A cube of wood 15.0 cm on each side is tied to the bottom of a tank filled with water to a depth of 50 cm. The tension in the st

ring is found to be 6.615 N. Please answer each of the following questions. Note: 1 atm = 1.013 x 105 Pa a) What is the density of the wood? b) What is the absolute pressure at the bottom of the tank.

Answer:

(a). The density of the wood is $1479.48\times10^{2}\ Kg/m^3$

(b). The absolute pressure at the bottom of the tank is $1.06200\times10^{5}\ Pa$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Side of cube = 15.0 cm

Depth = 50 cm

Tension = 6.615 N

We need to calculate the volume of the wood

Using formula of volume

$V = a^3$

$V=(15.0\times10^{-2})^3$

$V=0.003375\ m^3$

We need to calculate the density of the wood

Using buoyant force

$\rho_{w}gh=mg+T$

$\rho_{w}gh=\rho_{c}Vg+T$

Put the value into the formula

$\rho_{c}=\dfrac{\rho_{w}gh-T}{Vg}$

Put the value into the formula

$\rho_{c}=\dfrac{1000\times9.8\times50\times10^{-2}-6.615}{0.003375\times9.8}$

$\rho_{c}=1479.48\times10^{2}\ Kg/m^3$

(b). We need to calculate the absolute pressure at the bottom of the tank

Using formula of absolute pressure

$P=P_{atm}+\rho gh$

Put the value into the formula

$P=1.013\times10^{5}+1000\times9.8\times0.5$

$P=1.06200\times10^{5}\ Pa$

Hence, (a). The density of the wood is $1479.48\times10^{2}\ Kg/m^3$

(b). The absolute pressure at the bottom of the tank is $1.06200\times10^{5}\ Pa$ .

Here's what you need to know about waves:

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Now ... The question gives you the speed and the frequency,
but they're stated in unusual ways, with complicated numbers.

Frequency: How many each second ?
The thing that's making the waves is vibrating 47 times in 26.9 seconds.
Frequency = (47) / (46.9 s) = 1.747... per second. (1.747... Hz)

Speed: How far a point on a wave travels in 1 second.
The crest of one wave travels 4.16 meters in 13.7 seconds.
Speed = (4.16 m / 13.7 sec) = 0.304... m/s

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (0.304 m/s) / (1.747 Hz) = 0.174 meter per second

A certain type of laser emits light that has a frequency of 4.2 × 1014 Hz. The light, however, occurs as a series of short pulse

bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of the laser light, $f=4.2\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Time, $t=3.2\times 10^{-11}\ s$

(a) Let $\lambda$ is the wavelength of this light. It can be calculated as :

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4.2\times 10^{14}}$

$\lambda=7.14\times 10^{-7}\ m$

or

$\lambda=714\ nm$

(b) Let n is the number of the wavelengths in one pulse. It can be calculated as :

$n=f\times t$

$n=4.2\times 10^{14}\times 3.2\times 10^{-11}$

n = 13440

Hence, this is the required solution.

As the hot gas from a space shuttle is released downward, what does this cause to happen?

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

D. Upward force on the shuttle

Explanation:

The hot gas from space shuttles released downward causes an upward force on the shuttle and propels it up the more.

This hot gas is produced from super cooled oxygen and hydrogen tanks within the shuttle.
The upward force on the shuttle allows the craft to escape the gravitational pull of the earth on the shuttle
Special level of rapid acceleration must be attained for the shuttle to escape the earth pull.

Four point charges of magnitudes +3q, -q, +2q, and -4q are arranged in the corners of a square of side length L. The charge -q c

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

d) 0 V

Explanation:

It can be showed that the potential due to a point charge q, to a distance d from the charge, can be expressed as follows:

$V = \frac{k*q}{r}$

where k = $\frac{1}{4*\pi*\epsilon0} = 9e9 N*m2/C2$

As the potential is an scalar, and is linear with the charge, we can apply the superposition principle, which means that we can find the potential due to one of the charges, as if the other were not present.

By symmetry, all four charges are at the same distance from the center, so we can write the total potential, as follows:

$V = \frac{k}{d} ( q1 + q2 + q3 + q4) (1)$

where d, is the semi-diagonal of the square, that we can find applying Pythagorean theorem, as follows:

$d = \sqrt{\frac{L^{2}}{4} + \frac{L^{2}}{4} } = L*\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Replacing by the values in (1) we have:

$V = \frac{9e9N*m2/C2}{\frac{L}{2}*\sqrt{2} }* ( +3q -q + 2q + -4q) = 0 V$

which is equal to the option d).

Answer:

Height of the tree is <u>9.6 cm</u>

Explanation:

We know that, Magnification of an image is written as follows.

$\left(\frac{H_{i}}{H_{o}}\right)=\left(\frac{D_{i}}{D_{o}}\right)$

Where,

$\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{H}_{0}=\text { height of the object }} \\ {\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{i}}=\text { height of the image }} \\ {\mathrm{D}_{0}=\text { distance of the object }} \\ {\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{i}}=\text { distance of the image }}\end{array}$

As per given question,

$\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{H}_{1}=\text { height of the image }=\text { height of the image of the tree on screen }=16 \mathrm{cm}} \\ {\mathrm{D}_{0}=\text { distance of the object }=\text { distance of the tree from the pinhole }=6 \mathrm{cm}} \\ {D_{1}=\text { distance of the image }=\text { distance of the image from the pinhole }=10 \mathrm{cm}} \\ {\mathrm{H}_{0}=\text { height of the object }=\text { height of the tree }}\end{array}$

Substitute the values in the above formula,

$\begin{array}{l}{\left(\frac{H_{i}}{H_{o}}\right)=\left(\frac{D_{i}}{D_{o}}\right)} \\ {\left(\frac{16}{H_{o}}\right)=\left(\frac{10}{6}\right)} \\ {\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{o}}=\left(\frac{16 \times 6}{10}\right)} \\ {\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{o}}=9.6 \mathrm{cm}}\end{array}$

Height of the tree is 9.6 cm.
