A 10-kg piece of aluminum sits at the bottom of a lake, right next to a 10-kg piece of lead, which is much denser than aluminum.

Which one has the greater buoyant force on it?

Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

When a body is immersed in a liquid partly or wholly it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force.

The amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed, density of liquid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

Here, the density of liquid is same in both the cases and g be the same. So, here the amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed.

As the density of lead is more than the density of aluminium, so the volume of aluminium is more than lead, as volume is equal to mass divided by density. So, the buoyant force acting on the aluminium is more than lead.

Temperature is a measure of the energy of molecules and energy is related to speed. 

<span>The water in a pot is heated by convection. The water on the bottom will warm up and rise toward the surface and the cooler water will then sink to the bottom where it will be heated. </span>

<span>Oxygen will form ionic bonds with nitrogen. The others will not by themselves. </span>

<span>A high pH is indicative of a basic solution. HCl and H2SO4 are both strong acids and will result in a lower (more acidic) pH. Water is the standard. KOH is a strong base and will increase the pH. </span>

<span>An acidic solid will lower the pH of a solution. pH measures the number of hydrogen ions and a lower pH will mean that there are more H+ ions, but the solid could just have reacted with the OH- to cause the pH to decrease</span>

Calculate the acceleration of a car if it's velocity increases from 15 m/s to 75m/s in 5 seconds. ​
Andreas93 [3]
  • initial velocity=u=15m/s
  • Final velocity=v=75m/s
  • Time=t=5s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{75-15}{5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{60}{5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=12m/s^2
