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

The surface charge density on an infinite charged plane is - 2.10 ×10−6C/m2. A proton is shot straight away from the plane at 2.
inn [45]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate electric field because of the plate is as follows.

         E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}

            = \frac{2.10 \times 10^{-6}}{2 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}

           = 1.18 \times 10^{5} N/C

Now, we will consider that equilibrium of forces are present there. So,

                   ma = qE

       a = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.18 \times 10^{5}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}

          = 1.13 \times 10^{13} m/s^2

According to the third equation of motion,

         v^{2} = 2 \times a \times d

or,      d = \frac{v^{2}}{2d}

             = \frac{(2.4 \times 10^{6})^{2}}{2 \times 1.13 \times 10^{13}}

             = 0.254 m

Thus, we can conclude that the proton will travel 0.254 m before reaching its turning point.

(URGENT) A ball rolls off a ledge. Its velocity is 7.70m/s in a horizontal direction. It falls on the floor 1.60m below the ledg
elena-s [515]

Answer:

the horizontal distance is 4.355 meters

Explanation:

The computation of the horizontal distance while travelling in the air is shown below:

Data provided in the question is as follows

Velocity = u = 7.70 m/s

H = 1.60 m

R = horizontal direction

Based on the above information

As we know that

R = u × time

where,

Time = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }

So,

= 7.70\times \sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.60}{10} }

= 4.355 meters

hence, the horizontal distance is 4.355 meters
