You have two identical pure silver ingots. You place one of them in a glass of water and observe it to sink to the bottom. You p

lace the other in a container full of mercury and observe that it floats. Comparing the buoyant forces in the two cases you conclude that
a.) the buoyant force in water is smaller than in mercury

b.) the buoyant force in the water is larger than that in mercury

c.) the buoyant force in the water is zero and that in mercury is non - zero

d.) the buoyant force in the water is equal to that in mercury

e.) no conclusion can be made about the respective values of the buoyant forces

Answer: a)

Explanation:

The buoyant force, as stated by Archimedes’ principle, is equal to the weight of the liquid that occupies the same volumen as the submerged object, as follows:

Fb = δ.V.g

If this force is larger than the weight of the object (that means that the fluid is denser than the solid), the object floats, which is the case for silver and mercury.

Instead, silver density is larger than water density, which explains why the pure silver ingot sinks.

Finally, as mercury is denser than water, we conclude that for a same object, the buoyant force in mercury is larger than in water (exactly 13.6 times greater).

How does the suns energy contribute to the carbon cycle
netineya [11]

Answer:

Plants are a good starting point when looking at the carbon cycle on Earth. Plants have a process called photosynthesis that enables them to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and combine it with water. Using the energy of the Sun, plants make sugars and oxygen molecules.

S_A_V [24]

The speed of the stone is 7.7 m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion. Mathematically,

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the body

v is its speed

For the stone in this problem, we have:

K = 150 J is its kinetic energy

m = 5.0 kg is its mass

Re-arranging the equation for v, we find the speed of the stone:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(150)}{5.0}}=7.7 m/s
