One man wanted to weigh the air. He blew a balloon and weighed it. Then he blew air out of the balloon and weighed again. The we

ight in both cases was the same. From this the man concluded that the air weighs nothing. Why is it wrong? Hint: What type of container should be Better used to measure the weight of air.

Answer:

Because there's buoyancy force

Explanation:

What is wrong here is that he assumes that gravity is the only force affecting the weight of the balloon on the scale here. In reality there's also buoyancy force which lifts the full blown balloon upwards.

A better type of container would be an air tank where its volume does not change when it's empty and when it's full of air.

A hot cube of iron was heated up using 1500 J of thermal energy and was placed in a beaker of water. Before it was heated, the i

Answer:

451.13 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)............... Equation 1

Where Q = Heat, c = specific heat capacity of iron, m = mass of iron, t₂= Final temperature, t₁ = initial temperature.

Make c the subject of the equation

c = Q/m(t₂-t₁).............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Q = 1500 J, m = 133 g = 0.113 kg, t₁ = 20 °C, t₂ = 45 °C

Substitute these values into equation 2

c = 1500/[0.133(45-20)]

c = 1500/(0.133×25)

c = 1500/3.325

c = 451.13 J/kg.°C

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

producing a path for current to flow

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • An AC generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy using the principle of electromagnetic induction.
  • <em><u>Slip rings are two hollow rings to which two ends of the armature coil are connected. These rings rotate with the rotation of the coil. They function to  to allow for electrical contact with the brushes.</u></em>
  • Slip rings therefore, provide a means for connecting the rotating armature to an external circuit.

Two rocks of different masses are rolling down a hill at the same speed. Which rock (small one or big one) would have more kinet
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of bigger rock will be more than that of smaller one.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the rock is given by,

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

As velocity of both the rocks are same. Thus, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the rock

Kinetic energy ∝ mass

So, For greater mass kinetic energy will be greater and for smaller mass kinetic energy will be smaller.

Hence, Kinetic energy of bigger rock will be more than that of smaller one.
