A hydrometer is an instrument used to determine liquid density. A simple one is sketched in the figure below. The bulb of a syri

nge is squeezed and released to lift a sample of the liquid of interest into a tube containing a calibrated rod of known density. (Assume the rod is cylindrical.) The rod, of length L and average density 0, floats partially immersed in the liquid of density . A length h of the rod protrudes above the surface of the liquid. Show that the density of the liquid is given by
=
0L
L − h
.

Answer:

weight of rod =weight of liquid displaced

mass of the rod ×g =mass of liquid displaced ×g

(g cancelled out)

mass of the rod =mass of liquid displaced

density of rod ×volume of rod =density of liqiud ×volume of liquid displaced

O×cross section area of rod ×height of rod =density of liquid ×Cross section area of rod ×height of rod under the surface

O×L=density of liquid ×(L-h)

then density of liquid =OL/(L-h) shown as required

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer is the highest temperature, so D

Higher temperatures allow for sound to move faster, since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. The speed of sound in room temperature air is 346 meters per second. This is faster than 331 meters per second, which is the speed of sound in air at freezing temperatures.

Neat little fact: This is also why in the winter when there is snow on the ground, it seems more peaceful and quite. The snow absorbs the sound waves and the temperature makes them not travel as fast, getting more quite as they go.

A current-carrying wire oriented north-south and laid over a compass deflects the compass 8° to the east. What is the magnitude
zhenek [66]

2.8 \times 10^{-6}\ T is the magnitude of the magnetic field made by the current

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given data:

\theta=8^{\circ}

Magnetic field of earth, B_{\text {earth}}=2 \times 10^{-5}\ \text {tesla}

We need to find the magnetic field of wire, B_{\text {wire }}

The compass needle moves toward a direction of magnetic field. The current in wire makes a magnetic field in available space where the compass is on the ground. The vector sum of the Earth's magnetic field and the wire's magnetic field represents the net magnetic field, as shown in the attached drawing, expressing the angle:

                   \tan \theta=\frac{B_{\text {wire}}}{B_{\text {earth}}}

By substituting the given values, we get

                  B_{\text {wire}}=\tan \theta \times B_{\text {earth}}=\tan 8^{\circ} \times 2 \times 10^{-5}=0.1405 \times 2 \times 10^{-5}

                  B_{\text {wire}}=0.28 \times 10^{-5}=2.8 \times 10^{-6}\ T

when you drop a pebble from height h, it reaches the ground with kinetic energy k if there is no air resistance. from what heigh
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

From the initial height h

Explanation:

When a material or substance is drop from a height h, it possesses potential energy, immediately it is dropped from that height, the potential energy is gradually converted to kinetic energy, it gets to a point where the potential energy equals the kinetic energy, as the material touches the ground, all potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy already

Astronauts often undergo special training in which they are subjected to extremely high centripetal accelerations. One device ha
egoroff_w [7]

The centripetal acceleration of an object is given by the relation,

Ac =V^2/R

where Ac = centripetal acceleration = 98 m/s^2

R = radius of rotation = 15 m

V = speed of astronaut

Hence, \frac{V^2}{15} =98

solving this we get, V = 38.34 m/s

Nickel has a face-centered cubic structure and has a density of 8.90 g/cm3. what is its atomic radius?
vitfil [10]
Density = (mass/volume) 

<span>Mass = # atoms (in unit cell) x (mol / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms) x (58.69 g/mol) </span>
<span>The last number is the atomic mass of nickel </span>

<span>The number of atoms = 8(1/8) + 6(1/2) = 4 

</span>The volume (of the entire unit cell) = side^3 = (r x 8^(1/2))^3 

<span>6.84 g/cm3 = [4 atoms x (mol / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms) x (58.69 g/mol)] / [r x 8^(1/2)]^3 
</span>
<span> r = 1.36 x 10^-8 cm</span>
