Widening the boat or creating a boat with thinner clay walls could result in a greater displacement of water, and increased buoyancy.

<h3>Buoyancy:</h3>

The Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes discovered the physical law of buoyancy, which states that any body completely or partially submerged in a fluid (gas or liquid) at rest is subject to an upward, or buoyant, force whose magnitude is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.

The volume of fluid that has been displaced is equal to the volume of an object that is completely submerged in the liquid or to the portion of the volume below the surface for an object that is only partially submerged. The buoyant force's strength is equal to the weight of the fluid that has been dispersed. A body floating in a liquid or gas experiences an analogous buoyant force.

The buoyant force acting on a body floating in a liquid or gas is opposite in direction and of a magnitude equal to the weight of the body; the body neither rises nor falls as a result. For instance, when a ship is launched, it sinks into the ocean until the water it moves is exactly equal to its own weight. The buoyant force continuously equals the weight of the ship and its cargo because when the ship is laden, it descends farther and moves more water.

A leaky faucet drips once each second. at this rate, it takes 1 hour to fill a 1-liter graduated cylinder to the 200-cm3 mark. w
UNO [17]
Define
v = volume of a drop per second, cm³/s

The time taken to fill 200 cm³ is 1 hour.
Let V = 200 cm³, the filled volume.
Let t = 1 h = 3600 s, the time required to fill the volume.

Therefore,
\frac{200 \,  cm^{3}}{v \, cm^{3}/s}  = 3600 \, s \\ v =  \frac{200}{3600} =0.0556 \, cm^{3}

The average volume of a single drop is approximately 0.0556 cm³.

Answer: 0.0556 cm³

A truck traveling down the highway collides with a slower moving mosquito traveling in the same direction. Which of the followin
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that

"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"

In this case, we can call

object A = the truck

object B = the mosquito

Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).

The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:

a=\frac{F}{m}

the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.
