Answer:

(a) The density of the object is 316/343 × the density of the oil

(b) The fraction of oil displaced after immersing the object is 0.461 of the oil volume

Explanation:

(a) The volume, V of a cone of height, h and base diameter, D = 2×r is given by the following equation;

V = \dfrac{\pi r^{2} h}{3}

The volume of the object is therefore;

\dfrac{\pi \times 4^{2} \times 14}{3} = 74\tfrac{2}{3}\pi \, cm^3

Where 6 cm is above the oil level we have;

\dfrac{\pi \times \left (6 \times \dfrac{4}{14}   \right )^{2} \times 6}{3} = 5\tfrac{43}{49}\pi \, cm^3 above the oil level

Therefore, volume of the oil displaced = 68\tfrac{116}{147}\pi cm³ = 216.11 cm³

The density of the object is thus;

\dfrac{68\tfrac{116}{147}\pi}{ 74\tfrac{2}{3}\pi} \times  Density \ of \ the \ oil = \dfrac{316}{343}  \right ) \times  Density \ of \ the \ oil

The density of the object = 316/343 × the density of the oil.

(b) The volume of the oil = 2 × Volume of the object = 2 \times 74\tfrac{2}{3}\pi \, cm^3 = 149\tfrac{1}{3}\pi \, cm^3

The fraction of the volume displaced, x, after immersing the object is given as follows;

x = \dfrac{68\tfrac{116}{147}\pi}{ 149\tfrac{1}{3}\pi} = \dfrac{158}{343} = 0.461

The fraction of oil displaced after immersing the object = 0.461 of the volume of the oil

This equation is known as the ideal gas law, and it can be used to predict the behavior of many gases at relatively low pressure
Masja [62]
The correct answer is 
<span>C) either the pressure of the gas, the volume of the gas, or both, will increase.

In fact, the ideal gas law can be written as
</span>pV=nRT
<span>where 
p is the gas pressure
V is its volume
n is the number of moles
R is the gas constant
T is the absolute temperature of the gas

We can see that if the temperature T increases, then the term on the right in the equation increases, therefore the term on the left should increase as well. In order for this to be possible, at least one between p and V should increase, or also both of them. Therefore, the correct answer is C.</span>

A rocket's acceleration is 6.0 m/s2. Assuming it starts at 0 m/s, how long will it take for the rocket to reach a velocity of 42
elena-s [515]
You said "<span>A rocket's acceleration is 6.0 m/s2.".

That just means that its speed increases by 6 m/s every second.
Whenever you look at it, its speed is 6 m/s faster than it was
one second earlier.

If it starts out with zero speed, then its speed is 6 m/s after 1 second,
12 m/s after 2 seconds, 18 m/s after 3 seconds . . . etc.

How long does it take to reach 42 m/s ?

Well, how many times does it have to go 6 m/s FASTER 
in order to build up to 42 m/s ?

That's just (42/6) = 7 times.

Writing it correctly, with the units and everything, it looks like this:


(42 m/s) / (6 m/s</span>²)

= (42/6)  (m/s) / (m/s²)

= (42/6)  (m/s · s²/m)

=  7 seconds
