To solve this problem we will apply the principle of buoyancy of Archimedes and the relationship given between density, mass and volume.

By balancing forces, the force of the weight must be counteracted by the buoyancy force, therefore

\sum F = 0

F_b -W = 0

F_b = W

F_b = mg

Here,

m = mass

g =Gravitational energy

The buoyancy force corresponds to that exerted by water, while the mass given there is that of the object, therefore

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = mg

Remember the expression for which you can determine the relationship between mass, volume and density, in which

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \rightarrow m = V\rho

In this case the density would be that of the object, replacing

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = V\rho g

Since the displaced volume of water is 0.429 we will have to

\rho_w (0.429V) = V \rho

0.429\rho_w= \rho

The density of water under normal conditions is 1000kg / m ^ 3, so

0.429(1000) = \rho

\rho = 429kg/m^3

The density of the object is 429kg / m ^ 3

a 1.2 m wire carries a current of 10.0 A in a uniform magnetic field of 0.050T. Find the magnitude of the magnetic force on the
rodikova [14]
To calculate we use the formula for a magnetic force in a current-carrying wire expressed as the product of the current, magnetic field and the length of the wire.
 F = I x L x B

where F is the force on the wire, I is the current flowing on the wire, L is the length of the wire and B is the magnetic field.

F = 10.0 A x 1.2 m x 0.050 T
F = 0.60 N

What is the difference between pitch and volume?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Pitch is a measure of how high or low something sounds and is related to the speed of the vibrations that produce the sound. Volume is a measure of how loud or soft something sounds and is related to the strength of the vibrations.

Determine the total moment of inertia of a merry-go round with 5 children sitting on it. Of the five children, four are seated a
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

We have five children.

Each of mass m =30kg

They sit on a merry go round

Mass of Merry go round M= 150kg

Radius of Merry go round is r =2m

Four children sit at the edge of the merry go round but one child sit at the centre.

The four child that sit at the edge are 2m from the centre of the merry go round but the one at the centre is 0m from the centre

Moment of inertia?

Moment of inertia is given as

I=Σmi•ri²

For the question, the moment of inertia is the combination of inertial of child and the merry go round

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child)+ I(last child)

The merry go round is assumed to be a solid cylinder, so it is going to have the moment of inertia of solid cylinder

Then,

I(merry go round ) =½ Mr²

Also, Four of the child has the same moment of inertia, they are 2m form the centre of the merry go round why the last child has no moment of inertia

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child) +I(last child )

I= ½Mr² + 4mr² + mr'²

I = ½ × 150 ×2² + 4×30×2² + 30×0²

I = 300 +480+0

I = 780 kgm²

A satellite is orbiting the earth. If a payload of material is added until it doubles the satellite's mass, the earth's pull of
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a satellite is orbiting the earth, the centripetal force is balanced by the gravitational force as :

\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}...........(1)

Where

M is the mass of the earth

m is the mass of the planet

From equation (1), the speed of the satellite depends only on the mass of the earth and the orbital radius.

So, If a payload of material is added until it doubles the satellite's mass, the earth's pull of gravity on this satellite will double but the satellite's orbit will not be affected. It is true.
