Answer:

Explanation:

Use Archimedes' principle, that states something of this nature: "The buoyant force acting on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced"

Say, you take a cube of wood(for example) and place it in a bucket of water. Your cube is bound to sink, until, the upthrust force equals its weight.

Where does this upthrust come from?

As the cube sinks, it displaced some volume of water(if the bucket were full you would see water pouring out)

Archimedes simply stated that: Upthrust,

U=mg

Example: One way to measure the volume of any irregular object (in your case, a stone) is to submerge it completely under water and measure the change in the height of the water level. This change in the water level (let's say it goes from 50 mL to 65 mL) indicates that the stone has a volume of 15 mL.
Example:Subtract the first volume from the second volume to calculate the volume of the stone. For example, if you recorded 40 fluid ounces the first time, and 50 fluid ounces the second time, the stone volume is 10 fluid ounces.

Titus drives his jetski a distance of 1000 meters in 7.045 seconds. How fast was he moving in meters per second? How fast was he

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a) v = 141.9 m/s

b) v = 317.4 miles/h

Explanation:

a) How fast was he moving in meters per second?

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1000 m}{7.045 s} = 141.9 m/s$

Hence, the jet ski is moving at 141.9 meters per second.

b) How fast was he moving in miles per hour?

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1000 m}{7.045 s} = 141.9 m/s*\frac{3600 s}{1 h}*\frac{1 mile}{1609.34 m} = 317.4 miles/h$

Therefore, the jet ski is moving at 317.4 miles per hour.

I hope it helps you!

A current cannot produce a magnetic field. *<br><br> True or false

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False, as a magnetic field is generated whenever current travels through a conductor.

An electromagnet consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a bar of iron. The coil and iron bar get magnetized when electric current flows through the wire. An electromagnet also has north and south magnetic poles. The magnetic field is strongest at either pole of the magnet.

What is the velocity of the object?

dmitriy555 [2]

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2 /><h2> $\huge\boxed{\text{V = 9.5 m/s}}$ </h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2>

mass = m = 2kg

Distance = x = 6m

Force = 30N

TO FIND:

Work = W = ?

Velocity = V = ?

<h2>SOLUTION:</h2>

According to the object of mass 2 kg travels a distance when the force was exerted on it. The graph between the Force and position was plotted which shows that 30 N of force was used to push the object till the distance of 6.0m.

To find the work, I will use the method of determining the area of the plotted graph. As the graph is plotted in the straight line between the Force and work, THE PICTURE ATTCHED SHOWS THE AREA COVERED IN BLUE AS WORK DONE AND HEIGHT AS 30m AND DISTANCE COVERED AS 6m To solve for the area(work) of triangle is given as,

${\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\;(Base)\:(Height)$

Base is the x-axis of the graph which is Position i.e. 6m

Height is the y-axis of the graph which is Force i.e. 30N

So,

$W\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\:6\:x\:30$

W = 90 J

The work done is 90 J.

According to the principle of work and kinetic energy (also known as the work-energy theorem) states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle.

${\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad K.E\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad \frac{1}{2}\ m\ V^2 \\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad \frac{1}{2}\ 2\ (V_f-V_i)^2\\\\{V_i\ is\ 0\ because\ the\ object\ was\ initially\ at\ rest}\\\\ {\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\ x\ 2\ (V_f-0)^2 \\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad 90\quad = \frac{1}{2}\ x\ 2\ (V_f)^2$

$\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad V_f\quad =\ \sqrt{\frac{2\ (90)\ }{2}}\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad \boxed {V_f\quad =\ 9.48\ m/s}$

$\boxed{The\ Velocity\ of\ the\ Object\ of\ mass\ 2kg\ at\ 6\ meters\ of\ distance\ was\ 9.48\ m/s}$
