Answer: Not suitable for large volume and irregular shaped object.

Explanation: The answer refers to a high school physics experiment where candidates are required to determine the density of an object which is regularly or irregularly shaped.

Therefore, an object whose shape is irregular although its volume might be as same as a regular shape i.e, (cuboid), might be difficult to fit in the container provided for the density.

Answer: The calculated volume measures the side of the cube to get the volume. An indirect measurement of volume measures the displacement of a liquid by a solid.

Explanation:

Volume is the amount of the space occupied by an object. Volume can be used to measure the amount of the space occupied by the solid, liquid and gas.

When the direct measurement is not possible then the indirect measurement is used by taking the small part that object to calculate the whole part of that.

The limitations of the calculated and indirect volume measurement are as follows,

The calculated volume measures the side of the cube to get the volume. An indirect measurement of volume measure the displacement of a liquid by a solid. For example, the volume of the liquid is displaced by the sponge is not equal to the volume of the sponge.

A roller coaster has a mass of 450 kgIt sits at the top of a hill with height 49 m. If it drops from this hill, how fast is it g

fgiga [73]

The speed of the roller coater at the bottom of the hill is 31 m/s.

<h3>Speed of the roller coater at the bottom of the hill</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as follows;

K.E(bottom) = P.E(top)

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

v is the speed of the coater at bottom hill
h is the height of the hill
g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 49)

v = 31 m/s

Thus, the speed of the roller coater at the bottom of the hill is 31 m/s.

You rub a clear plastic pen with wool, and observe that a strip of invisible tape is attacted to the pen. Assuming that the pen

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

When you rub a clear plastic pen with the wool the plastic pen gets charges this phenomenon is known as frictional charging.

Due to rubbing, the pen gets negatively charged.

We know, opposite charge attract each other and the same charge repel each other.

So, when the pen is negatively charged the tape might be positively charged or the tape might be uncharged.

Hence, the correct answer is option B

The magnetic field at 8 cm distance from a long straight wire, carrying is 0.2x10^-5 T. How much is the electric current in the

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A

Explanation:

We solve this problem by applying the formula of the magnetic field generated at a distance by a long and straight conductor wire that carries electric current, as follows:

$B=\frac{2\pi*a }{u*I}$

B= Magnetic field due to a straight and long wire that carries current

u= Free space permeability

I= Electrical current passing through the wire

a = Perpendicular distance from the wire to the point where the magnetic field is located

Magnetic Field Calculation

We cleared (I) of the formula (1):

$I=\frac{2\pi*a*B }{u}$ Formula(2)

$B=0.2*10^{-5} T = 0.2*10^{-5} \frac{weber}{m^{2} }$

a =8cm=0.08m

$u=4*\pi *10^{-7} \frac{Weber}{A*m}$

We replace the known information in the formula (2)

$I=\frac{2\pi*0.08*0.2*10^{-5} }{4\pi *10x^{-7} }$

I=0.8 A

Answer: The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A

A weightlifter presses a 200 N weight 0.5 m over his head in 2 s. What is the power of the weightlifter

icang [17]

Answer:

50 watts

Explanation:

Applying,

Power (P) = Workdone (W)/Time(t)

But,

Work done (W) = Force (F)×distance(d)

Therefore,

P = Fd/t..................... Equation 1

Where P = power of the weightlifter, F = Force applied, d = distance, t = time.

From the question,

Given: F = 200 N, d = 0.5 m, t = 2 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (200×0.5)/2

P = 100/2

P = 50 watts
