Answer:

0.022m or 2.2cm

Expxlanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

Mass (m) = 2.5g = 2.5/1000 = 2.5x10^-3Kg

Tension (T) = 0.029 N

Density (ρ) = 1000 kg/m3

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s2

Diameter (d) =?

Step 2:

Finding an expression to calculate the diameter of the ball. This is illustrated below:

Tension = weight displaced - weight of the ball

Weight displaced = Mass of water x acceleration due to gravity

Mass of water = Density x volume

Mass of water = ρxV

Weight displaced = ρxVxg = ρVg

Weight of the ball = Mass of the ball x acceleration due to gravity

Weight of the ball = mg

Therefore,

Tension = weight displaced - weight of the ball

T = ρVg - mg

Make V the subject of the formula

T = ρVg - mg

T + mg = ρVg

Divide both side by ρg

V = ( T + mg) /ρg. (1)

Recall that the ball is spherical in shape and the Volume of a sphere is given by

V = 4/3πr^3

Radius (r) = diameter (d) /2

V = 4/3π(d/2)^3

V = 4/3πd^3/8

V = πd^3 /6

Substituting the value of V into equation 1, we have

V = ( T + mg) /ρg

πd^3 /6 = ( T + mg) /ρg.

Making d the subject of the formula, we have:

πd^3 /6 = (T + mg) /ρg.

d^3 = 6(T + mg) /πρg.

Taking the cube root of both sides

d = [6(T + mg) /πρg]^1/3

Step 3:

Determination of the diameter of the ball. This is illustrated below:

T = 0.029 N

m = 2.5x10^-3Kg

g = 9.81 m/s2

ρ = 1000 kg/m3

d =?

d = [6(T + mg) /πρg]^1/3

d = [6(0.029 + 2.5x10^-3x9.81)/ πx1000x9.81]^1/3

d = 0.022m

Therefore, the diameter of the ball is 0.022m or 2.2cm

Two people push on the same door from opposite sides as shown.
tangare [24]
The correct answer is
<span>c. one person exerts more force than the other so that the forces are unbalanced.

In fact, the door is initially at rest. In order to move the door, a net force different from zero should be applied, according to Newton's second law:
</span>\sum F = ma
<span>where the term on the left is the resultant of the forces acting on the door, m is the door mass and a its acceleration.

In order to move the door, the acceleration must be different from zero. But this means that the resultant of the forces acting on it must be different from zero: this is possible only if  the forces applied by the two persons are unbalanced, i.e. one person exerts more force than the other.</span>

Determine the thrust that a boat with a volume of 1.2m³ receives when it is stranded at sea. The density of seawater is 1020kg /
puteri [66]

Answer:

The maximum possible up-thrust on the boat is 11,995.2 N

Explanation:

According to Archimedes' principle, the thrust received by an object immersed a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced;

The given parameter of the boat in sea water are;

The volume of the boat = 1.2 m³

The density of seawater = 1020 kg/m³

Density = Mass/Volume

Therefore, Mass = Density × Volume

The maximum volume of water that the boat displaces = 1.2 m³

The mass of the water displaced by the boat = (Density of seawater) × (Volume of seawater displaced)

∴ The maximum possible mass of the water displaced by the boat = 1.2 m³ × 1020 kg/m³ = 1224 kg

The maximum possible mass of the water displaced by the boat, m = 1224 kg

Weight = Mass, m × g

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The up-thrust on the boat = The weight of the seawater displaced

∴ The maximum possible up-thrust on the boat = m × g = 1224 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 11,995.2 N

The maximum possible up-thrust on the boat = 11,995.2 N.

Which of the following is a sample of igneous rock?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

I would say it's B. But just in case here is some information if I'm wrong.

Explanation:

Igneous rocks are very dense and hard. They may have a glassy apprearance. Metamorphic rocks may also have a glassy appearance. You can distinguish these from igneous rocks based on the fact that metamorphic rocks tend to be brittle, lightweight, and an opaque black color.

Hope this helps!
