Answer:

B. The buoyant force on the copper block is greater than the buoyant force on the lead block.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of lead block, m₁ = 200 g = 0.2 kg

mass of copper block, m₂ = 200 g = 0.2 kg

density of water, ρ = 1 g/cm³

density of lead block, ρ₁ = 11.34 g/cm³

density of copper block, ρ₂ = 8.96 g/cm³

The buoyant force on each block is calculated as;

F_B = mg(\frac{density \ of \ fluid}{density \ of \ object} )

The buoyant force of lead block;

F_{lead} = 0.2*9.8(\frac{1}{11.34} )\\\\F_{lead} = 0.173  \ N

The buoyant force of copper block

F_{copper} = 0.2*9.8(\frac{1}{8.96})\\\\F_{copper} = 0.219  \ N

Therefore, the buoyant force on the copper block is greater than the buoyant force on the lead block

4. A driver travels 135 km, east in 1.5 h, stops for 45 minutes for lunch,
stira [4]

Answer:

The driver's average velocity is 82.35 km/h.

Explanation:

Given:

The motion of the driver can be divided into 3 parts:

i. Displacement of the driver in 1.5 hours = 135 km

ii. Rest for 45 minutes.

iii. Displacement in next 2 hours = 215 km

The direction of motion remains same (east).

Now, total displacement of the driver is, D_{Total}=135+215=350 km.

Rest time is 45 minutes. Converting it to hours, we need to use the conversion factor 1\textrm{ min} = \frac{1}{60} hour.

So, 45 minutes in hours is equal to \frac{45}{60}=0.75 hours.

Now, total time taken for the complete journey is, \Delta t=1.5+\frac{45}{60}+2=1.5+0.75+2=4.25\textrm{ h}

Average velocity is given as:

v_{avg}=\frac{\textrm{Total displacement}}{Total time}=\frac{350}{4.25}=82.35\textrm{ km/h}

Therefore, the driver's average velocity is 82.35 km/h

An alarm clock has a resistance of 14,000 ohms and is plugged into a 120-volt outlet. How much power does the clock use?
yan [13]

Power used by the clock=1.03 W

Explanation:

resistance= 14000 ohm

voltage=120 V

The formula for the power is given by

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

P=(120)²/14000

P=1.03 W

If there were no external forces acting on the two pucks, their complex motion could be described as the combination of the unif
mote1985 [20]

The absence of external forces will make the pucks move in the form of a uniform circular motion.

<h3>What is a circular motion?</h3>

It should be noted that a circular motion simply means the movement of an object along the circumference of the circle.

In this case, the absence of external forces will make the pucks move in the form of a uniform circular motion.

If the friction is absent, the pucks will continue to move on the same path due to the first law of Newton and the law of conversation of energy. In this case,the results will match the predictions until there's loss in energy.

A cyclist travels at 15 m/s during a sprint finish. What is this speed in km/h
g100num [7]

Answer:

54 km/hr

Explanation:

m/s to km/hr => 18/5

15 m/s to km/hr => 15 x 18/5 =>3 x 18 => 54km/hr
