A cork is held at the bottom of a bucket of water by a piece of string. The actual depth of the cork is 0.6 m below the surface

of the water. The density of water is ρ = 1000 kg/m3 and the acceleration of gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2 . 0.6 m If the density of the cork is 150 kg/m3 and the volume of the cork is 2 cm3, then what is the tension in the string?

Answer:

tension on the string will be 0.0167 N

Explanation:

ρ = 1000 kg/m³

density of the cork = 150 kg/m³

volume of the cork = 2 cm³

tension on cork (T) will be acting in down ward direction.

buoyant force (Fₙ) will act in upward direction.

and weight (W) will act in downward direction.

T = Fₙ - W

$T= \rho Vg- mg\\T=\rho V_{cork} g - \rho_{cork} V_{cork}g\\T=1000\times 2\times 10^{-6}\times 9.81 - 150\times 2\times 10^{-6}\times 9.81\\ T= 0.0167 N$

hence tension on the string will be 0.0167 N

Show that rigid body rotation near the Galactic center is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant

irakobra [83]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to gravitational acceleration and centripetal acceleration. The equality between these two forces that maintains the balance will allow to determine how the rigid body is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant density. Let's start with the gravitational acceleration of the Star, which is

$a_g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

Here

$M = \text{Mass inside the Orbit of the star}$

$R = \text{Orbital radius}$

$G = \text{Universal Gravitational Constant}$

Mass inside the orbit in terms of Volume and Density is

$M =V \rho$

Where,

V = Volume

$\rho =$ Density

Now considering the volume of the star as a Sphere we have

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$

Replacing at the previous equation we have,

$M = (\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)\rho$

Now replacing the mass at the gravitational acceleration formula we have that

$a_g = \frac{G}{R^2}(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)\rho$

$a_g = \frac{4}{3} G\pi R\rho$

For a rotating star, the centripetal acceleration is caused by this gravitational acceleration. So centripetal acceleration of the star is

$a_c = \frac{4}{3} G\pi R\rho$

At the same time the general expression for the centripetal acceleration is

$a_c = \frac{\Theta^2}{R}$

Where $\Theta$ is the orbital velocity

Using this expression in the left hand side of the equation we have that

$\frac{\Theta^2}{R} = \frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho R^2$

$\Theta = (\frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho R^2)^{1/2}$

$\Theta = (\frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho)^{1/2}R$

Considering the constant values we have that

$\Theta = \text{Constant} \times R$

$\Theta \propto R$

As the orbital velocity is proportional to the orbital radius, it shows the rigid body rotation of stars near the galactic center.

So the rigid-body rotation near the galactic center is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant density

Determine the binding energy per nucleon of an mg-24 nucleus. the mg-24 nucleus has a mass of 24.30506. a proton has a mass of 1

My name is Ann [436]

The mass of Mg-24 is 24.30506 amu, it contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons.

Theoretical mass of Mg-24:

The theoretical mass of Mg-24 is:

Hydrogen atom mass = 12 × 1.00728 amu = 12.0874 amu

Neutron mass = 12 x 1.008665 amu = 12.104 amu

Theoretical mass = Hydrogen atom mass + Neutron mass = 24.1913 amu

Note that the mass defect is:

Mass defect = Actual mass - Theoretical mass : 24.30506 amu- 24.1913 amu= 0.11376 amu

Calculating the binding energy per nucleon:

$\frac{B.E.}{nucleon}=\frac{(0.11376amu)(931Mev/amu}{24nucleons} = 4.41294 Mev/nucleon$

So approximately 4.41294 Mev/necleon

Mario rdoll a coin up a slope at 2 m/s. It travels 2.7 m, comes to a stop and rolls back down. What is the coin's acceleration?

leva [86]

The coin's acceleration is <u>0.37 m/s²</u>

Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an item with appreciation to time. Accelerations are vector portions. The orientation of an item's acceleration is given by the orientation of the net pressure appearing on that object.

<u>Calculation:-</u>

<u />

V² = U -2aS

a = U/2S

= 2/2×2.7

= <u>0.37 m/s²</u>

Acceleration is the charge at which velocity modifications with time, in terms of each speed and route. A factor or an object moving in a straight line is accelerated if it quickens or slows down. movement on a circle is extended despite the fact that the rate is consistent because the course is continually changing.
