Only the object having density less than water float, why?

Answer:

The way that objects float is that at any depth in a fluid there is an upward force due to the effect of gravity on the fluid. ... If the density is less than that of the fluid, the object will float upward due to the buoyancy from the fluid.

Why must objects be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance?

zubka84 [21]

Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

$\beta = 41.68°$

Explanation:

according to snell's law

$\frac{n_w}{n_g} = \frac{sin\alpha}{sin30 }$

refractive index of water n_w is 1.33

refractive index of glass n_g is 1.5

$sin\alpha = \frac{n_w}{n_g}* sin30$

$sin\alpha = 0.443$

now applying snell's law between air and glass, so we have

$\frac{n_g}{n_a} = \frac{sin\alpha}{sin\beta}$

$sin\beta = \frac{n_g}{n_a} sin\alpha$

$\beta = sin^{-1} [\frac{n_g}{n_a}*sin\alpha]$

we know that $sin\alpha = 0.443$

$\beta = 41.68°$

Many web sites describe how to add wires to your clothing to keep you warm while riding your motorcycle. The wires are added to

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

$P=42.075W$

Explanation:

The power provided by a resistor (wire in this case) is given by:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$ .

The resistance of a wire is given by:

$R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$

Where for the resistivity the one of the copper should be used: $\rho=1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m$ .

The area A is that of a circle, which written in terms of its diameter is:

$A=\pi r^2=\pi (d/2)^2=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Putting all together:

$P=\frac{AV^2}{\rho L}=\frac{\pi d^2V^2}{4\rho L}$

Which for our values is:

$P=\frac{\pi (0.00025m)^2(12V)^2}{4(1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m)(10m)}=42.075W$

A spring with spring constant 15.5 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is suspended from the spring and allowed to come to rest.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

A) 138.8g

B)73.97 cm/s

Explanation:

K = 15.5 Kn/m

A = 7 cm

N = 37 oscillations

tn = 20 seconds

A) In harmonic motion, we know that;

ω² = k/m and m = k/ω²

Also, angular frequency (ω) = 2π/T

Now, T is the time it takes to complete one oscillation.

So from the question, we can calculate T as;

T = 22/37.

Thus ;

ω = 2π/(22/37) = 10.5672

So,mass of ball (m) = k/ω² = 15.5/10.5672² = 0.1388kg or 138.8g

B) In simple harmonic motion, velocity is given as;

v(t) = vmax Sin (ωt + Φ)

It is from the derivative of;

v(t) = -Aω Sin (ωt + Φ)

So comparing the two equations of v(t), we can see that ;

vmax = Aω

Vmax = 7 x 10.5672 = 73.97 cm/s
