Answer:

The density of Saturn is 686.81 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Mass of Saturn, $m=5.68\times 10^{26}\ kg$

Volume of Saturn, $V=8.27\times 10^{23}\ m^3$

Density of Saturn is given by its mass divided by its volume i.e.

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}$

$d=\dfrac{5.68\times 10^{26}}{8.27\times 10^{23}}$

$d=686.81\ kg/m^3$

So, the density of Saturn is 686.81 kg/m³.

The density of water is 1000 kg/m³. It is clear that the density of Saturn is less than water.

When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not n

Anarel [89]

Answer:

True, because unlike the apple we don't have a large as$ refrence point (the earth is too big to notice being pushed)

A single strain gage has a nominal resistance of 120 ohm. For a quarter bridge with 120 ohm fixed resistors, strain gauge factor

natita [175]

Answer:

Output voltage is 1.507 mV

Solution:

As per the question:

Nominal resistance, R = $120\Omega$

Fixed resistance, R = $120\Omega$

Gauge Factor, G.F = 2.01

Supply Voltage, $V_{s} = 3\ V$

Strain, $\epsilon = 1000\times 10^{-6}\ strain$

Now,

To calculate the output voltage, $V_{o}$ :

WE know that strain is given by:

$\epsilon = \frac{(R + R')^{2}V_{o}}{RR'V_{s}\times G.F}$

Thus

$V_{o} = \frac{RR'V_{s}\epsilon \times G.F}{(R + R')^{2}}$

Now, substituting the suitable values in the above eqn:

$V_{o} = \frac{120\times 120\times 3\times 1000\times 10^{-6}\times 2.01}{(120 + 120)^{2}}$

$V_{o} = 1.507\ mV$

an ice sheet 5m thick covers a lake that is 20m deep. at what is the temperature of the water at the bottom of the lake?

muminat

Answer:

4°C

Explanation:

Water is densest at 4°C. Since dense water sinks, the bottom of the lake will be 4°C.

An 888.0 kg elevator is moving downward with a velocity of 0.800 m/s. It decelerates uniformly and comes to a stop in a distance

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The value of tension on the cable T = 1065.6 N

Explanation:

Mass = 888 kg

Initial velocity ( u )= 0.8 $\frac{m}{sec}$

Final velocity ( V ) = 0

Distance traveled before come to rest = 0.2667 m

Now use third law of motion $V^{2}$ = $u^{2}$ - 2 a s

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ 0 = $0.8^{2}$ - 2 × a ×0.2667

⇒ a = 1.2 $\frac{m}{sec^{2} }$

This is the deceleration of the box.

Tension in the cable is given by T = F = m × a

Put all the values in above formula we get,

T = 888 × 1.2

T = 1065.6 N

This is the value of tension on the cable.
