A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead sinker is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the

wood in air and the lead sinker submerged in water is 0.0765 kg. The apparent mass with both the wood and the sinker both submerged in water is 0.0452 kg. What is the SG of the wood

Answer:

The specific gravity of the wood is 1.56

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the wood in water, M_w_{H_2O} = 0.0175 kg

apparent mass of the wood and lead sinker submerged in water, M_w_{(air)} + M_s_{H_2O} = 0.0765 kg

apparent mass with both the wood and the sinker both submerged in water, M_w_{H_2O}  + M_s_{H_2O} = 0.0452 \ kg

Mass of the lead sinker alone submerged in water;

M_w_{H_2O} + M_s_{H_2O} = 0.0452 \ kg\\\\0.0175 \ kg + M_s_{H_2O} = 0.0452 \ kg\\\\M_s_{H_2O} = 0.0452 \ kg - 0.0175 \ kg\\\\M_s_{H_2O} = 0.0277 \ kg

Mass of the wood in the air;

M_w_{(air)} + M_s_{H_2O} = 0.0765 \ kg\\\\M_w_{(air)}  + 0.0277 \ kg = 0.0765 \ kg\\\\M_w_{(air)}  = 0.0765 \ kg - 0.0277 \ kg\\\\M_w_{(air)}  = 0.0488 \ kg

Mass of water is calculated as follows;

M_w_{(air)} - M_w_{H_2O} = M_{H_2O}\\\\0.0488 \ kg - 0.0175 \ kg = M_{H_2O}\\\\0.0313 \ kg = M_{H_2O}

The specific gravity of the wood is calculated as follows;

Specific \ gravity\  (S.G) \ of \ wood = \frac{mass \ of \ wood\ in \ air }{mass \ of \  water} \\\\Specific \ gravity\  (S.G) \ of \ wood = \frac{0.0488}{0.0313} \\\\Specific \ gravity\  (S.G) \ of \ wood = 1.559 = 1.56

Therefore, the specific gravity of the wood is 1.56

One end of a metal rod is in contact with a thermal reservoir at 745. K, and the other end is in contact with a thermal reservoi
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

a)S_1=-9.65}\ J/K

b)S_2=71.18\ J/K

c) 0 J/K

d)S= 61.53 J/K

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 745 K

T₂ = 101 K

Q= 7190 J

a)

The entropy change of reservoir 745 K

S_1=-\dfrac{7190}{745}\ J/K

Negative sign because heat is leaving.

S_1=-9.65}\ J/K

b)

The entropy change of reservoir 101 K

S_2=\dfrac{7190}{101}\ J/K

S_2=71.18\ J/K

c)

The entropy change of the rod will be zero.

d)

The entropy change of the system

S= S₁ + S₂

S = 71.18 - 9.65 J/K

S= 61.53 J/K

The kinetic energy of a rocket is increased by a factor of eight after its engines are fired, whereas its total mass is reduced
Rudik [331]

The momentum increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by rewriting the momentum of the rocket in terms of the kinetic energy and the mass.

The kinetic energy of the rocket is:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 (1)

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

The momentum of the rocket is

p=mv (2)

From eq.(1) we get

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}

and substituting into (2),

p=\sqrt{2mK}

Now in this problem we have:

- The kinetic energy of the rocket is increased by a factor 8:

K' = 8K

- The mass is reduced by half:

m'=\frac{m}{2}

Substituting, we find the new momentum:

p'=\sqrt{2(\frac{m}{2}(8K)}=\sqrt{4(2mK)}=2\sqrt{2mK}=2p

So, the momentum increases by a factor of 2.
