A spherical shell has an outside radius of 2.60 cm and an inside radius of a. The shell wall has uniform thickness and is made of a material with density 4.70 g/cm3. The space inside the shell is filled with a liquid having a density of 1.23 g/cm3. (a) Find the mass m of the sphere, including its contents, as a function of a. (b) In the answer to part (a), if a is regarded as a variable, for what value of a does m have its maximum possible value

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The volume of a sphere is:

Volume = (4/3)πr³; where r is the radius of the shell.

Given the outside radius of 2.60 cm and inner radius of a cm, the volume of the spherical shell is:

Volume of spherical shell = cm³

But Density = mass / volume;   Mass = density * volume.

Therefore, mass of spherical shell = density * volume

mass of spherical shell = * cm³

Mass of liquid = volume of inner shell * density of liquid

Mass of liquid =

Total mass of sphere including contents = mass of spherical shell + mass of liquid

Total mass of sphere including contents (M) = *  +   =

Total mass of sphere including contents (M) = (346 - 14.5a³) grams

b) The mass is maximum when the value of a = 0

M = 346 - 14.5a³

M' = 43.5a² = 0

43.5a² = 0

a = 0

there is no correct list among the choices you've provided.

the list might look something like this:

-- baby human

-- piccolo

-- flute

-- soprano singer

-- trumpet

-- tenor singer

-- trombone

-- baritone singer

-- baritone horn

-- bass singer

-- tuba

since i had to make up the list myself, i made it easy on myself, and i didn't try to shuffle the string instruments and woodwinds into it too.

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
