Based on Archimedes' principle, we know that if an object displaces a given weight of water, then the object is being buoyed up

by an equal amount of force.
true or false?

True. If the amount displaced is more than the mass, it floats. If the amount is less than the mass, it will sink.

Answer:

The answer is True.

Explanation:

According to the Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force is equal to the submerged volume multiplied by the density of the displaced liquid; This happens because when the body is submerged, the fluid will exert an equal and opposite direction force, due to the change in pressure.

How do paved parking lots and roads with concrete or asphalt affect water flow on the land?

harina [27]

On the regular ground, water usually seeps in to the soil, which has a number of benefits for the wildlife in that area. However, with asphalt and concrete, there is no soft and absorbent soil to take in the water, so it just keeps flowing down to the lowest part of land it can. Additionally, some water runoff can carry fertilizer and other harmful chemicals with it in to the oceans and lakes it’s dumped in, which harms the ecosystem in them as well.

A. How long does it take light to travel through a 3.0-mm-thick piece of window glass?

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

a) $1.517\times10^{-11}$ s

b) 3.41 mm

Explanation:

a)

We take the speed of light, c = $3.0\times10^8$ m/s and the refractive index of glass as 1.517.

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

$n=\dfrac{c}{s}$

$s=\dfrac{c}{n}$

$t=\dfrac{d}{c/n}$

$t=\dfrac{dn}{c}$

$t=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{3.0\times10^8}$

$t=1.517\times10^{-11}$

b)

We take the refractive index of water as 1.333.

Speed in water = speed in vacuum / refractive index of water

Distance = speed * time

$d=s\times t$

$d=\dfrac{c}{n_w}\times \dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{c}$

$d=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times 1.517}{1.333}$

d = 3.41 mm

12. A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates vertically. It accelerates uniformly until it

vodomira [7]

Answer:

We kindly invite you to read carefully the explanation and check the image attached below.

Explanation:

According to this problem, the rocket is accelerated uniformly due to thrust during 30 seconds and after that is decelerated due to gravity. The velocity as function of initial velocity, acceleration and time is:

$v_{f} = v_{o}+a\cdot (t-t_{o})$ (1)

Where:

$v_{o}$ - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

$v_{f}$ - Final velocity, measured in meters per second.

$a$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$t_{o}$ - Initial time, measured in seconds.

$t$ - Final time, measured in seconds.

Now we obtain the kinematic equations for thrust and free fall stages:

Thrust ( $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $a = 30\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $t_{o} = 0\,s$ , $0\,s\le t< 30\,s$ )

$v = 30\cdot t$ (2)

Free fall ( $v_{o} = 900\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $t_{o} = 30\,s$ , $30\,s \le t \le 120\,s$ )

$v = 900-9.81\cdot (t-30)$ (3)

Now we created the graph speed-time, which can be seen below.
