Explanation:

Iron ball sinks in water but not in mercury because of the difference in the density iron used in iron ball. The iron ball has more density than water and less than the mercury.

Hence, Iron ball sinks in water but not in mercury.

One of the checks that you could do for problem 1) would be to check the output resistance of the Wheatstone bridge to make sure

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the four resistances of th wheat stone bridge is

P, Q, R and S and the value of each is 350 ohm.

Here, P and Q are in series.

R' = P + Q = 350 + 350 = 700 ohm

Then R and S are in series

R' = R + S = 350 + 350 = 700 ohm

Now R' and R'' are in parallel.

So, the equivalent resistance is

Req = R' x R'' / ( R' + R'')

Req = 700 / 2 = 350 ohm

Thus, the reading of ohmmeter is 350 ohm.

What is the acceleration of the box?

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

a=4,32m/s^2

Explanation:

Fnet = F1 - F2

= 12-1.2

= 10.8N

m=2.5kg

Fnet =ma

10.8=2.5a then divide both sides by 2.5 to get acceleration

A Boeing 747 ""Jumbo Jet"" has a length of 59.7 m. The runway on which the plane lands intersects another runway. The width of t

Reika [66]

Answer:

1.7 seconds

Explanation:

To clear the intersection, the total distance to be covered = 59.7 + 25 =84.7m

first we need to find the initial speed to just enter the intersection by using the third equation of motion

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

45^2 - u^2 = 2 * -5.7 * 84.7

u^2 = 45^2 +965.58

u^2 = 2990.58

u = 54.7 m/s

Now for time we apply the first equation of motion

v-u =a * t

t = (v-u)/a = (45 - 54.7)/-5.7 = 1.7seconds
