<u>Answer:</u>
Yes
<u>Explanation:</u>
Average velocity is the ratio of total displacement and time taken for that displacement:
This means if displacement is zero, then average velocity will also be zero.
Displacement is zero when an object moves some distance in one direction, and then moves the same distance but in the opposite direction.
∴ As it is possible for displacement to be zero, it is also possible for average velocity to be zero.
Answer:
a) moves down
b) moves down
c) level remains same
Explanation:
Given that the anchor is initially on the floating boat.
a)
In this condition initially the the volume of water displaced is to balance its weight.
Now,
We've, the density of steel and the density of water
When the anchor is dropped into water:
The volume of water displaced be which will be equal to the volume of anchor since it is immersed into it.
...................(1)
So the level of water falls when the anchor is dropped into water.
b)
Now, when the anchor is thrown on the ground the water has now less weight to balance so the water level falls down.
c)
When the cork on the from the boat is dropped into the water and it still floats then it must displace same amount of water, hence there should be no change in the water level.
