A cube of oak wood with very smooth faces normally floats in water. Suppose you submerge it completely and press one face flat a

gainst the bottom of a tank so that no water is under that face. Will the block float to the surface? Is there a buoyant force on it? Explain

Answer:

There is no Buoyant force.

The block will only float to the surface when the pressed face is released

Explanation:

There would be no Buoyancy force on the cube of Oak wood when one face is pressed flat against the Bottom of a tank and this is simply because there is no upward force acting on the side of the cube that is pressed against the bottom

Buoyant force is simply caused by the pressure difference between the water over and under an object immersed in water . hence since there is no water pressure under the immersed cube there will be no pressure difference between the water under and over the cube of oak wood immersed in the water.

Any Acellus folk figure out the answer to this one??? I CANNOT for the life of me.
Olin [163]

Answer:

-0.10472\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

Remember that any <u><em>clockwise</em></u> rotation is considered negative, and any <u><em>counterclockwise</em></u> rotation is considered positive.

The formula for period is:

T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}

Solve for \omega\\ and you get:

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

The period is 60 seconds so make that division and you're left with -0.10472\frac{rad}{s} or -0.10\frac{rad}{s} if significant figures apply (negative because the rotation is clockwise).

What is the critical angle of light traveling from benzene (n=1.501) into air?
Taya2010 [7]
The critical angle formula should be: sin^-1(1/n) 

 where "n" is 1.501 into the air

<span>The critical angle of light travelling from benzene, happens because the larger angles of incidence from the inside of the benzene has experienced the total internal reflection. </span>

A microwave oven operating at 1.22 × 108 nm is used to heat 165 mL of water (roughly the volume of a teacup) from 23.0°C to 100.
ANTONII [103]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of photons are 3.7\times 10^8

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Wavelength of microwave = 1.22\times 10^8nm=0.122m    (Conversion factor:  1m=10^9nm  )

  • To calculate the energy of one photon, we use Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

h = Planck's constant = 6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength = 0.122 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E=\frac{6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{0.122m}\\\\E=1.63\times 10^{-24}J

Now, calculating the energy of the photon with 88.3 % efficiency, we get:

E=1.63\times 10^{-24}\times \frac{88.3}{100}=1.44\times 10^{-24}J

  • To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 165 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{165mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=165g

  • To calculate the amount of energy of photons to raise the temperature from 23°C to 100°C, we use the equation:

q=mc\Delta T

where,

m = mass of water = 165 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g.°C

\Delta T = change in temperature = T_2-T_1=100^oC-23^oC=77^oC

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q=165g\times 4.184J/g.^oC\times 77^oC\\\\q=53157.72J

This energy is the amount of energy for 'n' number of photons.

  • To calculate the number of photons, we divide the total energy by energy of one photon, we get:

n=\frac{q}{E}

q = 53127.72 J

E = 1.44\times 10^{-24}J

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{53157.72J}{1.44\times 10^{-24}J}=3.7\times 10^{28}

Hence, the number of photons are 3.7\times 10^8
