Objects P and Q are placed in a bowl of water. P floats and Q sinks. Which one or more of the following can be deduced from this
1 answer:
The correct option that can be deduced for both Object P and Q is Option b) I and II only
To solve this question correctly, we need to understand the concept of density and it relation to mass and volume.
<h3>What is Density?</h3>Density is a physical property of an object and can be expressed by using the relation:
From the given parameters, we are being told that:
- P → floats
- Q → sinks
This implies that Q has a greater density that P. Since Q has a greater density than P, Q will be heavier since it will have greater mass.
However, Q will not be denser than water because if that happens, P will be have a greater density which is untrue in this scenario.
Therefore, we can conclude that:
- 1. Q is heavier than P
- II. 1cm³ of Q has a greater mass than 1cm³ of P

Answer:
The tension force in the supporting cables is 7245N
Explanation:
There are two forces acting on the elevator: the force of gravity pointing down (+) with magnitude (elevator mass) x (gravitational acceleration), and the tension force of the cable pointing up (-) with an unknown magnitude F. The net force is the sum of these forces:
We are given the resulting acceleration along with the mass, i.e., we know the net force, allowing us to solve for F:
The tension force F in the supporting cables is 7245N
Answer:
The initial acceleration of the 59g particle is
Explanation:
Newton's second laws relates acceleration (a), net force(F) and mass (m) in the next way:
(1)
We already know the mass of the particle so we should find the electric force on it to use on (1), the magnitude of the electric force between two charged objects by Columb's law is:
with q1 and q2 the charge of the particles, r the distance between them and k the constant . So:
Using that value on (1) and solving for a
Answer:
Explanation:
Time taken by stone to cover horizontal distance
where t is time, h is height of whirling the stone in horizontal circle, g is gravitational constant, Substituting h for 2.1 m and g for 9.81
= 0.654654 seconds
t=0.65 s
Velocity, v= distance/time
v=10/0.65= 15.27525 m/s
v=15.3 m/s
where r is radius of circle, substituting r with 1.1m
Therefore, centripetal acceleration is
