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

Pani-rosa [81]

<span>Answer: The moments of inertia are listed on p. 223, and a uniform cylinder through its center is: I = 1/2mr2 so I = 1/2(4.80 kg)(.0710 m)2 = 0.0120984 kgm2 Since there is a frictional torque of 1.20 Nm, we can use the angular equivalent of F = ma to find the angular deceleration: t = Ia -1.20 Nm = (0.0120984 kgm2)a a = -99.19 rad/s/s Now we have a kinematics question to solve: wo = (10,000 Revolutions/Minute)(2p radians/revolution)(1 minute/60 sec) = 1047.2 rad/s w = 0 a = -99.19 rad/s/s Let's find the time first: w = wo + at : wo = 1047.2 rad/s; w = 0 rad/s; a = -99.19 rad/s/s t = 10.558 s = 10.6 s And the displacement (Angular) Now the formula I want to use is only in the formula packet in its linear form, but it works just as well in angular form s = (u+v)t/2 Which is q = (wo+w)t/2 : wo = 1047.2 rad/s; w = 0 rad/s; t = 10.558 s q = (125.7 rad/s+418.9 rad/s)(3.5 s)/2 = 952.9 radians But the problem wanted revolutions, so let's change the units: q = (5528.075087 radians)(revolution/2p radians) = 880. revolutions</span>

A car driving down a hill contains many types of energy. DESCRIBE at least 3 types of energy the car has.

VikaD [51]

Once the car is on top of the hill it contains potential energy witch means it is storing enough energy to slide the hill until acted on. Once the car moves and slides down the hill it creates kinetic energy witch means it's in motion. The car then turns the kinetic energy into mechanical energy witch means it's working. I'm not sure if that helped but good luck!

Two coils, held in fixed positions, have a mutual inductance of M = 0.0034 H. The current in the first coil is I(t) = I0sin(ωt),

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

ε₂ =2.63 V

Explanation:

given,

M = 0.0034 H

I (t) = I₀ sin (ωt)

I (t) = 5.4 sin (143 t)

$\dfrac{d i(t)}{dt} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(5.4 sin (143 t))$

$\dfrac{d i(t)}{dt} =143 \times 5.4 cos (143 t)$

magnitude of the induced emf in the second coil

ε₂ = $M\dfrac{di}{dt}$

ε₂ = $0.0034\times 143 \times 5.4 cos (143 t)$

for maximum emf

cos (143 t) = 1

ε₂ = $0.0034\times 143 \times 5.4$

ε₂ =2.63 V

An enzyme works best at 98.6Â°f. the equation used to describe it requires the temperature to be in k. what is the correct tempe

Marina86 [1]

310.093k.

Given,

Best temperature for enzymes to work = 98.6°F

Unknown :

We need to convert the temperature from fahrenheit to kelvin.

Writing down the equation to be used in the problem's solution correctly:

K = (F x 0.55) + 255.37

F = (K - 255.37) x 1.8

The temperatures are expressed in kelvin (K) and fahrenheit (F), respectively.

There first equation would be significantly more quicker to use :

K = (98.6 x 0.555) + 255.37

= 54.723 + 255.37

= 310.093K

➤ The activity and rate of an enzyme reaction typically increase with temperature, while a decrease in temperature slows the enzymatic reaction. Each enzyme's activity peaks at its individual optimum temperature, and it decreases above and below that point.

What does the n stand for? Is it north?

Aleksandr [31]

That would be newton's. You'll be studying or have studied about newton's laws of physics. Both will help you. Hope this helps!
