Question 2 (1 point)

In a digital multimeter, what changes inside the meter when you push the button to change from 200v range to the 20v range? by w

charle [14.2K]

So we want to know what changes inside the multimeter when we change the voltage range from 200 V to 20 V, by what factor and does it increase or decrease. What we want when trying to measure the voltage with a multimeter is that a minimal current passes trough the mulitmeter so when we change the voltage range, we decrease the resistance by a factor of 10 because the voltage is decreased by a factor of 10.

You are trying to determine the specific gravity of a solid object that floats in water. If m is the mass of your object, mS is

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Specific Gravity = m/[m(s)-m(os)]

Explanation:

Specific gravity, also called relative density, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance. By this definition we need to find out the ratio of density of the object of mass m to the density of the surrounding liquid.

m = mass of the object

Weight in air

W (air) = mg, where g is the gravitational acceleration

Weight with submerged with only one mass

m(s)g + Fb = mg + m(b)g, consider this to be equation 1

where Fb is the buoyancy force

Weight with submerged with both masses

m(os)g + Fb’ = mg + m(b)g, consider this to be equation 2

equation 1 – equation 2 would give us

m(s)g – m(os)g = Fb’ – Fb

where Fb = D x V x g, where D is the density of the liquid the object is submerged in, g is the force of gravity and V is the submerged volume of the object

m(s)g – m(os)g = D(l) x V x g

m(s) – m(os) = D(l) x V

we know that Mass = Density x V, which in our case would be, D(b) x V, which also means

V = Mass/D(b), where D(b) is the density of the mass

Substituting V into the above equation we get

m(s) – m(os) = [D(l) x m)/ D(b)]

Rearranging to get the ratio of density of object to the density of liquid

D(b)/D(l) = m/[m(s)-m(os)], where D(b)/D(l) denotes the specific gravity

Which is not expecting acceleration?

Elena L [17]

#1

A point on the outside of a spinning top whose rotational speed is constant.

Since the point at the top is at rest so it will not accelerate at all

A skydiver whose air resistance is equal to that of her weight.

Since weight is counter balanced by air resistance so net force on it is zero so acceleration will be zero

A car on the freeway experiencing a net force of -120 N.

Since net force is not zero so it will accelerate here

A submerged beach ball whose buoyant force is eight times the force of gravity on it.

Since buoyant force is more than the weight so it will not at rest and move upwards with some acceleration

#2

A frictionless spinning merry go round.

Since spinning wheel accelerating due to centripetal force so it is non inertial frame

A falling rock.

Falling rock is accelerating due to gravity so it is again non inertial frame

A hot air balloon moving at 30 degrees east of north with no net force.

since hot air balloon is having no force on it so its acceleration is zero and its an inertial frame

A space shuttle whose boosters just ignited for takeoff.

Since space shuttle is accelerating due to boosters so it is non inertial frame

#3

Here net force on it is due to two given forces

$F_1 = 4320 N$ towards right

$F_2 = 4380 N$ towards left

so here net force is given as

$F = F_2 - F_1$

$F = 4380 - 4320 = 60 N$

since force towards left is more so the direction will be towards left

so correct answer is 60 N towards left
