A small metal sphere weighs 0.34 N in air and has a volume of 13 cm3 . What is the acceleration of the sphere as it falls throug

Xelga [282]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of forces. Said balance will be given between buoyancy force and weight, both described as derived from Newton's second law, are given as

Buoyancy force

$F_B = V\rho g$

Here,

V = Volume

$\rho$ =Density of air

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Weight

$F_W = mg$

m = mass

g = Gravity

Our values are given as,

$\text{Weight of the sphere} = W = 0.34 N$

$\text{Volume} = V = 13 cm^3 = 13*10^{-6}m^3$

$\text{density of air} =\rho =1.29kg/m^3$

$\text{gravity}= g = 9.8 m/s^2$

Then,

$F = V\rho g$

Replacing,

$F = (13*10^{-6}m^3 )(1.29Kg/m^3)( 9.8 m/s^2) = 1.6434* 10^{-4} N$

Now net force is ,

$F_{net} = mg - F$

Mass of the sphere is

$m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{0.34N}{9.8m/s^2} = 0.03469 kg$

Now acceleration of the sphere is

$a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}$

$a = \frac{( 0.34 N)- (1.6434* 10^{-4} N)}{0.03469 kg}$

$a = 9.822m/s^2$

Therefore the acceleration of the sphere as it falls through water is $9.822m/s^2$

Adding heat to a liquid causes which of the following physical changes?

kow [346]

The density would decrease because the mass of an object deals with the amount of atoms in the object and since none of the object was reduced "a" wouldn't be the answer. Depending on the amount and period of time that the heat is applied the liquid could change into a gas so "d" wouldn't be correct. Density is the mass÷ volume, and when you add heat to an object it could take up different amounts of space because of its particles gaining energy and spreading apart. So the density would decrease because of the volume increasing. So I believe that "c" is the answer.

(a) Calculate the self-inductance (in mH) of a 55.0 cm long, 10.0 cm diameter solenoid having 1000 loops.

DedPeter [7]

Explanation:

(a) We have,

Length of solenoid, l = 55 cm = 0.55 m

Diameter of the solenoid, d = 10 cm

Radius, r = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Number of loops in the solenoid is 1000.

(a) The self inductance in the solenoid is given by :

$L=\dfrac{\mu_o N^2A}{l}$
