An aluminum bar has a mass of 9 kg in the air. Calculate its volume. Now imagine that you submerge the aluminum bar in water han

ging it from a rope. Calculate the apparent weight it would have in the water.

Answer:

55.7 N

Explanation:

The density of aluminum is 2710 kg/m³.  So its volume is:

V = (9 kg) / (2710 kg/m³)

V = 0.00332 m³

The apparent weight is the actual weight minus the buoyant force.

N = mg − B

N = mg − ρVg

N = g (m − ρV)

N = (9.8 m/s²) (9 kg − (1000 kg/m³) (0.0332 m³))

N = 55.7 N

At its peak, a tornado is 53.0 m in diameter and carries 465-km/h winds. What is its angular velocity in revolutions per second?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

0.7757 rev/s

Explanation:

d = Diameter of the tornado = 53 m

r = Radius of the tornado = 53/2 = 26.5 m

v = Velocity of wind = 465 km/h

Converting velocity to m/s

465=465\times \frac{1000}{3600}=\frac{775}{6}

Angular velocity

\omega=\frac{v}{r}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{\frac{775}{6}}{26.5}\\\Rightarrow \omega=4.87\ rad/s

\omega=4.87\frac{1}{2\pi}=0.7757\ rev/s

∴ Angular velocity is 0.7757 rev/s

In a binary-star system that produces a nova, the white dwarf pulls matter from the companion star. The matter forms an accretio
Studentka2010 [4]

As a head-up, it is important to notice that a white dwarf only shines thanks to the stored energy and light, because a white dwarf doesn't have any hydrogen left to perform nuclear fusion.

Now the process:

First, the white dwarf accumulates all the extracted matter from its companion, onto its own surface. This extra matter increases the white dwarf's temperature and density.

After a while, the star reaches about 10 million K, so nuclear fusion can begin. The hydrogen that has been "stolen" from the other star and accumulated in the white dwarf's surface it's used for the fusion, dramatically increasing the star's brightness for a short time, causing what we know as a Nova.

As this fuel its quickly burnt out or blown into space, the star goes back to its natural white dwarf state. Since the white dwarf nor the companion star are destroyed in this process, it can happen countless of times during their lifespan.

An object at rest on a flat, horizontal surface explodes into two fragments, one seven times as massive as the other. The heavie
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

One fragment is 7 times heavier than the other

Let one fragment mass be M

Let this has a velocity v

And the other 7M

And this a velocity V

Initially the fragment is at rest u = 0

Applying conservation of momentum

Momentum is given as p=mv

Initial momentum = final momentum

Po = Pf

(M+7M) × 0 = 7M •V − Mv

0 = 7M•V - Mv

Divide both sides by M

0 = 7V -v

v = 7V

Since friction decelerates the masses to zero speed, we can calculate the NET work on the individual blocks and relate this quantity to the change in kinetic energy of each block

The workdone by the 7M mass is

Distance moved by 7M mass is 6.8m, Then, d =6.8m

W = fr × d

Where fr = µkN

When N=W =mg, where m=7M

N= 7Mg

fr = −µk × 7mg

Then, W(7m) = −7µk•Mg×d

W(7m) = −7µk•Mg×6.8

W(7m) = −47.6 µk•Mg

Then, same procedure,

Let distance move by the small mass be m

Work done by M mass

W(m) = −µk•Mg×d'

Since it is a wordone by friction, that is why we have a negative sign.

Using conservation of energy

Work done by 7M mass is equal to work done by M mass

W(7m) = W(m)

−47.6 µk•Mg = −µk•Mg×d

Then, M, g and µk cancels out

We are left with

-46.7 = -d

Then, d = 46.7m
