3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.246".

Explanation:

Given that the amplitude is decreased by a factor of 9, then

A \rightarrow (A-\frac{A}{9} )

A \rightarrow \frac{8A}{9}

As we know,

Energy will be:

⇒  E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}KA^2

and,

⇒  E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}K(\frac{8A}{9} )^2

          =\frac{64KA^2}{162}

⇒  \Delta E=E_1-E_2

On putting the estimated values, we get

           =\frac{1}{2}KA^2-\frac{64KA^2}{162}

⇒  \frac{\Delta E}{E}=\frac{\frac{20}{162}KA^2}{\frac{1}{2}KA^2}

          =\frac{40}{162}

          =0.246

An unknown immiscible liquid seeps into the bottom of an open oil tank. Some measurements indicate that the depth of the unknown
ira [324]

Answer:

The specific gravity of the unkown liquid is 15.

Explanation:

Gauge pressure, at the bottom of the tank in this case, can be calculated from

P_{bot}=\gamma_{oil}h_1 + \gamma_{unk}h_2,

where h_1 and h_2 are the height of the column of oil and the unkown liquid, respectively. Writing for \gamma_{unk}, we have

\gamma_{unk} = \frac{P_{bot} - \gamma_{oil}h_1}{h_2} = \frac{65\frac{kN}{m^2} - 8.5\frac{kN}{m^3}\times 5m}{1.5m} = \mathbf{15 \frac{kN}{m^3}}.

Relative to water, the unknow liquid specific weight is 15 times bigger, therefore this is its specific gravity as well.

Why is it necessary to centrifuge out any precipitate formed in the unknown solution and continue testing the remaining unknown
jonny [76]

Answer:

Precipitation is the formation of a solid from a solution. It is necessary to centrifuge the precipitate to exert sufficient forces of gravity to bring the solid particles in the solution to come together and settle

Explanation:

When you centrifuge precipitate it enables the nucleation to form.

Centrifuging the precipitate helps in determining whether a certain element is present in a solution or not.

1. The geologic time scale divides time into years and centuries, true or false
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The answer is "False"

Explanation:

The geologic time scale is the "schedule" for occasions in Earth history. It partitions time into named units of unique time called in descending order of duration "eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages". The specification of those geologic time units depends on stratigraphy, which is the relationship and order of rock layers. The fossil structures that happen in the stones, nonetheless, give the central methods for setting up a geologic time scale, with the circumstance of the development and vanishing of far and wide species from the fossil record being used to outline the beginnings and endings of ages,, periods, and different stretches.

Geologic time is the broad time period involved by the geologic history of Earth. Formal geologic time starts toward the beginning of the Archean Eon (4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years back) and proceeds to the current day.
