Answer:

The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850

Specific gravity is given as;

$specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3$

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

$= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}$

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

A 477 g portion of soup is heated in a microwave oven from 25°C to 90°C, using radiation with a wavelength of 1.55 × 10⁻² m. Ass

zheka24 [161]

To solve this problem we will use the heat transfer equations, to determine the amount of heat added to the body. Subsequently, through the energy ratio given by Plank, we will calculate the energy of each of the photons. The relationship between total energy and unit energy will allow us to determine the number of photons

The mass of water in the soup is 477g

The change in temperate is

$\Delta T = (90+273K)-(25+273K) = 65K$

Use the following equation to calculate the heat required to raise the temperature:

$q = mc\Delta T$

Here,

m = Mass

c = Specific Heat

$q = (477)(4.184)(65)$

$q = 129724.92J$

The wavelength of the ration used for heating is $1.55*10^{-2}m$

The number of photons required is the rate between the total energy and the energy of each proton, then

$\text{Number of photons} = \frac{\text{Total Energy}}{\text{Energy of one Photon}}$

This energy of the photon is given by the Planck's equation which say:

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

Here,

h = Plank's Constant

c = Velocity of light

$\lambda =$ Wavelength

Replacing,

$E = \frac{(6.626*10^{-34})(3*10^8)}{1.55*10^{-2}}$

$E = 1.28*10^{-23}J$

Now replacing we have,

$\text{Number of photons} = \frac{82240.7}{1.28*10^{-23}}$

$\text{Number of photons} = 6.41*10^{27}$

Therefore the number of photons required for heating is $6.41*10^{27}$

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

1.Each of the spring scale will read 10N,considering acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s^2

2.Each of the spring scale will read 10N because each string exerts a force of 10 N to counterbalance the force of 1 kg mass attached to it. This means the tension on the both side of the string is 10 N. So the scale will read 10 N. Also as spring balances are attached in series and kept on table so both spring balances will read same readings.
