Answer:

the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

relative density of the oil, $\gamma _0$ = 0.875

mass of the object in oil, $M_o$ = 0.013 kg

mass of the object in water, $M_w$ = 0.012 kg

let the mass of the object in air = $M_a$

weight of the oil, $W_0 = M_a - 0.013$

weight of the water, $W_w = M_a - 0.012$

The relative density of the oil is given as;

$\gamma_0 = \frac{density \ of \ oil }{density \ of \ water} = \frac{W_0}{W_w} = \frac{M_a -0.013}{M_a -0.012} \\\\0.875 = \frac{M_a -0.013}{M_a -0.012}\\\\0.875(M_a - 0.012) = M_a - 0.013\\\\0.875M_a - 0.0105 = M_a -0.013\\\\0.875M_a - M_a = 0.0105 - 0.013\\\\-0.125 M_a = -0.0025\\\\M_a = \frac{0.0025}{0.125} \\\\M_a = 0.02 \ kg$

Therefore, the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

Which ball has the greater average speed during the 1-s interval after release (assuming neither hits the ground during that tim

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The ball thrown downward

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown vertically, the acceleration of it is the gravity acceleration independent if it is thrown downward or upward. However, the acceleration is a vector, so, when the ball is thrown upward, the movement is against the gravity, so the acceleration is negative, and so, the velocity decreases during time; and when the ball is thrown downward, the movement goes to the gravity, so the acceleration is positive, so the velocity increase after time passes.

(a) The Sun orbits the Milky Way galaxy once each 2.60 x 108y , with a roughly circular orbit averaging 3.00 x 104 light years i

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Part a)

$a_c = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} m/s^2$

Part b)

$v = 2.18 \times 10^5 m/s$

Explanation:

Time period of sun is given as

$T = 2.60 \times 10^8 years$

$T = 2.60 \times 10^8 (365 \times 24 \times 3600) s$

$T = 8.2 \times 10^{15} s$

Now the radius of the orbit of sun is given as

$R = 3.00 \times 10^4 Ly$

$R = 3.00 \times 10^4 (3\times 10^8)(365 \times 24 \times 3600)m$

$R = 2.84 \times 10^20 m$

Part a)

centripetal acceleration is given as

$a_c = \omega^2 R$

$a_c = \frac{4\pi^2}{T^2} R$

$a_c = \frac{4\pi^2}{(8.2\times 10^{15})^2}(2.84 \times 10^{20})$

$a_c = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} m/s^2$

Part b)

orbital speed is given as

$v = \frac{2\pi R}{T}$

$v = \frac{2\pi (2.84 \times 10^{20})}{8.2 \times 10^{15}}$

$v = 2.18 \times 10^5 m/s$

Density: Two blocks, A and B, are put in a tank of water. Block A has a density of 1.21 g/cm³. Block B has a density of 1.37 g/c

stira [4]

Answer:

Block A

Explanation:

Block A will float higher in the water compared to the second Block.

The density of water is 1g/cm³.

According to the principle of floatation "an object that floats in a liquid will displace equal amount of fluid to the weight of the object".

A body will become more submerged in water if it has more density because density is the mass per volume of body.

An object with a higher density than another will sink in the liquid of the one with lesser density.

Object A has lesser density and will float higher up and displace very little water.
Object B has higher density and will be more submerged.
