Answer & Explanation:

Bronze is one of the earliest metals known to man. It is defined as an alloy made of copper and another metal, usually tin. Compositions vary, but most modern bronze is 88% copper and 12% tin. Bronze may also contain manganese, aluminum, nickel, phosphorus, silicon, arsenic, or zinc.

An object weighs 15N in air and 13N when completely

anastassius [24]

Answer:

The volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Explanation:

From Archimedes' principle,

Upthrust = lost in weight = weight of water displaced.

U = W₁ - W₂..................... Equation 1

Where U = upthrust, W₁ = weight in air, W₂ = weight when completely submerged in water.

Given: W₁ = 15 N, W₂ = 13 N

Substituting these values into equation 1

U = 15 - 13

U = 2 N

But,

Weight of water displaced = mass of water displaced. × acceleration due to gravity.

Mass of water displaced = weight of water displaced/ acceleration due to gravity.................... Equation 2

Where: acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², weight of water displaced = 2 N

Substituting these values into equation 2

Mass of water displaced = 2/9.8

Mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg.

Also,

Volume of water displaced = mass of water displaced/ Density of water.............. Equation 3

Where Density of water = 1.0 kg/m³, mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg

Substituting these values into equation 3 above,

Volume of water displaced = 0.204/1

volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Therefore the volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

a body dropped from a height reaches a velocity of 13m/s just before touching the ground. What is the initial height of the ball

SashulF [63]

Hi there!

We can use the following (derived) equation to solve for the final velocity given height:

vf = √2gh

We can rearrange to solve for height:

vf² = 2gh

vf²/2g = h

Plug in the given values (g = 9.81 m/s²)

(13)²/2(9.81) = 8.614 m

We can calculate time using the equation:

vf = vi + at, where:

vi = initial velocity (since dropped from rest, = 0 m/s)

a = acceleration (in this instance, due to gravity)

Plug in values:

13 = at

13/a = t

13/9.81 = 1.325 sec

What is (a) the wavenumber and (b) the wavelength of the radiation used by an fm radio transmitter broadcasting at 92. 0 mhz?

yulyashka [42]

The wavenumber and (b) the wavelength of the radiation used by an fm radio transmitter broadcasting at 92. 0 mhz will be 31.25 * $10^{2}$ $m^{-1}$ and 0.032 * $10^{2}$ m respectively

Forms of electromagnetic radiation like radio waves, light waves or infrared (heat) waves make characteristic patterns as they travel through space. Each wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between peaks (high points) is called wavelength.

Wavenumber, also called wave number, a unit of frequency, often used in atomic, molecular, and nuclear spectroscopy, equal to the true frequency divided by the speed of the wave and thus equal to the number of waves in a unit distance.

wavelength = ?

frequency = 92 m Hz = 92 * $10^{6}$ Hz

speed of light = 3 * $10^{8}$ m/s

speed of light = frequency * wavelength

wavelength = speed of light / frequency

= 3 * $10^{8}$ / 92 * $10^{6}$

= 0.032 * $10^{2}$ m

wavenumber = 1 / wavelength

= 1 / 0.032 * $10^{2}$ m

= 31.25 * $10^{2}$ $m^{-1}$

A single mass (m1 = 3.5 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring constant is k = 278 N/m. 1)What is the dist

artcher [175]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.126m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;

F = k x e -------------------(i)

Where;

k = the spring's constant.

From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e

F = W -----------------------(ii)

But;

W = m x g;

where;

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]

From equation (ii), it implies that;

F = W = m x g

Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;

F = k x e

m x g = k x e ------------------(iii)

From the question;

m = m1 = 3.5kg

k = 278N/m

Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;

3.5 x 10 = 278 x e

35 = 278e

Now solve for e;

e = 35/278

e = 0.126m

Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m
