A rock has mass 1.80 kg. When the rock is suspended from the lower end of a string and totally immersed in water, the tension in

the string is 12.8 N. What is the smallest density of a liquid in which the rock will float?

Response:

3644.63 kg/m^3

Reasoning:

The mass of the rock is m = 1.80 kg

The weight of the rock when submerged in water is 12.8 N

The weight of the rock in water equals the weight in air minus the buoyant force from the water

The buoyant force in water can be calculated as 1.8 x 9.8 - 12.8 = 17.64 - 12.8 = 4.84 N

Volume multiplied by the density of water times g equals 4.84

V x 1000 x 9.8 = 4.84

Thus, V = 4.939 x 10^-4 m^3

For the rock to be able to float in a fluid

The buoyant force acting on the rock from the liquid should equal the weight of the rock

V x density of liquid x g = 1.80 x g

Therefore, the density of the liquid is 1.80 / (4.939 x 10^-4) = 3644.63 kg/m^3

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes the pendulum to swing back and forth once. If the only dimensional quantities that
serg [3582]

Clarification:

Let T signify the pendulum's period. The time's SI unit is seconds (s).

It is influenced by the length of the pendulum, l, and the gravitational acceleration, g.

The SI units for gravitational acceleration, g, and pendulum length, l, are m/s² and m, respectively.

Dividing m by m/s² produces s². Taking the square root of s² results in s, which is the SI unit for the pendulum's period.

Thus,

T\propto \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}

This concludes the solution we sought.

A block spring system oscillates on a frictionless surface with an amplitude of 10\text{ cm}10 cm and has an energy of 2.5 \text
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

The system's energy amounts to 15 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy E = 2.5 J

Amplitude = 10 cm

The spring constant needs to be computed.

Using the formula for the mechanical energy of the system,

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2

Substituting the values into the formula:

2.5=\dfrac{1}{2}k\times(10\times10^{-2})^2

k=\dfrac{2.5\times2}{(10\times10^{-2})^2}

k=500\ N/m

If the block is swapped out for one with double the original mass,

Amplitude = 6 cm

We need to find the energy

Using the mechanical energy formula,

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2

Substituting into the formula:

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times500\times(6\times10^{-2})

E=15\ J

Thus, the system’s energy is 15 J.

A proton (mass = 1.67 10–27 kg, charge = 1.60 10–19 C) moves from point A to point B under the influence of an electrostatic for
serg [3582]

Answer:

20.353125 V

Explanation:

m = Mass of proton = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

q = Charge of proton = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

v_A = Velocity of proton at point A = 50 km/s

v_B = Velocity of proton at point B = 80 km/s

The relationship derived from energy conservation is as follows:

\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_B^2-v_A^2)=q(V_B-V_A)\\\Rightarrow V_B-V_A=\dfrac{1}{2q}m(v_B^2-v_A^2)\\\Rightarrow V_B-V_A=\dfrac{1}{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}(80000^2-50000^2)\\\Rightarrow V_B-V_A=20.353125\ V

The determined potential difference is 20.353125 V

A team of engineering students is testing their newly designed raft in the pool where the diving team practices.
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

Lower than

Explanation:

When the cube is placed on the raft, the displaced water equals the combined weight of both the cube and raft. In contrast, when submerged in water, the displaced water corresponds to the raft's weight plus the cube's volume. Since the cube's volume is smaller than what is needed to displace its weight with water, the water level is lower.

The electric field must be zero inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium, but not inside an insulator. It turns out that
serg [3582]

Response:

Reasoning:

We will utilize a Gaussian surface that resembles the curved wall of a cylinder, with a radius of 3mm and a length of 1 unit directed parallel to the wire axis.

The charge within this cylinder amounts to 250 x 10⁻⁹ C.

Let E denote the electric field at the curved surface, perpendicular to it.

The total electric flux leaving the curved surface

is calculated as 2π r x 1 x E

or 2 x 3.14 x 3 x 10⁻³ E

According to Gauss's law, the total flux is given by the charge within divided by ε (the charge inside the cylinder being 250 x 10⁻⁹C)

equals 250 x 10⁻⁹ / 2.5 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²   (where ε = 2.5 ε₀ = 2.5 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²)

resulting in 11.3 x 10³ weber.

Thus,

2 x 3.14 x 3 x 10⁻³ E = 11.3 x 10³

E =  11.3 x 10³ /  2 x 3.14 x 3 x 10⁻³

=.599 x 10⁶ N /C.
