A buoy is a floating device that can have many purposes, but often as a locator for ships. Collin constructs a hollow metal buoy

by welding together two identical cones of height h and diameter d. The resulting double-cone buoy has average density equal to half the density of seawater meaning that its total mass divided by total volume is half the density of seawater. Throughout this problem, you can ignore the air above the sea’s surface.1. When the buoy is at rest in a calm ocean, with its axis of symmetry perpendicular to the water’s surface, what fraction of it will be submerged?2. If the buoy is at rest at time t = 0 and is then pushed down slightly into the water and let go, what will be its angular frequency ω of small oscillations in terms of the given variables? Note: the volume of a cone of height h and base area A is hA/3.3. What should be the height h of each cone in the buoy so that the buoy will execute one oscillation period every second and therefore be usable as a clock with one-second accuracy?

Answer:

A) since the density of the buoy is half the density of sea water when the buoy is at rest on an ocean half of the buoy will be submerged in water

B )angular frequency ( w ) = \sqrt{\frac{3g}{h} }

c )  h = 1.34 m ( 4\pi ^{2} / 3g )

Explanation:

A) since the density of the buoy is half the density of sea water when the buoy is at rest on an ocean half of the buoy will be submerged in water this is because the substances with lesser density floats when placed in a substance with a higher density

B ) when the Buoy is at rest ( t = 0 ) and is then pushed down calculate angular frequency ( w ) of small oscillations in terms of the given variables

volume of cone = hA /3.

h = height of cone, A = Base Area.

therefore the total volume of the Buoy above water level ( at rest )

= (\pi r^{2} * \frac{h}{3} ) * 2 = \frac{\pi r^{2} h  }{6}

The  part of the buoy immersed in water = x

then the net upward force will be

fb ( force of Buoy ) =  fg ( force of gravity )

note force = Mass * Acceleration

force of buoy = \frac{\alpha }{2} *\frac{\pi r^{2}  }{h}* a = ( force of gravity ) \alpha * T\frac{r^{2} }{4} * x * g

therefore a = \frac{3g}{h}  * x

angular frequency ( w ) = \sqrt{\frac{3g}{h} }

C ) height of the each cone

\frac{2\pi }{w}  = 1 therefore w = 2\pi

back to the angular frequency : \frac{3g}{h} = 4\pi ^{2}

therefore h = 1.34 m ( 4\pi ^{2} / 3g )

Which of the following statements best describes the second law of
Serga [27]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Heat flows from hot to cold to lower the temperature of hot areas and increase temperature of cold areas. The end result is that the 2 areas have the same temperature, thus increasing entropy.

A very large sheet of insulating material has had an excess of electrons placed on it to a surface charge density of –3.00nC/m2
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: sheet of charge

Explanation:

a )

Since the charge is negative , potential will be negative near it . At a far point potential will be less negative. So potential will virtually increase on going away from the sheet . At infinity it will become almost zero. Electric field will be towards the plate , so potential will decrease towards the plate.

b ) The shape of equi -potential surface will be plane parallel to the sheet of charge because electric field will be perpendicular to the sheet of charge and almost uniform near the sheet of charge.   The equi- potential surface is always perpendicular to electric field.

C ) Electric field which is almost uniform near the sheet of charge is equal t the following

E = σ / ε₀ where  σ is charge density of surface and  ε₀ is permittivity of medium whose value is 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

E = 3 x 10⁻⁹ / 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

= .3389 x 10³

= 338.9 V / m

spacing between 1 V

= 1 / 338.9 m

= 2.95 X 10⁻3 m

= 2.95 mm.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

K =6.697 Kg/s²

Explanation:

Given:

delta m =41 g = 0.041 kg

delta x = 6cm = 0.06m

g = 9.8 m/s²

according to the given formula

K = delta m g /delta x

K = (0.041 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / 0.06m

K =6.697 Kg/s²
