(i) The density of the solid is 950 kg/m³

(ii) the density of another liquid in which the same solid would float is 200 kg/m³

The given parameters;

mass of the solid in air, Ma = 237.5 g

mass of the solid in liquid, Ms = 12.5 g

density of the liquid, \rho_l = 900 \ kg/m^3

(i) The density of the solid is calculated as follows;

Weight in air - Weight in liquid = upthrust

\frac{\rho_o}{\rho_l}  = \frac{Ma}{M_a - Ms} \\\\\frac{\rho_o}{900}  = \frac{237.5}{237.5 - 12.5}\\\\\frac{\rho_o}{900}  =1.0556\\\\\rho_o = 1.0556 \times 900\\\\\rho_o = 950 \ kg/m^3

(ii) the density of another liquid in which the same solid would float with one-fifth of its volume exposed above the liquid surface.​

This is a low density liquid, because one-fifth of the solid is above the liquid surface while four-fifth is below the liquid surface.

the specific gravity of the liquid = ¹/₅ = 0.2

density of water , \rho_w = 1000 \ kg/m^3

S.G = \frac{\rho_l}{\rho_w} \\\\0.2 = \frac{\rho_l}{1000} \\\\\rho_l = 0.2 \times 1000\\\\\rho_l = 200 \ kg/m^3

Thus, the density of another liquid in which the same solid would float is 200 kg/m³

during conversion water to ice,forces of attraction between molecules. OPTIONS:1.)Decreases 2.)Increases 3.)Does not change 4.)C
In-s [12.5K]

because water is loosely packed but when it is cold it becomes closely packed in order to form ice and thus the force attraction between them also increase.

Many battery-powered devices come with cords that allow them to be
lara [203]

Answer:

The change that has to take place inside the power cord in order for the device to function properly include;

The changing of the alternating current (AC) from the electrical outlet to the direct current having a specific voltage and current value with which the device can be powered

Explanation:

A battery powered device makes use of direct current (DC) electric power from a battery, while the power normally given out at an electrical outlet comes as an alternating current (AC) electric power source.

The power cord for battery-powered device, also known as an AC/DC adapter, that allows them to be plugged into electrical outlets converts the AC electric current it obtains from the electrical outlets to DC electrical current of the appropriate voltage and amperage that the device can make use of for electric power to function and for charging the battery which is the power source for the device

Therefore, the change that has to take place in the power cord is the conversion of the electric outlet alternating current (AC) voltage and amperage values, into direct current (DC) of the required voltage and current for the device

You are riding in an elevator on the way to the
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

F = 104.832 N

Explanation:

given,

upward acceleration of the lift = 1.90 m/s²

mass of box containing new computer = 28 kg.

coefficient of friction = 0.32

magnitude of force = ?

box is moving at constant speed hence acceleration will be zero.

Now force acting due to lift moving upward =

               F = μ m ( g + a )

               F = 0.32 × 28 × ( 9.8 + 1.9 )

              F = 104.832 N

hence, the force applied should be equal to 104.832 N
