

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.54})$

$\theta = 59.72\°$

Therefore the $\alpha_{max}$ would be equal to

$\alpha = 90\°-\theta$

$\alpha = 90-59.72$

$\alpha = 30.27\°$

Therefore the largest value of the angle α is 30.27°
