The bouyancy force is:  

Since the wood-lead system is completely submerged, the bouyancy force 

 is FB = ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb, where Ďw is the density of water,Vl 

 is the volume of 

 the piece of lead and Vb is the volume of the wooden block. The weight of the

  combined lead and wooden block is: W = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb. Since the system is 

 in equilibrium, the bouyancy force must be equal to the total weight: 

 ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb 

 now we can solve for the volume of lead: 

 ĎwgVl â’ ĎlgVl = ĎbgVb â’ ĎwgVb 

 Vl(Ďw â’ Ďl) = Vb(Ďb â’ Ďw) 

 Vl =   

 Ďbâ’Ďw 

 Ďwâ’Ďl   

 Vb 

 Now we substitute the values for the density of lead Ďl = 11.3 Ă— 103kg/m3  , 

 the density of the wood and the density of water Ďw = 1000kg/m3 

 . We get: 

 Vl =   

 600â’1000 

 1000â’11300 

 (0.6m Ă— 0.25m Ă— 0.08m) = 4.66 Ă— 10â’4m3

When you let the air go out of a balloon the balloon moves or shoots like a rocket. Would this happen if there was no surroundin
Pie

Answer:

The balloon would still move like a rocket

Explanation:

The principle of work of this system is the Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action), object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"

In this problem, we can identify the balloon as object A and the air inside the balloon as object B. As the air goes out from the balloon, the balloon exerts a force (backward) on the air, and as a result of Newton's 3rd law, the air exerts an equal and opposite force (forward) on the balloon, making it moving forward.

This mechanism is not affected by the presence or absence of surrounding air: in fact, this mechanism also works in free space, where there is no air (and in fact, rockets also moves in space using this system, despite the absence of air).

Calculate the gravitational potential energy is a bicycle of mass 20kg and its rider of mass 50kg cycle to the top of a hill 120
Travka [436]

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy can be calculated with the following formula:

mgh

Where m is mass, g is Gravitational Field Strength, and h is height. GFS on Earth is always 9.81, the combined mass of the cyclist and the bicycle is 70, and the height is 120. Multiplying these values together, we get:

82,404J.

If earth had no atmosphere would a falling object ever reach terminal velocity
Bond [772]
Terminal velocity is caused by friction between an object and the atmosphere, causing it to only go so fast.  If there is no atmosphere, there is no friction between the object, so it will accelerate forever.
