Answer:

Specific gravity for liquids is nearly always measured with respect to water at its densest

Explanation:

Archy [21]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Because of it being able to become a gas, a liquid, and solid, and because its used in lots of chemical experiments. (also because its easier to describe it than any other liquid)

Explanation:

1. Water is used in most Chemicals, therefore its being used as a reference material.

2. W

A cello string vibrates in its fundamental mode with a frequency of 335 1/s. The vibrating segment is 28.5 cm long and has a mas
Inga [223]

Answer:

The tension in string is found to be 188.06 N

Explanation:

For the vibrating string the fundamental frequency is given as:

f1 = v/2L

where,

f1 = fundamental frequency = 335 Hz

v = speed of wave

L = length of string = 28.5 cm = 0.285 m

Therefore,

v = f1 2L

v = (335 Hz)(2)(0.285)

v = 190.95 m/s

Now, for the tension:

v = √T/μ

v² = T/μ

T = v² μ

where,

T = Tension

v = speed = 190.95 m/s

μ = linear mass density of string = mass/L = 0.00147 kg/0.285 m = 5.15 x 10^-3 kg/m

Therefore,

T = (190.95 m/s)²(5.15 x 10^-3 kg/m)

<u>T = 188.06 N</u>

Why do astronomers use spectroscopes to analyze light from distant objects?
RoseWind [281]
Spectroscopy — the use of light from a distant object to work out the object is made of — could be the single-most powerful tool astronomers use, says Professor Fred Watson from the Australian Astronomical Observatory. ...

A square plate of copper with 55.0 cm sides has no net charge and is placed in a region of uniform electric field of 82.0 kN/C d
Alex73 [517]

Answer

given,

Side of copper plate, L = 55 cm

Electric field, E = 82 kN/C

a) Charge density,σ = ?

  using expression of charge density

 σ = E x ε₀

ε₀ is Permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²

now,

 σ = 82 x 10³ x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

 σ = 725.7 x 10⁻⁹ C/m²

 σ = 725.7 nC/m²

change density on the plates are 725.7 nC/m² and -725.7 nC/m²

b) Total change on each faces

   Q = σ  A

   Q = 725.7 x 10⁻⁹ x 0.55²

   Q = 219.52 nC

Hence, charges on the faces of the plate are 219.52 nC and -219.52 nC

You need to repair a gate on the farm. The gate weighs 100 kg and pivots as indicated. A small diagonal bar supports the gate an
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The force is  F = 3920 \ N

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

   From the question we are told that

          The weight of the gate is G  =  100\  kg

 

The vertical component of F is  F_y =  F\ sin  \theta

   From the diagram , taking moment about the pivot we have  

                W_g  * 2 - F_y  * 1 =  0

Where W_g  is the weight of the gate evaluated as

             W_g  =  m_g * g =  100 * 9.8 =  980 \ N

=>        980 * 2 - Fsin(30)  * 1 =  0

=>         F = \frac{1960}{sin(30)}

=>      F = 3920 \ N
