Answer:

c) up, less than the weight of the anchor

Explanation:

An object floats when the weight of the water the object displaces is equal to the weight of the object. In this case the weight of the anchor and the weight of the water it displaces is not the same so it sinks. Buoyancy is the force that acts on body when it is in water.

When buoyancy is less than the force that the object is generating due to gravity the object sinks. Buoyancy always acts up.

A DJ starts up her phonograph player. The turntable accelerates uniformly from rest, and takes t1 = 11.9 seconds to get up to it

Degger [83]

Answer:

a) $\omega_1=8.168\,rad.s^{-1}$

b) $n_1=7.735 \,rev$

c) $\alpha_1 =0.6864\,rad.s^{-2}$

d) $\alpha_2=4.1454\,rad.s^{-2}$

e) $t_2=1.061\,s$

Explanation:

Given that:

initial speed of turntable, $N_0=0\,rpm\Rightarrow \omega_0=0\,rad.s^{-1}$

full speed of rotation, $N_1=78 \,rpm\Rightarrow \omega_1=\frac{78\times 2\pi}{60}=8.168\,rad.s^{-1}$

time taken to reach full speed from rest, $t_1=11.9\,s$

final speed after the change, $N_2=120\,rpm\Rightarrow \omega_2=\frac{120\times 2\pi}{60}=12.5664\,rad.s^{-1}$

no. of revolutions made to reach the new final speed, $n_2=11\,rev$

(a)

∵ 1 rev = 2π radians

∴ angular speed ω:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi.N}{60}\, rad.s^{-1}$

where N = angular speed in rpm.

putting the respective values from case 1 we've

$\omega_1=\frac{2\pi\times 78}{60}\, rad.s^{-1}$

$\omega_1=8.168\,rad.s^{-1}$

(c)

using the equation of motion:

$\omega_1=\omega_0+\alpha . t_1$

here α is the angular acceleration

$78=0+\alpha_1\times 11.9$

$\alpha_1 = \frac{8.168 }{11.9}$

$\alpha_1 =0.6864\,rad.s^{-2}$

(b)

using the equation of motion:

$\omega_1\,^2=\omega_0\,^2+2.\alpha_1 .n_1$

$8.168^2=0^2+2\times 0.6864\times n_1$

$n_1=48.6003\,rad$

$n_1=\frac{48.6003}{2\pi}$

$n_1=7.735\, rev$

(d)

using equation of motion:

$\omega_2\,^2=\omega_1\,^2+2.\alpha_2 .n_2$

$12.5664^2=8.168^2+2\alpha_2\times 11$

$\alpha_2=4.1454\,rad.s^{-2}$

(e)

using the equation of motion:

$\omega_2=\omega_1+\alpha_2 . t_2$

$12.5664=8.168+4.1454\times t_2$

$t_2=1.061\,s$

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy

cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference. So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative.

What that means is: You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom. Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes. So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

The image shows the positions of a car on a roller coaster track. Arrange the cars in order based on their gravitational potenti

RideAnS [48]

Correct order, from lowest potential energy to highest potential energy:

E - C - D - B - A

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the car is given by:

$U=mgh$

where

m is the car's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the car relative to the ground

In the formula, we see that m and g are constant, so the potential energy of the car depends only on its height above the ground, h. The higher the car from the ground, the larger its potential energy. Therefore, the position with least potential energy will be E, since the height is the minimum. Then, C will have more potential energy, because the car is at higher position, and so on: the position with greatest potential energy is A, because the height of the car is maximum.
