6. What makes an object float rather than sink?

Physics

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.

Interactive Solution 8.29 offers a model for this problem. The drive propeller of a ship starts from rest and accelerates at 2.3
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Δθ = 15747.37 rad.

Explanation:

  • The total angular displacement is the sum of three partial displacements: one while accelerating from rest to a certain angular speed, a second one rotating at this same angular speed, and a third one while decelerating to a final angular speed.
  • Applying the definition of angular acceleration, we can find the final angular speed for this first part as follows:

       \omega_{f1} = \alpha * \Delta t = 2.38*e-3rad/s2*2.04e3s = 4.9 rad/sec (1)

  • Since the angular acceleration is constant, and the propeller starts from rest, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the first angular displacement θ₁:

       \omega_{f1}^{2} = 2* \alpha *\Delta\theta (2)

  • Solving for Δθ in (2):

       \theta_{1} = \frac{\omega_{f1}^{2}}{2*\alpha } = \frac{(4.9rad/sec)^{2}}{2*2.38*e-3rad/sec2} = 5044.12 rad (3)

  • The second displacement θ₂, (since along it the propeller rotates at a constant angular speed equal to (1), can be found just applying the definition of average angular velocity, as follows:

       \theta_{2} =\omega_{f1} * \Delta_{t2} = 4.9 rad/s * 1.48*e3 s = 7252 rad (4)

  • Finally we can find the third displacement θ₃, applying the same kinematic equation as in (2), taking into account that the angular initial speed is not zero anymore:

       \omega_{f2}^{2} - \omega_{o2}^{2} = 2* \alpha *\Delta\theta (5)

  • Replacing by the givens (α, ωf₂) and ω₀₂ from (1) we can solve for Δθ as follows:

      \theta_{3} = \frac{(\omega_{f2})^{2}- (\omega_{f1}) ^{2} }{2*\alpha } = \frac{(2.42rad/s^{2}) -(4.9rad/sec)^{2}}{2*(-2.63*e-3rad/sec2)} = 3451.25 rad (6)

  • The total angular displacement is just the sum of (3), (4) and (6):
  • Δθ = θ₁ + θ₂ + θ₃ = 5044.12 rad + 7252 rad + 3451.25 rad
  • ⇒ Δθ = 15747.37 rad.

a 4kg box is resting on top of a shelf that is 2m high, what is the boxs gravitational potential relative to the floor​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

80 J

Explanation:

PE = mgh

PE = (4 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m)

PE = 78.4 J and with sig figs, it would be 80 J
