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.

A 0.4-kg toy train car moving forward at 3 m/s collides with and sticks to a 0.8–kg toy car that is traveling in the opposite di

Gemiola [76]

Hey there!

Seems like you're looking for the size and direction to the final velocity of the two cars. To find it, you must solve it like this.

0.4 kg(3 m/s) + 0.8kg(–2 m/s) = 1.2 kg m/s -1.6 kg m/s = –0.4 kg m/s

–0.4 kg m/s = 1.2 kg(v) = (–0.4 kg m/s)/(1.2 kg) = v = –0.33 m/s

So, the cars are traveling at -0.33 m/s in the direction of the second car.

Hope this helps

A series circuit has a capacitor of 0.25 × 10⁻⁶ F, a resistor of 5 × 10³ Ω, and an inductor of 1H. The initial charge on the cap

viktelen [127]

Answer:

$q = (3 + e^{-4000 t} - 4 e^{-1000 t})\times 10^{-6}$

at t = 0.001 we have

$q = 1.55 \times 10^{-6} C$

at t = 0.01

$q = 2.99 \times 10^{-6} C$

at t = infinity

$q = 3 \times 10^{-6} C$

Explanation:

As we know that they are in series so the voltage across all three will be sum of all individual voltages

so it is given as

$V_r + V_L + V_c = V_{net}$

now we will have

$iR + L\frac{di}{dt} + \frac{q}{C} = 12 V$

now we have

$1\frac{d^2q}{dt^2} + (5 \times 10^3) \frac{dq}{dt} + \frac{q}{0.25 \times 10^{-6}} = 12$

So we will have

$q = 3\times 10^{-6} + c_1 e^{-4000 t} + c_2 e^{-1000 t}$

at t = 0 we have

q = 0

$0 = 3\times 10^{-6} + c_1 + c_2$

also we know that

at t = 0 i = 0

$0 = -4000 c_1 - 1000c_2$

$c_2 = -4c_1$

$c_1 = 1 \times 10^{-6}$

$c_2 = -4 \times 10^{-6}$

so we have

$q = (3 + e^{-4000 t} - 4 e^{-1000 t})\times 10^{-6}$

at t = 0.001 we have

$q = 1.55 \times 10^{-6} C$

at t = 0.01

$q = 2.99 \times 10^{-6} C$

at t = infinity

$q = 3 \times 10^{-6} C$

An elevator filled with passengers has a mass of 1683 kg. (a) The elevator accelerates upward from rest at a rate of 1.20 m/s2 f

artcher [175]

Answer:

the tension is 18513N

Explanation:

Given that

mass = 1683kg

acceleration = 1.2m/s^2

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

T-mg = ma

T = ma + mg

T = m(a +g)

T = 1683 kg(1.20 m/s2 + 9.8)

T = 1683 (11)

T = 18513N

therefore, the tension is 18513N

Material A is less optically dense than material B. How can you tell from the diagram above?

zimovet [89]

You can tell because the line bends and the closer it is to horizontal or past horizontal it is more dense
