Answer:

-5%

Explanation:

We know that volume is mass/density

So to find percentage

Let first mass be = M1

Second be 0.94m( 1-6%)

Second density be=0.99

First density be d

So finlq volume v2= 0.94m/0.99p=

V2= (0.94/0.99)V1

V2= 0.95v1

So volume decrease will be 1-0.95= 0.05

= -5%

Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against a wall at a rate of 69.4 kg/s and a speed of 19.6 m/s. Calculate the mag

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Force, |F| = 1360.24 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against a wall at a rate of 69.4 kg/s, $\dfrac{m}{t}=69.4\ kg/s$

Initial speed of the water, u = 19.6 m/s

Finally water comes to stop, v = 0

To find,

The magnitude of the force exerted on the wall.

Solution,

Let F is the force exerted on the wall. The product of mass and acceleration is called the force exerted. Using second law of motion to find it as :

$F=m\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$F=\dfrac{-mu}{t}$

$F=-69.4\ kg/s\times 19.6\ m/s$

|F| = 1360.24 N

So, the magnitude of the force exerted on the wall is 1360.24 N.

Determine the amount of time for polonium-210 to decay to one fourth its original quantity. The half-life of polonium-210 is 138

ira [324]

Answer: 276 days

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the Radioactive Half Life Formula:

$A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{h}}$ (1)

Where:

$A=\frac{1}{4}A_{o}$ is the final amount of the material

$A_{o}$ is the initial amount of the material

$t$ is the time elapsed

$h=138 days$ is the half life of polonium-210

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find $t$ from (1):

$\frac{1}{4}A_{o}=A_{o}2^{\frac{-t}{138 days}}$ (2)

$\frac{A_{o}}{4A_{o}}=2^{\frac{-t}{138 days}}$ (3)

$\frac{1}{4}=2^{\frac{-t}{138 days}}$ (4)

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

$ln(\frac{1}{4})=ln(2^{\frac{-t}{138 days}})$ (5)

$-1.386=-\frac{t}{138days}ln(2)$ (6)

Clearing $t$ :

$t=276days$ (7)

An infinite plane of charge has surface charge density 7.2 Î¼C/m^2. How far apart are the equipotential surfaces whose potential

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

so the distance between two points are

$d = 0.246 \times 10^{-3} m$

Explanation:

Surface charge density of the charged plane is given as

$\sigma = 7.2 \mu C/m^2$

now we have electric field due to charged planed is given as

$E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$

now we have

$E = \frac{7.2 \times 10^{-6}}{2(8.85 \times 10^{-12})}$

$E = 4.07 \times 10^5 N/C$

now for the potential difference of 100 Volts we can have the relation as

$E.d = \Delta V$

$4.07 \times 10^5 (d) = 100$

$d = \frac{100}{4.07 \times 10^5}$

$d = 0.246 \times 10^{-3} m$

Two bar magnets are labeled A and B. The ends of each magnet are numbered 1 or 2, but the poles are not labeled. When A1 is brou

vichka [17]

It is definitely letter D. <span>A1 and B1 are like poles, but there is not enough information to tell whether they are north poles or south poles.

A1 and B1 is either both north poles or both south poles. Repulsion of both magnets says it all--like poles always repel while opposite poles always attract. Thus, the best conclusion to this would be choice D.</span>
