Answer:

The density of the wood is

ρ₂ = 1.21 g / cm³

Explanation:

The block measures

V₁ = 10.0 cm * 4.0 cm * 2.0 cm

V₁ = 80 cm³

Now the block measures under the water getting just the face below as 1.65 cm

V₂ = 10.0 cm * 4.0 cm * 1.65 cm

V₂ = 66 cm³

So to determine the density knowing the mass are the same as the weight

ρ₁ * V₁ = ρ₂ * V₂

Using the density of the water as a

ρ₁ = 1 g / cm ³

1 g / cm³ * 80 cm ³ = ρ₂ * 66 cm³

ρ₂ = 1.21 g / cm³

A carnival game consists of a two masses on a curved frictionless track, as pictured below. The player pushes the larger object
Harman [31]

Answer:

v₁₀ = 1.90 m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are given the maximum height data, with energy we can know how fast the body came out

Final mechanical energy, maximum height

    Em_{f} = U = m g h

Initial mechanical energy, in the lower part of the track

    Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

    Em=   Em_{f}

    ½ m v² = m g h

    v = √ 2gh

Now we can use the moment to find the speed with which objects collide

The large object has a mass M = 5.41 kg a velocity starts v₁₀, the small object has a mass m = 1.68 kg an initial velocity of zero v₂₀ = 0 and  final velocity v

Initial before the crash

    p₀ = M v₁₀ + 0

Final after the crash

      p_{f} = M v1f + m v

   p₀ =   p_{f}

   M v₁₀ = M v_{1f}+ m v

As the shock is elastic the kinetic energy is conserved

     K₀ = K_{f}

    ½ M v₁₀² = ½ M v_{1f}² + ½ m v²

Let's write the system of equations

    M v₁₀ = M  v_{1f} + m v

    M v1₁₀² = M v_{1f}² + m v²

We cleared v1f in the first we replaced in the second

   v_{1f} = (M v₁₀ - mv) / M

    M v₁₀² = M (M v₁₀ - mv)² / M² + m v²

    M v₁₀² = 1 / M (M² v₁₀² - 2mM v v₁₀ + m² v²) +m v²

     v₁₀² (M - M) + 2 m v v₁₀ - v² (m2 + m) / M = 0

     2 m v₁₀ - v (m + 1) m/ M = 0

     v₁₀ = v (m +1) / (2M)

Let's substitute the value of v

     v1₁₀= √ (2gh) (m +1) / (2M)

Let's calculate

    v₁₀ = √ (2 9.8 3) (1+ 1.68) / (2  5.41)

    V₁₀ = 7.668 (2.68) / 10.82

   v₁₀ = 1.90 m / s

The average distance between collisions for atoms in a real gas is known as the mean free path (see pp. 298-9 in McKay). Which o
dusya [7]

Answer:

300 nm

Explanation:

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/molK

r = Atomic radii = 1\times 10^{-10}\ m

d = Atomic diameter = 2r=2\times 10^{-10}\ m

At STP

T = Temperature = 273.15 K

P = Pressure = 100 kPa

N_A = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{23}

The mean free path is given by

\lambda=\frac{RT}{\sqrt2d^2N_AP}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{8.314\times 273.15}{\sqrt2 \pi \times (2\times 10^{-10})^2\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 100000}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2.12165\times 10^{-7}\ m=212.165\times 10^{-9}\ m=212.165\ nm

The answer that best represents the mean free path for gas molecules is 300 nm

In the example given below, Aaron applies a force of 300N and Bob applies a force of 450N :
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem is all about torque. The "rules" are that in order for a system to be in rotational equilibrium, the sum of the torques on the system have to equal 0 (in other words, they have to equal each other {cancel each other out}). The equation for torque is

τ = F⊥r where τ is torque, F⊥ is the perpendicular force, and r is the lever arm length in meters. We also have to understand that in general Forces moving clockwise are negative and Forces moving counterclockwise are positive. Now we're ready for the problem:

A. The counterclockwise torque:

τ = 300(3) so

τ = 900N*m

B. The clockwise torque:

τ = -450(2.5) so

τ = -1100N*m

C. Obviously the system is not in roational equilibrium because one side is experiencing a greater torque than the other. This system will move clockwise as it currently exists.

D. In order for the system to be in rotational equilibrium, we have to move Bob's location from the fulcrum. Let's see to where.

The torques have to be the same on both sides of the fulcrum; mathematically, that looks like this:

F⊥r = F⊥r  Filling in:

300(3) = 450r and

900 = 450r so

2 = r. This means that Bob will have to move closer to the fulcrum by a half of a meter to 2 meters from the fulcrum in order for the system to be in balance.

Isn't this so much fun?!
