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

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

For first half,

We need to calculate the height

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2gh$

$h =\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$ ....(I)

For second half,

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

$h =ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2$

$h=0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2$

$t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}$

Put the value of h from equation (I)

$t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times v^2}{g^2}}$

$t_{2}=\dfrac{v}{g}$

According to question,

$t_{1}+t_{2}=10$

$t_{1}=t_{2}$

Put the value of t₁ and t₂

$\dfrac{v}{g}+\dfrac{v}{g}=10$

$\dfrac{2v}{g}=10$

$v=\dfrac{10\times g}{2}$

Here, g = 10

The initial velocity is

$v=\dfrac{10\times10}{2}$

$v=50\ m/s$

Hence, The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

One mol of a perfect, monatomic gas expands reversibly and isothermally at 300 K from a pressure of 10 atm to a pressure of 2 at

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 mole of perfect, monoatomic gas

initial Temperature $(T_i)=300 K$

$P_i=10 atm$

$P_f=2 atm$

Work done in iso-thermal process $=P_iV_iln\frac{P_i}{P_f}$

$P_i$ =initial pressure

$P_f$ =Final Pressure

$W=10\times 2.463\times ln\frac{10}{2}=39.64 J$

Since it is a iso-thermal process therefore q=w

Therefore q=39.64 J

(b)if the gas expands by the same amount again isotherm-ally and irreversibly

work done is $=P\Delta V$

$V_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{10}=2.463 L$

$V_2=\frac{RT_2}{P_2}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{2}=12.315 L$

$\Delta W=1\times (12.315-2.463)=9.852 J$

$\Delta q=\Delta W=9.852 J$

$\Delta U=0$

Monica [59]

Answer:

3ohms

Explanation:

From Ohm's Law

V = IR

V is that voltage = 3volts

I = current = 1amp

R = resistance in ohms

Putting those values into the above formula.

3volts = 1amp×R

Making R the subject

R = 3/1

R = 3ohms

The resistance of the light bulb is 3ohms.

Find the displacement in meters a runner would travel in 5 hours at an average velocity of 12km/h to the southwest

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

60,000m

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s by multiplying with 1000/3600.

Convert hours to seconds by multiplying with 3600.

Because displacement is a vector quantity and deals with the shortest distance between points, simply plug it into the equation s=vt.

Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of the blue light emitted by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 6.88 × 1014 Hz. The speed of li

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: 430 nm.

Explanation:

The relation of wavelength and frequency is:

Formula used : $\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency = $6.88\times 10^{14}Hz$

$\lambda$ = wavelength = ?

c = speed of light = $3.00\times 10^{8}m/s$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$6.88\times 10^{14}=\frac{3.00\times 10^{8}m/s}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\frac{3.00\times 10^{8}m/s}{6.88\times 10^{14}}=0.43\times 10^{-6}m=430m$ $(1nm=10^{-9}m)$

Thus the wavelength (in nm) of the blue light emitted by a mercury lamp is 430 nm.
