6. What makes an object float rather than sink?

1 answer:

6 0

An object will float in any solution rather than sink, when the density of the object is less than that of the solution in which it is floating. This statement does not mean that the object has to be lighter in weight than the fluid in which it is floating. A great example is a ship floating in water. I hope the answer helps you.

What force is required to accelerate a 1840 kg car from 4.77 m/s to 23.5 m/s,

neonofarm [45]

A :-) for this question , we should apply
a = v - u by t
Given - u = 4.77 m/s
v = 23.5 m/s
t = 5.18 m/s
Solution -
a = v - u by t
a = 23.5 - 4.77
a = 28.27 m/s^2

.:. The acceleration is 28.27 m/s^2

You shoot an arrow into the air. Two seconds later (2.00 s) the arrow has gone straight upward to a height of 35.0 m above its l

sdas [7]

This question can be solved by using the equations of motion.

a) The initial speed of the arrow is was "9.81 m/s".

b) It took the arrow "1.13 s" to reach a height of 17.5 m.

We will use the second equation of motion to find out the initial speed of the arrow.

$h= v_it + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\$

where,

vi = initial speed = ?

h = height = 35 m

t = time interval = 2 s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

$35\ m = (v_i)(2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)(2\ s)^2\\\\v_i(2\ s)=19.62\ m\\\\v_i = \frac{19.62\ m}{2\ s}$

To find the time taken by the arrow to reach 17.5 m, we will use the second equation of motion again.

$h= v_it + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\$

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 17.5 m

vi = initial speed = 9.81 m/s

t = time = ?

Therefore,

$17.5 = (9.81)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.81)t^2\\4.905t^2+9.81t-17.5=0$

solving this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, we get:

t = -3.13 s (OR) t = 1.13 s

Since time can not have a negative value.

Therefore,

If a baseball has a zero velocity at some instant, is the acceleration of the baseball necessarily zero at that time? Explain -

ipn [44]

Answer:

No, not necessarily

Explanation:

If an object is moving with an acceleration that causes its speed to be reduced, there will be a moment in which it reaches v = 0, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the acceleration isn't acting anymore. If the object continues its movement with the same acceleration, it's velocity will become negative.

An example of an object that has zero velocity but non-zero acceleration:

If you throw an object in the air with a certain velocity, it will move vertically, reducing its velocity in a 9,8 $m/s^{2}$ rate (which is the acceleration caused by gravity). At a certain point, the object will reach its maximum height, and will start to fall. In the exact moment that it reaches the maximum height, before it starts falling, its velocity is zero, but gravity is still acting on the object (this is the reason why it starts falling instead of just being stopped at that point). Therefore, at that point, the object has zero velocity but an acceleration of 9,8 $m/s^{2}$ .

Point charges q1 and q2 are separated by a distance of 60 cm along a horizontal axis.

amm1812

Answer:

38 cm from q1(right)

Explanation:

Given, q1 = 3q2 , r = 60cm = 0.6 m

Let that point be situated at a distance of 'x' m from q1.

Electric field must be same from both sides to be in equilibrium(where EF is 0).

=> k q1/x² = k q2/(0.6 - x)²

=> q1(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²

=> 3q2(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²

=> 3(0.6 - x)² = x²

=> √3(0.6 - x) = ± x

=> 0.6√3 = x(1 + √3)

=> 1.03/2.73 = x

≈ 0.38 m = 38 cm = x
