ock is suspended just above the bottom of the aquarium by a thread. Which of the following is true?
A. More information is needed to choose the correct answer.
B. The buoyant force on the copper block is greater than the buoyant force on the lead block.
C. The buoyant force on the lead block is greater than the buoyant force on the copper block.
D. The buoyant force is the same on both blocks.

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

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth at approximately 612,000m altitude. Its mass is 11,100 kg and the mass of earth is 5

Answer:

7.55 km/s

Explanation:

The force of gravity between the Earth and the Hubble Telescope corresponds to the centripetal force that keeps the telescope in uniform circular motion around the Earth:

G\frac{mM}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m=11,100 kg is the mass of the telescope

M=5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg is the mass of the Earth

R=r+h=6.38\cdot 10^6 m+612,000 m=6.99\cdot 10^6 m is the distance between the telescope and the Earth's centre (given by the sum of the Earth's radius, r, and the telescope altitude, h)

v = ? is the orbital velocity of the Hubble telescope

Re-arranging the equation and substituting numbers, we find the orbital velocity:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{6.99\cdot 10^6 m}}=7548 m/s=7.55 km/s
