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.

Cells that remain as sources of other cells are called

inna [77]

They are called stem cells. This cells are undifferentiated which means it can specialize in other types when it receives the right stimuli. They can divide through mitoses and become more stem cell or become a bone, muscle, blood cell, etc.

They can have 2 origins: embryos or some human tissue; their function is to regenerate or substitute damaged cells

5. A person fishing from a pier observes that four wave crests pass by in 7.0 s and estimates that the distance between two succ

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

v= 1.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between two successive crests = 4.0 m

λ = 4 m

T= 7 sec

T is the time between 3 waves.

3 waves = 7 sec

1 wave = 7 /3 sec

So t= 7/3 s

We know that frequency f

f= 1/t= 3/7 Hz

Lets take speed of the wave is v

v= f λ

f=frequency

λ=wavelength

v= 3/7 x 4 = 12 /7

v= 1.71 m/s

3, A 4kg block is pushed 2m at an acceleration of 0.2m/s square up a vertical wall by a constant force F applied at an angle of

Andrews [41]

The work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

The work done by the applied force is calculated as follows;

W = Fd

F - Ff = ma

where;

F is applied force
Ff is frictional force

Fcos(37) - μmgsin(37) = ma

Fcos(37) - (0.3)(4)(9.8)sin(37) = 4(0.2)

0.799F - 7.077 = 0.8

F = 9.86 N

W = Fdcosθ

W = 9.86 x 2 x cos(37)

W = 15.75 J

Thus, the work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

Water flows through a cast steel pipe (k = 50 W m.K, ε = 0.8) with an outer diameter of 104mm and 2 mm wall thickness. Calculate

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The heat loss per unit length is $\frac{Q}{L} = 2981 W/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The outer diameter of the pipe is $d = 104mm = \frac{104}{1000} = 0.104 m$

The thickness is $D = 2mm = \frac{2}{1000} = 0.002m$

The temperature of water is $T = 90^oC = 90 + 273 = 363K$

The outside air temperature is $T_a = -10^oC = -10 +273 = 263K$

The water side heat transfer coefficient is $z_1 = 300 W/ m^2 \cdot K$

The heat transfer coefficient is $z_2 = 20 W/m^2 \cdot K$

The heat lost per unit length is mathematically represented as

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{2 \pi (T - Ta)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_1} + \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_2}}$

Substituting values

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{2 * 3.142 (363 - 263)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{300} + \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{20}}$

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{628}{0.2107}$

$\frac{Q}{L} = 2981 W/m$

A 1300 kg car traveling at 35 mph rear-ends a 1000 kg car traveling 25 mph. Just after the collision (but before the driver’s sl

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer

given,

before collision

mass of car A = m_a = 1300 kg

velocity of car A = v_a = 35 mph

mass of car B = m_b= 1000 kg

velocity of car B = v_b = 25 mph

after collision

V_a = 30 mph

V_b = 31.5 mph

Initial momentum

$P_1 = m_av_a + m_b v_b$

$P_1 = 1300 \times 35+ 1000 \times 25$

$P_1 =70500 Kg.m/s$

final momentum

$P_2 = m_aV_a + m_b V_b$

$P_2 = 1300 \times 30+ 1000 \times 31.5$

$P_2 =70500 Kg.m/s$

here initial momentum is equal to the final momentum of the car.

hence, momentum is conserved in the collision.
