A fisherman and his young son are in a boat on a small pond. Both are wearing life jackets. The son is holding a large helium fi

lled balloon by a string. Consider each action below independently and indicate whether the level of the water in the pond, Rises, Falls, is Unchanged or Cannot tell.
The son pops the helium balloon.
The fisherman knocks the tackle box overboard and it sinks to the bottom.
The son finds a cup and bails some water out of the bottom of the boat
The fisherman lowers himself in the water and floats on his back.
The fisherman lowers the anchor and it hangs one foot above the bottom of the pond.
The son gets in the water, looses his grip on the string, letting the balloon escape upwards.

Based on the weight of the objects in the water, the water level in the given scenario is as follows;

  • unchanged
  • rises
  • falls
  • unchanged
  • rises
  • rises

<h3>What changes will be observed in each of the given scenario?</h3>

The rise or fall of a fluid when an object is placed in it is determined by the density, mass, and volume of the object.

According to Archimedes' principle, the upthrust or upward force acting on a body fully or partially  immersed in a fluid, is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

Considering the given situations:

  1. The son pops the helium balloon - water level is unchanged because the weight of the balloon is negligible.
  2. Fisherman knocks the tackle box overboard and it sinks to the bottom - water level will rise since the tackle box has significant weight
  3. Son finds a cup and bails some water out of the bottom of the boat - water level will fall since some volume of water is being removed and added to the boat.
  4. Fisherman lowers himself in the water and floats on his back - water level is unchanged because no additional weight is added to the water
  5. Fisherman lowers the anchor and it hangs one foot above the bottom of the pond - water level will rise since the anchor will displace some volume of water equal to its weight in the pond
  6. Son gets in the water, looses his grip on the string, letting the balloon escape upwards- water level will rise since the weight of the balloon and string are significant.

In conclusion, the rise in water level depends on the weight of the objects.

Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're
musickatia [10]
<span>The answer is letter C.

Reflecting telescopes are more powerful than refracting telescopes. These are also called as reflectors which serves an optical telescope that uses a single or combination of curved mirrors. These mirrors then reflect light and form an image. It is designed for very large diameter objects and are mostly considered as major telescopes in the field of astronomy. They were used as an alternative for refracting telescopes during the 17th century because they suffer less chromatic aberrations than a refracting telescope does. <span>

A 1500 kg car, initially traveling at 22.0 m/s, hits its brakes and skids to a stop. Determine the work done by friction.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

<em>The work done by the car is 363 kJ</em>

Explanation:

Work : Work is said to be done when a Force moves an object through a certain distance. Work and Energy are interchangeable because they have the same unit. The unit of work is Joules (J).

Mathematically work done can be expressed as,

E = W = 1/2mv²

W =  1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where E = Energy, W = work done, m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car

<em>Given: m=1500 kg, v=22 m/s</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>W = 1/2(1500)(22)²</em>

<em>W = 750 × 484</em>

<em>W = 363000 J</em>

<em>W = 363 kJ</em>

<em>Thus the work done by the car is 363 kJ</em>

If there is an object in top of another object, why does the upper object exert a downward normal force?​
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

This is because normal force is exerted perpendicularly to the point of contact between the upper and lower objects.  

Explanation:

This is because the upper object is still subject to gravitational pull. Therefore, the amount of force it exerts on the lower object due to gravity will be equal to the normal force that acts in the negative direction of gravitational force. Additionally, normal force is evident because the upper object will not go into the lower object.
