Answer: The mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg

Explanation:

Using the equation of fundamental frequency of a taut string.

f = (1/2L)*√(T/μ) .... (Eqn1)

Where

f= frequency in Hertz =80Hz

T = Tension in the string = Mg

M represent the mass of the substance (sculpture) =?

g= 9.8m/s^2

L= Length of the string=90cm=0.9m

μ= mass density = mass of string /Length of string

mass of string =5g=0.005kg

L=0.9m

μ=0.005/0.9 = 0.0056kg/m

Using (Eqn1)

80= 1/(2*0.9) √(T/0.0056)

144= √(T/0.0056)

Square both sides

20736= T/0.0056

T= 116.12N

Recall that T =Mg

116.12= M * 9.8

M=116.12/9.8

M= 11.8kg

Therefore the mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg

What If? Fluoride ions (which have the same charge as an electron) are initially moving with the same speed as the electrons fro
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

E₁ / E₂ = M / m

Explanation:

Let the electric field be E₁ and E₂ for ions and electrons respectively .

Force on ions = E₁ e where e is charge on ions .

Acceleration on ions a = E₁ e / M . Let initial velocity of both be u . Final velocity v = 0

v² = u² - 2as

0 = u² - 2 x E₁ e d  / M  

u² = 2 x E₁ e d  / M

Similarly for electrons

u² = 2 x E₂ e d  / m

Hence

2 x E₁ e d  / M =  2 x E₂ e d  / m

E₁ / E₂ = M / m

In what fundamental way did the work of Galileo differ from his predecessors who had thought about the sky?
kompoz [17]

Answer: The correct answer is:

Galileo used instruments and experiments to show him what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic

Explanation:

Galileo can be considered as one of the precursors of experimentation and the scientific method. A method that doesn't rely on "common sense" and rationalization and logic, but instead is fuelled by a disposition of skepticism and rather makes claims about reality based on experimentation and empirical data shows.

Galileo differed from his predecessors because he actually used and developed instruments and method to reliable measure and observe what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic.

What is the only component of scalar quantities?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Scalar quantities have a size or magnitude only and need no other information to specify them. Thus, 10 cm, 50 sec, 7 litres and 3 kg are all examples of scalar quantities.

the distance between any two bodies is 10 M and the gravitational force between them is 3.2×10-⁹m. if the mass of one object is
cluponka [151]

Answer:

0.8 x 10^-9 kg

Explanation:

Given,

Distance ( R ) = 10 m

Force ( F ) = 3.2 x 10^-9 N

Mass ( m1 ) = 40 kg

To find : Mass ( m2 ) = ?

Formula : -

F = m1.m2 / R^2

m2 = FR^2 / m1

= 3.2 x 10^-9 x 10 / 40

= 3.2 x 10^-9 / 4

= ( 3.2 / 4 ) x 10^-9

m2 = 0.8 x 10^-9 kg
