Salt is now added to the water in the bucket, increasing the density of the liquid. what happens to the tension in the string ?

1 answer:

5 0

The question involves a ping-pong ball that is held submerged in a bucket by a string attached to the bottom of the bucket.

The answer is the tension of the string will increase. This is because making the water salty increases its density, and consequently, increases its buoyancy. This is why sea water is more buoyant than fresh water. Therefore the ping pong is pushed more upwards by the water when salt is added than initially. This gives the string more tension.

Kingda Ka has a maximum speed of 57.2 m/s. Determine the height of the hill on this roller coaster. Explain to get full credit,

kodGreya [7K]

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy.

The height of the hill is "166.76 m".

<h3>LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY:</h3>

According to the law of conservation of energy at the highest point of the roller coaster ride, that is, the hill, the whole (maximum) kinetic energy of the roller coaster is converted into its potential energy:

$Maximum\ Kinetic\ Energy\ Lost = Maximum\ Potential\ Energy\ Gain\\\\
\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2=mgh\\\\
h=\frac{v_{max}^2}{2g}$
