Consider a steel ball floating on the surface of mercury in a half-filled container. What happens when the rest of the container

is filled with water
Mathematics

Helen [10]3 years ago

Answer

The steel ball will be caught up in between the mercury and water medium.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Mercury with a density of 13546 kg/m^3
  • water with a density of 1000 kg/m^3
  • Steel with a density of 8050 kg/m^3

From the factual density of both substances given above ,it shows that mercury is more heavier than water. In that case mercury will be at the lower layer when mixed with water.

The steel ball will be caught in between both mixtures as the density of  steel is 8050 kg/m^3.Which  is more than Water but less than Mercury.

Which of the following sets could be the sides of a right triangle?
coldgirl [10]

Answer: Choice B) {3, 5, sqrt(34)}

=====================================

Explanation:

We can only have a right triangle if and only if a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a true equation. The 'c' is the longest side, aka hypotenuse. The legs 'a' and 'b' can be in any order you want.

-----------

For choice A,

a = 2

b = 3

c = sqrt(10)

So,

a^2+b^2 = 2^2+3^2 = 4+9 = 13

but

c^2 = (sqrt(10))^2 = 10

which is not equal to 13 from above. Cross choice A off the list.

-----------

Checking choice B

a = 3

b = 5

c = sqrt(34)

Square each equation

a^2 = 3^2 = 9

b^2 = 5^2 = 25

c^2 = (sqrt(34))^2 = 34

We can see that

a^2+b^2 = 9+25 = 34

which is exactly equal to c^2 above. This confirms the answer.

-----------

Let's check choice C

a = 5, b = 8, c = 12

a^2 = 25, b^2 = 64, c^2 = 144

So,

a^2+b^2 = c^2

25+64 = 144

89 = 144

which is a false equation allowing us to cross choice C off the list.

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 4x + 10?
sattari [20]
X^2+4x+10=0

x^2+4x=-10

x^2+4x+4=-6

(x+2)^2=-6

x+2=±i√6

x=-2±i√6

So the correct answer is the third one down from the top.
