Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The volume of a sphere is:

Volume = (4/3)πr³; where r is the radius of the shell.

Given the outside radius of 2.60 cm and inner radius of a cm, the volume of the spherical shell is:

Volume of spherical shell = $\frac{4}{3} \pi (2.6^3-a^3)$ cm³

But Density = mass / volume; Mass = density * volume.

Therefore, mass of spherical shell = density * volume

mass of spherical shell = $4.70\ g/cm^3$ * $\frac{4}{3} \pi (2.6^3-a^3)$ cm³

Mass of liquid = volume of inner shell * density of liquid

Mass of liquid = $\frac{4}{3} \pi a^3\ cm^3*1.23\ g/cm^3$

Total mass of sphere including contents = mass of spherical shell + mass of liquid

Total mass of sphere including contents (M) = $4.70\ g/cm^3$ * $\frac{4}{3} \pi (2.6^3-a^3)\ cm^3$ + $\frac{4}{3} \pi a^3\ cm^3*1.23\ g/cm^3$ =

Total mass of sphere including contents (M) = (346 - 14.5a³) grams

b) The mass is maximum when the value of a = 0

M = 346 - 14.5a³

M' = 43.5a² = 0

43.5a² = 0

a = 0

Determine the gravitational potential energy, in kJ, of 3 m3 of liquid water at an elevation of 40 m above the surface of Earth.

melomori [17]

Explanation:

We will calculate the gravitational potential energy as follows.

$P.E_{1} = mgz_{1}$

$P.E_{1} = (\rho V)gz_{1}$

= $1000 kg/m^{3} \times 3 m^{3} \times 9.7 \times 40 m$

= 1164000 J

or, = 1164 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now, we will calculate the change in potential energy as follows.

$\Delta P.E = mg(z_{2} - z_{1})$

= $\rho \times V \times g (z_{2} - z_{1})$

= $1000 \times 3 \times 9.7 (10 - 40)m$

= -873000 J

or, = -873 kJ

Thus, we can conclude that change in gravitational potential energy is -873 kJ.

Consider an electric dipole in a uniform electric field. In which orientation does the dipole-field system have the greatest pot

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: when the dipole moment and electric field are parallel

Explanation: The formulae that relates the potential energy of a dipole, dipole moment and strength of electric field is given as

u = p * E cosθ

Where, u= dipole potential energy, p = dipole moment, E = strength of electric field.

The expression is at maximum when θ = 0 (cos 0° = 1)

Hence the function for potential energy will be greatest when θ = 0° which implies that the dipole moment and strength of electric field are parallel to each other.

What scientific device fascinated Newton as a Boy?

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

As a boy, Sir Isaac Newton was fascinated by a Windmill.

A drawing of a Windmill, which many believe to have been sketched by the young Newton over three an half centuries ago was discovered in his childhood home on a wall.

An ultrasound unit is being used to measure a patient's heartbeat by combining the emitted 2.0 MHz signal with the sound waves r

alexandr402 [8]

Hi there,
for this question we have:
Signal 2.0 MHz = Emitted so we can call it $f_e$
and we need the Reflected = $f_{r}$
In this question, we have a source which goes to the heart and a reflected which comes back from the heart and we need the speed of the reflected.
So you should know that the speed of reflected is lower than the source(Emitted).
we also know: ΔBeat frequency(max) = 560 Hz = $f_{b}$
so we have:
$f_{e}$ - $f_{r}$ = $f_{b}$
so frequency of Reflected is:
2.0 × 10^6 Hz - 560 Hz = 1.99 × 10^6 Hz = $f_{r}$
now you know that Lambda = v/f
so if we find the lambda with our Emitted then we can find v with the Reflected:
Lambda = 1540(m/s) / 2.0 × 10^6 Hz = 7.7 × 10^-4 m
=> $v_{max}$ = (lambda)( $f_{r}$
=> 7.7 × 10^-4m (1.99 × 10^6Hz) = 1532 m/s
so the $v_{max}$ is equal to 1532 m/s :)))
This question is solved by two top teachers as fast as they could :))
I hope this is helpful
have a nice day
