A) A plastic block that has a length of 0.5 m, a width of 0.26 m, and a height of 0.33 m, and has a density of 670 kg/m3 floats in both water and oil. If the plastic block is floating at the surface of a tank of water (which has a density of 1000 kg/m3), what is the distance from the top of the block to the surface of the water?If the plastic block is floating at the surface of a tank of oil (which has a density of 900 kg/m3), what is the distance from the top of the block to the surface of the oil?

B) A cargo barge is loaded in a saltwater harbor for a trip up a freshwater river. If the rectangular barge is 2.50 m by 20.0 m and sits 0.800 m deep in the saltwater harbor, how deep will it sit in the freshwater river?

You measured the force between two charged pith balls where the pith balls were of the same size and mass. Your assumption was that the charge on the balls was the same. Now, you charge the balls so that they hang a distance r apart. Then you step out to get a drink of water, and when you return, you find the distance between the pith balls is half what it was before you got a drink. In terms of the length L, the charge Q, and the original angle θ, find the new charge on the pith balls and the new angle at which they hang.

Make a phasor diagram for an LRC circuit 5000 Hz if voltage across LC is 4.0 V, voltage across a resistor is 9.0 V, peak current is .09 A, and the phase difference between R to LC is 6.3 radians. I always rate for helpful answers

Consider the matrix methode for a single thin lense, ie, make the same assumption that we made when we developed the lensmaker formula.

Use this to determine the (simple) System Matrix, A, for the thin lense.

(a) Construct the P-V graph for the Carnot cycle operating between 700 and 200 ^oC if isothermal expansion of water vapor occurs between 1 and 8 L/mol. Determine the relevant quantities of heat, work, energy and entropy. Compare the results obtained using the IGL and the NIST database.

3. Explain why one side of the single magnet attracted the metal surface, but repelled the stack of magnets.

4. What orientation of the magnets gives the strongest repulsion or attraction? Why do you think that is the case? What must be true of the magnetic field at those locations compared to other locations around the magnet?

5. If you cut a bar magnet in half, are the two halves still magnets? Explain your reasoning

.6. How does the magnet attract something that is originally non-magnetic?

An electron in the beam of a cathod-ray tube is accelerated by a potential difference of 2.20 kV . Then it passes through a region of transverse magnetic field, where it moves in a circular arc with a radius of 0.185 m .

1) What is the magnitude of the field?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Consider three point charges arranged along the xx axis. Charge q1q1q1 = -4.20 nCnC is located at x=x= 0.240 mm and charge q2q2q2 = 2.40 nCnC is at x=x= -0.310 mm . A positive point charge q3q3 is located at the origin.

a-Calculate the value of q3q3 such that the net force on this point charge has a magnitude of 4.80 μNμN

b-Where along the xx axis can q3q3 be placed and the net force on it be zero, other than the trivial answers of x=+∞x=+∞ and x=−∞x=−∞?
