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

Superman does an exhibition run at a track meet. When he runs the 200 m
Ber [7]

Answer:

6.32s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Length of track and distance covered  = 200m

Acceleration  = 10m/s²

Unknown:

Time taken to cover the track  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply one of the motion equations as shown below:

       S  = ut + \frac{1}{2} at²  

S is the distance covered

t is the time taken

a the acceleration

u is the initial velocity

The initial velocity of Superman is 0;

 So;

     S  =  \frac{1}{2} at²  

        200  =  \frac{1}{2} x 10 x t²  

          200  = 5t²  

            t²  = 40

            t  = 6.32s

Find the wavelength of the third line in the lyman series, and identify the type of em radiation.
Natalija [7]

The wavelength of the third line in the Lyman series, and identify the type of EM radiation

In this series, the spectral lines are obtained when an electron makes a transition from any high energy level (n=2,3,4,5... ). The wavelength of light emitted in this series lies in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

1 / lambda = R(h)* ( \frac{1}{(n1)^{2} } -   \frac{1}{(n2)^{2} })

                 = 109678 ( \frac{1}{1^{2} } -  \frac{1}{3^{2} } )

                 = 109678 (8/9)

   Lambda = 9 / (109678 * 8 )

                  = 102.6 * 10^{-9} m = 102.6 nm

Sammy feels an ocean breeze as he plays volleyball at the beach. Why do ocean winds or sea breezes blow toward shore during the
DedPeter [7]

The heat coming from the sun warms the land more quickly than the sea. As a result of these, the air near the land warm up and rises and the cooler air from the sea moves in to replace the risen air. The correct answer is option A

There will be heat transfer from a region of higher temperature to the region of lower temperature. But in the case of land and sea breeze, the transfer of heat are the result of convectional current in nature. Because the land is a better absorber of heat and also has a lower specific heat capacity compare to sea, during the day, the heat coming from the sun warms the land more quickly than the sea. As a result of these, the air near the land warm up and rises.

The cooler air from the sea moves in to replace the risen air.

Why do ocean winds or sea breezes blow toward shore during the day ? It is because air over the beach heats up, rises and is replaced by ocean air.

Therefore, option A is correct
