Answer:

\frac{y}{L} = 0.66

Hence, the fraction of the length of the rod above water = \frac{y}{L} = 0.66

and fraction of the length of the rod submerged in water = 1 - \frac{y}{L} = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34  

Explanation:

Data given:

Density of the rod = 5/9 of the density of the water.

Let's denote density of Water with w

And density of rod with r

So,

r = 5/9 x w

Required:

Fraction of the length of the rod above water.

Let's denote total length of the rod with L

and length of the rod above with = y

Let's denote the density of rod = r

And density of water = w

So, the required is:

Fraction of the length of the rod above water = y/L

y/L = ?

In order to find this, we first need to find out the all type of forces acting upon the rod.

We know that, a body will come to equilibrium if the net torque acting upon a body is zero.

As, we know

F = ma

Density = m/v

m = Density x volume

Volume = Area x length = X ( L-y)

So, let's say X is the area of the cross section of the rod, so the forces acting upon it are:

F = mg

F = (Density x volume) x g

g = gravitational acceleration

F1 = X(L-y) x w x g (Force on the length of the rod submerged in water)

where,

X (L-y) = volume

w = density of water.

Another force acting upon it is:

F = mg

F2 =  X x L x r x g

Now, the torques acting upon the body:

T1 + T2 = 0

F1 ( y + (\frac{L-y}{2}) ) g sinФ - F2 x (\frac{L}{2}) x gsinФ = 0

plug in the  equations of F1 and F2 into the above equation and after simplification, we get:

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) . w = L^{2} . r

where, w is the density of water and r is the density of rod.

As we know that,

r = 5/9 x w

So,

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) . w = L^{2} . 5/9 x w

Hence,

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) = \frac{5L^{2} }{9}

\frac{L^{2} - y^{2}  }{L^{2} } = \frac{5}{9}

Taking L^{2} common and solving for \frac{y}{L}, we will get

\frac{y}{L} = 0.66

Hence, the fraction of the length of the rod above water = \frac{y}{L} = 0.66

and fraction of the length of the rod submerged in water = 1 - \frac{y}{L} = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34

Answer:

The offspring is homozygous for eye color.

Explanation:

Brown eyes is the shared allele of both parents (meaning homozygous) and an allele for hair type was not inherited from only one parents but from both however will recieve the dominant trait. (This is my best guess; I haven't studied this in awhile though)

A force acting on a body causes a change in the momentum of the from 12 kgms-1 to 16 kgms-1 in 0.2 s. calculate the magnitude of
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: Impulse = 4 kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question, you're given the following parameters:

Momentum P1 = 12 kgm/s

Momentum P2 = 16 kgm/s

Time t = 0.2 s

According to second law of motion,

Force F = change in momentum ÷ time

That is

F = (P2 - P1)/t

Cross multiply

Ft = P2 - P1

Where Ft = impulse

Substitute P1 and P2 into the formula

Impulse = 16 - 12 = 4 kgm/s

The magnitude of the impulse is therefore 4 kgm/s.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive technique used to stimulate regions of the human brain. A small coil is
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

0.125 volts

Explanation:

The induced emf can be sufficient to stimulate neuronal activity.

One such device generates a magnetic field within the brain that rises from zero to 1.5 T in 120 ms.

We need to find the induced emf within a circle of tissue of radius 1.6 mm and that is perpendicular to the direction of the field. The formula for the induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Where

\phi is magnetic flux

So,

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}\\\\=2\pi r\times \dfrac{dB}{dt}\\\\=2\pi \times 1.6\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{1.5-0}{120\times 10^{-3}}\\\\=0.125\ V

So, the induced emf is equal to 0.125 volts.
