When you float an ice cube in water, you notice that 90% of it is submerged beneath the surface. Now suppose you put the same ic

e cube in a glass of some liquid whose density is less than that of water. How much of the ice cube will be submerged below the surface of this liquid? a. More than 90% b. 90% c. Less than 90%

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

90% of the body is submerged in water.

Now it is immersed in an unknown liquid whose density is less than the density of water.

Buoyant force acting on the body depends on the volume immersed, density of liquid and gravity.

As the density of liquid is less than the density of water, so the buoyant force acting on the body by the unknown liquid is less than water. So it is submerged less than 90% in this liquid.

A satellite circles the earth in an orbit whose radius is six times the earth's radius. The earth's mass is 5.98 1024 kg, and it

makkiz [27]

Answer:

The period of the satellite is 12.05 s.

Explanation:

The period of the satellite can be determined by;

T = $\sqrt{\frac{4\pi ^{2} r^{2} }{GM} }$

where: T is the period, r is the radius of the orbit, G is the gravitation constant and M is the mass of the Earth.

Given that: r = 6 x (6.38 x $10^{6}$ ) = 38.28 x $10^{6}$ m, M = 5.98 x $10^{24}$ kg, G = 6.673 x $10^{-11}$ N $m^{2}$ / $kg^{2}$ .

Therefore,

T = $\sqrt{\frac{4*(\frac{22}{7} )^{2} (38.28*10^{6}) ^{2} }{6.673*10^{-11} *5.98*10^{24} } }$

= $\sqrt{\frac{5.79*10^{16} }{3.99*10^{14} } }$

= $\sqrt{145.113}$

= 12.0463

T = 12.05 s

The period of the satellite is 12.05 s.

A skater extends her arms horizontally, holding a 5-kg mass in each hand. She is rotating about a vertical axis with an angular

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

$1.98$ rev/s

Explanation:

$m$ = mass attached to each hand = 5 kg

$r_{i}$ = initial distance of masses in each hand = 1 m

$r_{f}$ = final distance of masses in each hand = 0.1 m

$I$ = moment of inertia of body = 5 kgm²

$I_{i}$ = initial total moment of inertia = $I + 2 mr_{i}^{2}$

$w_{i}$ = initial angular velocity = 1 rev/s

$I_{f}$ = final total moment of inertia = $I + 2 mr_{f}^{2}$

$w_{f}$ = final angular velocity = ?

Using conservation of angular momentum

$I_{i} w_{i} = I_{f} w_{f}$

$(I + 2 mr_{i}^{2}) w_{i} = (I + 2 mr_{f}^{2}) w_{f}$

$(5 + 2 (5) (1)^{2}) (1) = (5 + 2 (5) (0.1)^{2}) w_{f}$

$w_{f} = 2.94$ rev/s
