This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Styrofoam has a density of 32kg/m³.

What is the maximum mass that can hang without sinking from a 50-cm diameter Styrofoam sphere in water

Answer: the required maximum mass is 63.3459 kg

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter d = 50 cm = 0.5 m

radius r = 0.5 / 2 = 0.25 m

Styrofoam density = 32kg/m³

Volume of sphere V = 4/3 πr³.

we substitute

V = 4/3 π(0.25)³

V = 0.06544 m³

Mass of sphere M = Volume × Density

we substitute

Mass of sphere M = 0.06544 m³ × 32kg/m³

Mass of Sphere M = 2.09408 kg

Mass of the water it displace will be;

volume × density

we know that density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Mass of the water it displace = 0.06544 m³ × 1000kg/m³

= 65.44 kg

Now the difference between mass of water and mass of the Styrofoam will be the amount of mass that the sphere can support

65.44 kg - 2.09408 kg = 63.3459 kg

Therefore, the required maximum mass is 63.3459 kg

A(n) ? is a premises wiring system whose power is derived from a source of electric energy or equipment other than a service. Su

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: Separately derived system

Explanation: A separately derived system is used to describe a premise wiring system whose power is derived from a source of electrical energy such as transformer, solar photovoltaic cell or generator. A separately derived system has no direct connection to any conductor from another system or doesn't generate it's power from any direct connection to a conductor from another system or source except those from established from bonding or grounding connections. Separately derived systems usually generate it's power on it's own.

A 2 L balloon filled with gas is warmed from 280 K to 700 K. What is the volume of the gas after it is heated?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

New volume, v2 = 0.8L

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Original Volume = 2L

Original Temperature = 280K

New Temperature = 700K

To find new volume V2, we would use Charles' law.

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

$VT = K$

$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$

Making V2 as the subject formula, we have;

$V_{2}= \frac{V1}{T1} * T_{2}$

$V_{2}= \frac{2}{700} * 280$

$V_{2}= 0.0029 * 280$

V2 = 0.8L

Therefore, the volume of the gas after it is heated is 0.8L.

A4) A straight wire that is 0.60 m long is carrying a current of 2.0 A. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.3

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

$\theta=30^{\circ}$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wire, L = 0.6 m

Current flowing inside the wire, I = 2 A

Uniform magnetic field, B = 0.3 T

Force experienced by the wire in the magnetic field, F = 0.18 N

To find,

The angle made by the wire with the magnetic field.

Solve,

We know that the magnetic force acting on the wire inside the magnetic field is given by :

$F=ILB\ sin\theta$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{F}{ILB}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{0.18}{2\times 0.6\times 0.3}$

$\theta=30^{\circ}$

Therefore, the wire makes an angle of 30 degrees with respect to magnetic field.

Complete the paragraph to compare Uranus and Neptune.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Uranus and Neptun are outer planets od the Solar system, since they are located after the asteroid belt. All of these outer planets are much larger then the inner ones so they are called the "ice giants". The other reason for this name is that they are very far from the Sun, so their temperature is low. Another feature they have in common is their atmosphere which is composed of gases, including methane, which is responsible for their blue color, since methane absorbs red light. However Neptune is known for very fast winds and storms in its atmosphere which is responsible for its high activity and changes.

So, the blanks should be filled with:

Sun

methane

Neptune

outer planets
