Brut [27]

Answer:

$900

Explanation:

Step 1: Our output value is 9000.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$9000=100\%$

Step 4: Similarly, x=10%

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$9000=100

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

\frac{9000}{x}=\frac{100\%}{10\%}

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

\frac{x}{9000}=\frac{10}{100}$

\Rightarrow x=900$

Therefore, $10\%$ of $9000$ is $900$

A hollow plastic sphere is held below the surface of a fresh-water lake by a cord anchored to the bottom of the lake. The sphere

Naya [18.7K]

Answer: a) B = 6811N

b) m = 603.2kg

c) 86.8%

Explanation: Buoyant force is a force a fluid exerts on a submerged object.

It can be calculated as:

$B=\rho_{fluid}.V_{obj}.g$

where:

$\rho_{fluid}$ is density of the fluid the object is in;

$V_{obj}$ is volume of the object;

g is acceleration due to gravity, is constant and equals 9.8m/s²

a) For the hollow plastic sphere, density of water is 1000kg/m³:

$B=10^{3}.0.695.9.8$

B = 6811N

b) Anchored to the bottom, the forces acting on the sphere are Buoyant, Tension and Force due to gravity:

B = T + $F_{g}$

B = T + mg

mg = B - T

$m=\frac{B - T}{g}$

Calculating:

$m=\frac{6811 - 900}{9.8}$

m = 603.2kg

c) When the shpere comes to rest on the surface of the water, there are only buoyant and gravity acting on it:

B = m.g

$\rho_{w}.V_{sub}.g=m.g$

$V_{sub}=\frac{m}{\rho_{w}}$

$V_{sub}=\frac{603.2}{1000}$

$V_{sub}$ = 0.6032m³

Fraction of the submerged volume is:

$\frac{V_{sub}}{V_{obj}}$ = $\frac{0.6932}{0.695}$ = 0.868

a spring is used to launch a ball vertically into the air. the spring has a spring constant of 200N/m and is compressed by 5 cm.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

2.55 m

Explanation:

Elastic energy = gravitational energy

½ kx² = mgh

h = kx² / (2mg)

h = (200 N/m) (0.05 m)² / (2 × 0.010 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

h = 2.55 m

A sphere is charged with electrons to -6 x 10^-6C. How many electrons make up this charge? The elemental charge is 1.6 x 10^-19

just olya [345]

Answer:

$3.75*10^{-13}$ electrons

Explanation:

The total charge Q is the sum of the charge of the N electrons contained in the sphere:

$Q=N*q_{e}$

$q_{e}=-1.6*10^{-19}C$ charge of a electron

We solve to find N:

$N=\frac{Q}{q_{e}}=\frac{-6 x 10^{-6}}{-1.6 x 10^{-19}}=3.75*10^{-13}$
