The distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level is "6.282 cm".

<h3>What is Archimedes' principle?</h3>

According to Archimedes' principle, the weight of the fluid that the body displaces is equal to the upward buoyant force that is applied to a body submerged in a fluid, whether fully or partially. The Archimedes' principle is a fundamental physical law in fluid mechanics. It was created by Syracuse's Archimedes.

According to Archimedes' principle, a body submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force proportional to the weight of the fluid that has been displaced. One of the prerequisites for equilibrium is this. We believe that the buoyancy force, also known as the centre of buoyancy, is situated in the middle of the submerged hull.

From Archimedes' principle, we get

\rightarrow L^3 \rho_{\text {Wood }} &=L^2 d \rho_{\text {Water }} \\

d &=L \frac{\rho_{\text {Waat }}}{\rho_{\text {Water }}} \\

&=18 \times \frac{651}{1000} \\

=11.72cm

So,

The distance from horizontal top to the water level will be:

=18-11.72

=6.282cm

Two infinite wires 20 cm apart each carry a current of 3 A into the paper. d I I d/2 d/2 At a distance d 2 below their midpoint,
Rzqust [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

<h3>As electric current is carried in a cable, around it, a magnetic field is created. The lines of the magnetic fields form concentric circles around the wire. The direction of the magnetic field hinges on the direction of the current. It can be calculated by pointing the thumb of your right hand in the direction of the moment, using the "right hand law." The position of your curled fingers is in the magnetic field lines. The magnetic field magnitude depends on the sum of current, and the distance from the wire carrying the charge.</h3>

<u></u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Determine the direction of vector B magnitude B: B: B=\mu_{0} * 1 /(2 \pi r): r=d / 2 * \sqrt{2}

\cos \alpha=1 / 2 \Rightarrow \alpha=450

Resultant magnitude strength: B=2 B^{*} \cos \alpha=B=u_{0}^{*} 1 /(2 \pi r)=4.24^{*} 10^{-6} T=4.24 u T its direction is pointing to the left.

In order to walk barefoot on hot coals without hurting your feet
siniylev [52]

Before a person walks through burning coal, the person will make sure their feet are very wet. When they start walking on the coal, this moisture will evaporate and form a protective gas layer underneath the person's feet. You can see examples of this if you happen to drip some water on a hot stove or any very hot surface. The water will very easily glide around on top of a newly formed layer of air underneath it -- like air hockey pucks on an air hockey table. Note that when someone walks through burning coal, typically this is also done very quickly to prevent a great deal of exposure to possible harm. By walking quickly, thinking positively, and letting the water cushion you from immediate danger over a short distance, such a task is possible. You may have also heard of physics teachers demonstrating how this principle works by sticking their hand first in a bucket of water and then quickly in a bucket of boiling molten lead. In the lead, their hand is protected briefly by a layer of gas from the evaporated water (the water vapor). I'm fairly sure that there is a name for this particular layer of gas, but I'm afraid the name is beyond me at the moment. In other words, water vapor has a low heat capacity and poor thermal conduction. Very often, the coals or wood embers that are used in fire walking also have a low heat capacity. Sweat produced on the bottom of people's feet also helps form a protective water vapor. All of this together makes it possible, if moving quickly enough, to walk across hot coals without getting burned. WARNING: Do not attempt to perform any of the actions described above. You can seriously injure yourself. Answered by: Ted Pavlic, Electrical Engineering Undergrad Student, Ohio St.  (citing my source)

Distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave?
lesantik [10]
It's called the "Wavelength". It corresponds to <span>the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave and could also be from crest to crest or trough to trough.

Hope this helps !

An object with a higher temperature can have less thermal energy than an object
Anna [14]
It’s true, because it also depends on things like mass. Higher temperature but less mass< Lower temperature but more mass.
