CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION

The cube of wood having an edge dimension of 19.7cm and a density of 647kg/m3 floats on water

(a) What is the distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level answer in cm

(b) What mass of lead should be placed on the cube so that the top of the cube will be just level with the water surface answer in kg

Answer:

a)6.29cm

b)2.78 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Let us calculate the volume first, we were given dimension as 19.7cm=0.197m

Volume is (0.197 meters)³ = 0.00764m³

Then we can calculate the mass as;

Given mass is 647 kg/m³ x 0.00774m³ = 4.947kg

The weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

weight = 4.947 x 9.8 N/kg = 48.44N

By Floating we can say the the buoyancy force has to equal the weight (48.44 N) which has

which is equal to the weight of volume of the displaced water. Or the mass, the calculation is the same.

We know that density of fresh water at 20ºC is 998 kg/m³

Then we can calculate the volume of displaced water as

4.947 kg / 998 kg/m³ = 0.00496 m³

We know that the displaced water has a shape of a rectangular solid with 0.197 meters on the two horizontal dimensions, and h as the height to the surface then

V = 0.197²h = 0.00496

0.00496= 0.197²h

h = 0.1278 meters or 12.78 cm

Then the the distance exposed, would be 19.7–12.78 = 6.29 cm

b) ifthe cube is fully submerged, the volume of the displaced water is 0.00774m³

mass of displaced water is 0.00774m³ x 998 kg/m³ = 7.724 kg

Added mass is the mass of the displaced water – mass of block

= 7.724–4.947 = 2.78 kg

Why does the output of a microphone increase as the frequency of the sound waves which it receives increases
Sloan [31]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The frequency of sound waves received by the microphone influences the output or pitch of the sound obtained from the microphone.

The higher the frequency of the sound received by the microphone, the higher the output of the microphone and vice versa. This is because, the higher the frequency of sound, the higher the oscillations produced and the greater the output of the microphone.

The rise and fall in the pitch of sound waves as the frequency of sound waves varies is called inflection.

Which waves have oscillations parallel to their direction of motion
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The direction of these oscillations is the difference between longitudinal or transverse waves. In longitudinal waves, the vibrations are parallel to the direction of wave travel. In transverse waves, the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of wave travel.

What is the difference between pitch and volume?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Pitch is a measure of how high or low something sounds and is related to the speed of the vibrations that produce the sound. Volume is a measure of how loud or soft something sounds and is related to the strength of the vibrations.

How much force is needed to accelerate a 1,100 kg car at a rate of 1.5 m/s2?
Anna [14]
Assuming there is no force of friction...

F = ma
F = (1300kg)(1.5m/s^2)
F = 1950N
Just multiply mass by acceleration.
1300 x 1.5 = 1950N.
