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

The power in an electric circuit varies inversely with the resistance. If the power is 2,200 watts when the resistance is 25 ohm
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The value of resistance when power is 1100 watts = R_{2} = 50 ohms

Explanation:

Power P_{1} = 2200 Watts

Resistance R_{1} = 25 ohms

Power P_{2} = 1100 Watts

Resistance R_{2} = we have to calculate

Given that the power in an electric circuit varies inversely with the resistance

⇒ P ∝ \frac{1}{R}

⇒ \frac{P_{2} }{P_{1} } = \frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }

⇒ \frac{1100}{2200} = \frac{25}{R_{2} }

⇒ R_{2} = 50 ohms

This is the value of resistance when power is 1100 watts.

A bus is traveling with a uniform acceleration of 2.75 meters/second2. If the initial velocity of the bus is 16.5 meters/second,
Kaylis [27]
<span>The velocity will be 41.25 m/s2 after 9 seconds. To find velocity after a specific time period, multiply the acceleration (2.75) times the number of seconds (9) to receive 24.75 m/s, then add that to the initial velocity of 16.5 m/s. 24.75 + 16.5 = 41.25 m/s2.</span>
