Answer:
B. mineral oil – density of 0.910 g/mL.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the density is known as the degree of compactness a body has (mass in the occupied volume), the higher the density, the higher the weight of the body, therefore, if submerged into a liquid it could float if less dense than the liquid or sink if more dense than the liquid.
In such a way, since the rubber is more dense than mineral (0.960 g/mL > 0.910 g/mL) oil but less dense than distilled water (0.960 g/mL < 1.0 g/mL) we can say that B. mineral oil – density of 0.910 g/mL is directly above it when submerged.
Best regards.
A speeding car has a velocity of 80 mph; suddenly it passes a cop car but does not stop. When the speeding car passes the cop car, the cop immediately accelerates his vehicle from 0 to 90 mph in 4.5 seconds. The cop car has a maximum velocity of 90 mph. At what time does the cop car meet the speeding car and at what distance?
Answer:
Distance= 4 miles
Time = 36.3 seconds
Explanation:
80 mph = 178.95 m/s
90 mph = 201.32 m/s
V = u +at
201.32= 0+a(4.5)
201.32/4.5= a
44.738 m/s² = a
Acceleration of the cop car
= 44.738 m/s²
Distance traveled at 4.5seconds
For the cop car
S= ut + ½at²
S= 0(4.5) + ½*44.738*4.5
S= 100.66 meters
Distance traveled at 4.5seconds
For the speeding car
4.5*178.95=805.275
The cop car will still cover 704.675 +x distance while the speeding car covers for their distance to be equal
X/178.95= (704.675+x)/201.32
X-0.89x= 626.37
0.11x= 626.37
X= 5694.3 meters
The time = 5694.3/178.95
Time =31.8 seconds
So the distance they meet
= 5694.3+805.275
= 6499.575 meters
= 4.0 miles
The Time = 4.5+31.8
Time = 36.3 seconds

Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are a class of waves that do not require material medium for their propagation, and travel at the same speed. They are arranged with respect to either their decreasing wavelength or increasing frequency to form a spectrum called an electromagnetic spectrum.
Comparing the energy, frequency and wavelength of ultraviolet, infrared and visible regions, it can be deduced that:
1. Energy: ultraviolet has the highest energy, then followed by visible, and infrared has the lowest energy.
i.e energy: ultraviolet>> visible> infrared
2. Frequency: ultraviolet radiation has the highest frequency, visible region has a greater frequency than that of infrared.
i.e frequency: ultraviolet>> visible > infrared
3. Wavelength: infrared radiation has the highest wavelength, followed by visible region, and ultraviolet radiation has the lowest wavelength.
i.e wavelength: infrared >> visible > ultraviolet
In terms of lowest to the highest energy,frequency, and wavelength is;
Energy: infrared > visible light > ultraviolet
Frequency: infrared > visible light > ultraviolet
Wavelength: ultraviolet > visible light > infrared
The electromagnetic spectrum:

If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, how many counts per second would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample?
Answer:
6000 counts per secondExplanation:
If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, then;
2000 counts per second = 1 meter ... 1
In order to know the number of counts per second that would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample, we will have;
x count per second = 3 meter ... 2
Solving the two expressions simultaneously for x we will have;
2000 counts per second = 1 meter
x counts per second = 3 meter
Cross multiply to get x
2000 * 3 = 1* x
6000 = x
This shows that 6000 counts per second would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample
A resistance heater having 20.7 kW power is used to heat a room having 16 m X 16.5 m X 12.3 m size from 13.5 to 21 oC at sea level. The room is sealed once the heater is turned on. Calculate the amount of time needed for this heating to occur in min. (Write your answer in 3 significant digits. Assume constant specific heats at room temperature.)
Answer:
t = 23.6 min
Explanation:
First we need to find the mass of air in the room:
m = ρV
where,
m = mass of air in the room = ?
ρ = density of air at room temperature = 1.2041 kg/m³
V = Volume of room = 16 m x 16.5 m x 12.3 m = 3247.2 m³
Therefore,
m = (1.2041 kg/m³)(3247.2 m³)
m = 3909.95 kg
Now, we find the amount of energy consumed to heat the room:
E = m C ΔT
where,
E = Energy consumed = ?
C = Specific Heat of air at room temperature = 1 KJ/kg.⁰C
ΔT = Change in temperature = 21 °C - 13.5 °C = 7.5 °C
Therefore,
E = (3909.95 kg)(1 KJ/kg.°C)(7.5 °C)
E = 29324.62 KJ
Now, the time period can be calculated as:
P = E/t
t = E/P
where,
t = Time needed = ?
P = Power of heater = 20.7 KW
Therefore,
t = 29324.62 KJ/20.7 KW
t = (1416.65 s)(1 min/60 s)
t = 23.6 min

Required:
Calculate the electric energy dissipated in this process.
Answer:
Explanation:
change in magnetic flux = .16 x .16 x .510 - 0
= .013056 weber .
rate of change of flux = change in flux / time
= .013056 / 40.5 x 10⁻³
= .32237
voltage induced = .32237 V
electrical energy dissipated = v² / R where v is voltage , R is resistance

Water pressurized to 3.5 x 105 Pa is flowing at 5.0 m/s in a horizontal pipe which contracts to 1/2 its former radius. a. What are the pressure and velocity of the water after the contraction
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the Continuity equation
v X A = v' xA'
so if A is 1/2of A' then A velocity must be 2 times the A'
after-contraction v = 2 x 5.0m/s = 10m/s
Using the Bernoulli equation
p₁ + ½ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = p₂ + ½ρv₂² + ρgh₂
, the "h" terms cancel
3.5 x 10^ 5Pa + ½ x 1000kg/m³x (5.0m/s)² = p₂ + ½ x 1000kg/m³ x (10m/s)²
p₂ = 342500pa

The Curiosity rover now on Mars analyzed rocks and found magnesium to have the following isotopic composition.
79.70% Mg-24 (23.9872 amu), 10.13% Mg-25 (24.9886 amu), and 10.17% Mg-26 (25.9846 amu).
A. How many neutrons are in Mg-25?
B. What is the average atomic mass of magnesium in these rocks?
C. Is the magnesium composition on Mars the same as that on Earth? Explain.
Answer:
A. number of neutrons of Magnesium Mg = 13
B. The average mass of Mg = 22.29 amu
C. the magnesium composition on Mars is not the same as that on Earth.
Explanation:
Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number but different mass number. This is due to the difference in mass of the neutrons.
The atomic number of Magnesium Mg = 12
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons present in the atomic nucleus of the element
i.e Atomic number = number of protons = 12
The mass number of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus of the element.
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Given that the mass number of Mg = 25
Then;
25 = 12 + number of neutrons
25 - 12 = number of neutrons
13 = number of neutrons
number of neutrons of Magnesium Mg = 13
B. What is the average atomic mass of magnesium in these rocks?
The average atomic mass of an element which exhibit isotopy is the average mass of its various isotopes as they occur naturally in any quantity of the element.
Therefore the average atomic mass of magnesium can be calculated as:
= [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{(23.9872 \times 79.70) + ( 24.9886 \times 10.13) + (25.9846 \times 10.17) }{79.7 + 10.13 +10.17}}[/tex]
= [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{(1911.77984) + ( 53.134518) + (264.263382) }{100}}[/tex]
= [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{2229.17774 }{100}}[/tex]
The average mass of Mg = 22.29 amu
C. Is the magnesium composition on Mars the same as that on Earth? Explain.
The average atomic weight of magnesium on Earth is said to be 24.305 amu while that of Mars is 22.29 amu.
There difference in the average atomic weight result into difference in their composition. Therefore,the magnesium composition on Mars is not the same as that on Earth.

Did the kinetic frictional coefficient (for the wood/aluminum and felt/aluminum cases) vary with area of contact
Answer:
Explanation:
Friction is defined as a force which acts at the surface of separation between two objects in contact and tends to oppose motion of one over the other.
While kinetic friction is the force that must be overcome so that a body can move with uniform speed over another.
Hence let consider one of the laws of friction which states that: '' Frictional force is independent of the area of the surfaces in contact.''
The value did not vary with area. This is because when calculating the kinetic fiction, the total contact area is not relevant and only the total weight of the system as well of as the block is put into consideration.
A piano string having a mass per unit length equal to 4.80 ✕ 10−3 kg/m is under a tension of 1,300 N. Find the speed with which a wave travels on this string.
Answer:
Velocity of wave (V) = 5.2 × 10² m/s
Explanation:
Given:
Per unit length mass (U) = 4.80 × 10⁻³ kg/m
Tension (T)= 1,300 N
Find:
Velocity of wave (V)
Computation:
Velocity of wave (V) = √T / U
Velocity of wave (V) = √1300 / 4.80 × 10⁻³
Velocity of wave (V) = √ 270.84 × 10³
Velocity of wave (V) = 5.2 × 10² m/s
A mass M is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude A, it has a period T. What is the period if the amplitude of the motion is doubled
Answer:
The period of the motion will still be equal to T.
Explanation:
for a system with mass = M
attached to a massless spring.
If the system is set in motion with an amplitude (distance from equilibrium position) A
and has period T
The equation for the period T is given as
[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k} }[/tex]
where k is the spring constant
If the amplitude is doubled, the distance from equilibrium position to the displacement is doubled.
Increasing the amplitude also increases the restoring force. An increase in the restoring force means the mass is now accelerated to cover more distance in the same period, so the restoring force cancels the effect of the increase in amplitude. Hence, increasing the amplitude has no effect on the period of the mass and spring system.
y=k/x, x is halved.
what happens to the value of y
Answer:
y is doubled
Explanation:
If x is halved, that means the value is doubled. Here is an exmaple:
y=1/2. If the denominater is doubled, y would equal y=1/1. So, the value of y has doubled from 0.5 to 1. Therefore, if the denominator is halved, the solution will be doubled.

Test Bank, Question 18.83 Inside a room at a uniform comfortable temperature, metallic objects generally feel cooler to the touch than wooden objects do. This is because: a given mass of wood contains more heat than the same mass of metal the human body, being organic, resembles wood more closely than it resembles metal metal conducts heat better than wood heat tends to flow from metal to wood
Answer:
metal conducts heat better than wood.
Explanation:
Metals are generally good conductors of heat, and they usually conduct heat at a relatively rapid rate. Inside the room with a uniform temperature, a metal when touched will rapidly conduct the heat from your hand, leaving your hand with a cooler feeling. Wood on the other hand is a poor heat conductor, so the heat is not conducted from your hand fast enough to cool it up to the point that your hand feels cool.
A baseball (m=145g) traveling 35 m/s moves a fielder's glove backward 23 cm when the ball is caught. What was the average force exerted by the ball on the glove?
Answer:
386.13 N
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of the baseball is converted into workdone in moving the glove backward( work energy theorem).
Therefore, KE of the ball
[tex]\frac{1}{2} mv^2 =\frac{1}{2}(0.145)35^2\\ = 88.81 \text{J}[/tex]
Now, workdone in moving the glove
W= Fd
where F = Force applied, d = displacement of the glove= 0.23 cm.
88.81 = F×0.23
F= 88.81/0.23 = 386.13 N
How are electricity and magnets connected
Answer: The properties of magnets are used to make electricity. Moving magnetic fields pull and push electrons. Moving a magnet around a coil of wire, or moving a coil of wire around a magnet, pushes the electrons in the wire and creates an electrical current.
Two imaginary spherical surfaces of radius R and 2R respectively surround a positive point charge Q located at the center of the concentric spheres. When compared to the number of field lines N1 going through the sphere of radius R, the number of electric field lines N2 going through the sphere of radius 2R is
Answer:
N2 = ¼N1
Explanation:
First of all, let's define the terms;
N1 = number of electric field lines going through the sphere of radius R
N2 = number of electric field lines going through the sphere of radius 2R
Q = the charge enclosed at the centre of concentric spheres
ε_o = a constant known as "permittivity of the free space"
E1 = Electric field in the sphere of radius R.
E2 = Electric field in the sphere of radius 2R.
A1 = Area of sphere of radius R.
A2 = Area of sphere of radius 2R
Now, from Gauss's law, the electric flux through the sphere of radius R is given by;
Φ = Q/ε_o
We also know that;
Φ = EA
Thus;
E1 × A1 = Q/ε_o
E1 = Q/(ε_o × A1)
Where A1 = 4πR²
E1 = Q/(ε_o × 4πR²)
Similarly, for the sphere of radius 2R,we have;
E2 = Q/(ε_o × 4π(2R)²)
Factorizing out to get;
E2 = ¼Q/(ε_o × 4πR²)
Comparing E2 with E1, we arrive at;
E2 = ¼E1
Now, due to the number of lines is proportional to the electric field in the each spheres, we can now write;
N2 = ¼N1

If the x-position of a particle is measured with an uncertainty of 1.00×10-10 m, then what is the uncertainty of the momentum in this same direction? (Useful constant: h-bar = 1.05×10-34 Js.)
Answer:
The uncertainty in momentum is 5.25x 10^25Jsm
Explanation:
We know that
h bar = h/2π
So
1.05x 10^34=h/2pπ
h=1.05x 10^ 34(2π)=6.597x 10^-34Js
dp=(6.597x10^-34/4pπ)/(1x10^-10)
=5.25x10^-25 Jsm
A car accelerates uniformly from rest and reaches a speed of 22.7 m/s in 9.02 s. Assume the diameter of a tire is 58.5 cm. (a) Find the number of revolutions the tire makes during this motion, assuming that no slipping occurs. rev (b) What is the final angular speed of a tire in revolutions per second? rev/s
(a) The car is undergoing an acceleration of
[tex]a=\dfrac{22.7\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-0}{9.02\,\mathrm s}\approx2.52\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}[/tex]
so that in 9.02 s, it will have covered a distance of
[tex]x=\dfrac a2(9.02\,\mathrm s)^2\approx102\,\mathrm m[/tex]
The car has tires with diameter d = 58.5 cm = 0.585 m, and hence circumference π d ≈ 1.84 m. Divide the distance traveled by the tire circumference to determine how many revolutions it makes:
[tex]\dfrac{102\,\mathrm m}{1.84\,\mathrm m}\approx55.7\,\mathrm{rev}[/tex]
(b) The wheels have average angular velocity
[tex]\omega=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2=\dfrac{\theta_f-\theta_i}{\Delta t}[/tex]
where [tex]\omega[/tex] is the average angular velocity, [tex]\omega_i[/tex] and [tex]\omega_f[/tex] are the initial and final angular velocities (rev/s), [tex]\theta_i[/tex] and [tex]\theta_f[/tex] are the initial and final angular displacements (rev), respectively, and [tex]\Delta t[/tex] is the duration of the time between initial and final measurements. The second equality holds because acceleration is constant.
The wheels start at rest, so
[tex]\dfrac{\omega_f}2=\dfrac{55.7\,\rm rev}{9.02\,\rm s}\implies\omega_f\approx12.4\dfrac{\rm rev}{\rm s}[/tex]
Approximating the eye as a single thin lens 2.70 cmcm from the retina, find the focal length of the eye when it is focused on an object at a distance of 265 cmcm
Answer:
0.37 cm
Explanation:
The image is formed on the retina which is at a constant distance of 2.70 cm to the lens. Therefore, image distance = 2.70 cm.
The object is at a distant of 265 cm to the lens of the eye.
From lens formula,
[tex]\frac{1}{f}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{u}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{v}[/tex]
where: f is the focal length, u is the object distance and v is the image distance.
Thus, u = 265.00 cm and v = 2.70 cm.
[tex]\frac{1}{f}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{265}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{27}{10}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{10+7155}{2650}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{f}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7165}{2650}[/tex]
⇒ f = [tex]\frac{2650}{7165}[/tex]
= 0.37
The focal length of the eye is 0.37 cm.

= 0.2 x 10^ -3T
B2=
4 x 3.14 x 10^-7 x80/( 2 x 3.142x 0.04)
= 0.4 x 10^ -3T
So
(Bnet)² = (Bx)² + ( By)²
= (0.2² + 0.4²)mT
= 450 x10^-6T
The magnitude of magnetic field at the origin is required.
The magnitude of resulting magnetic field at origin is [tex]447.2\ \mu\text{T}[/tex]
x = Location at x axis = 5 cm
y = Location at y axis = 4 cm
[tex]I_x[/tex] = Current at the x axis point = 50 A

[tex]\mu_0[/tex] = Vacuum permeability = [tex]4\pi\times 10^{-7}\ \text{H/m}[/tex]
Magnitude of the magnetic field is given by

front wheel drive car starts from rest and accelerates to the right. Knowing that the tires do not slip on the road, what is the direction of the friction force the road applies to the rear tire
Answer:
The frictional force the road applies to the rear tire is static friction and it acts opposite to the direction in which the car is traveling.
Explanation:
This question suggests that the car is accelerating forward. Thus, the easiest way for us to know what friction is doing is for us to know what happens when we turn friction off.
Now, if there is no friction and the car is stopped, if we push down on the accelerator, it will make the front wheels to spin in a clockwise manner. This spin occurs on the frictionless surface with the rear wheels doing nothing while the car doesn't move.
Now, if we apply friction to just the front wheels, the car will accelerate forward while the back wheels would be dragging along the road and not be spinning. Thus, friction opposes the motion and as such, it must act im a direction opposite to where the car is going. This must be static friction.
The frictional force the road applies to the rear tire is static friction and it acts opposite to the direction in which the car is traveling.
The ancient Greek Eratosthenes found that the Sun casts different lengths of shadow at different points on Earth. There were no shadows at midday in Aswan as the Sun was directly overhead. 800 kilometers north, in Alexandria, shadow lengths were found to show the Sun at 7.2 degrees from overhead at midday. Use these measurements to calculate the radius of Earth.
Answer:
The radius of the earth is [tex]r = 6365.4 \ km[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance at Alexandria is [tex]d_a = 800 \ km = 800 *10^{3} \ m[/tex]
The angle of the sun is [tex]\theta = 7.2 ^o[/tex]
So we want to first obtain the circumference of the earth
So let assume that the earth is circular ([tex]360 ^o[/tex])
Now from question we know that the sun made an angle of [tex]7.2 ^o[/tex] so with this we will obtain how many [tex](7.2 ^o)[/tex] are in [tex]360^o[/tex]
i.e [tex]N = \frac{360}{7.2}[/tex]
=> [tex]N = 50[/tex]
With this value we can evaluate the circumference as
[tex]c = 50 * 800[/tex]
