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.

ehidna [41]

A point source is to be used with a concave mirror to produce a beam of parallel light. The source should be placed midway between the center of curvature and the mirror. To solve this question you have to draw a ray diagram. Apply the mirror equation to determine the image distance and finally make sure that the first two steps are consistent with each other.

Lab: newton's laws of motion assignment: lab report
poizon [28]

Newton's motion laws state that if an object is at rest or in movement, it will tend to maintain its basal state.

<h3>What are Newton's motion laws?</h3>

Newton's motion laws are a set of scientific statements aimed at explaining the physical property of movement.

These laws explain why objects in movement tend to maintain the same velocity for a short period of time.

In conclusion, Newton's motion laws state that if an object is at rest or in movement, it will tend to maintain its basal state.

Which transformation of energy occurs when a fan is turned on and the blades start to rotate?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

kinetic energy

Explanation:

A wind turbine transforms the mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy. A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator
