Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

Buoyant Force: This is also called upthrust, It can be defined as the force which act upward exerted by a fluid when an object is placed in it.

The S.I unit is Newton.

From the question,

Buoyant force = Weight of the object in air- weight of the object when submerged in water.

U = W-W'.......................... Equation 1

Where U = upthrust, W = weight in air, W' = weight when submerged in water.

Given: W = 3 N, W' = 2 N

Substitute into equation 1

U = 3-2

W = 1 N

A proton moving at 8.00 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.72 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.20 10-1
gladu [14]

Answer:

19.1 deg

Explanation:

v = speed of the proton = 8 x 10⁶ m/s

B = magnitude of the magnetic field = 1.72 T

q = magnitude of charge on the proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

F = magnitude of magnetic force on the proton = 7.20 x 10⁻¹³ N

θ = Angle between proton's velocity and magnetic field

magnitude of magnetic force on the proton is given as

F = q v B Sinθ

7.20 x 10⁻¹³ = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (8 x 10⁶) (1.72) Sinθ

Sinθ = 0.327

θ = 19.1 deg

You have a 100 ohm resistor. How
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

R2 = 300 Ohms

Explanation:

Let the two resistors be R1 and R2 respectively.

RT is the total equivalent resistance.

Given the following data;

R1 = 100 Ohms

RT = 75 Ohms

To find R2;

Mathematically, the total equivalent resistance of resistors connected in parallel is given by the formula;

RT = \frac {R1*R2}{R1 + R2}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

75 = \frac {100*R2}{100 + R2}

Cross-multiplying, we have;

75 * (100 + R2) = 100R2

7500 + 75R2 = 100R2

7500 = 100R2 - 75R2

7500 = 25R2

R2 = 7500/25

R2 = 300 Ohms

A force of 200 N stretches a spring 30 cm. What is the spring constant of the spring? How far would this spring stretch with a f
bija089 [108]

Hooke's Law

F = k. Δx

Δx = 30 cm = 0.3 m

200 = k . 0.3

\tt k =\dfrac{200}{0.3}= 666.6

the spring stretch for 100 N:

\tt \Delta x=\dfrac{100}{666.6}=0.15=15\:cm

A rock is suspended by a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the string is 43.8 N . When the rock is totally i
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Density of unknown liquid is 2047 kg/m^3

Explanation:

When rock is suspended in air then the weight of the rock is counter balanced by the tension force in the string

So here we have

T = mg = 43.8 N

now when the rock is immersed in water then the tension in the string is and buoyancy force due to water is counter balanced by the weight of the object

so here we have

T_1 + F_b = mg

31.3 + F_b = 43.8

F_b = 43.8 - 31.3 = 12.5 N

now we have

(1000)V(9.81) = 12.5

V = 1.27 \times 10^{-3} m^3

now when the rock is immersed into other liquid then we have

T_2 + F_b' = mg

18.3 + F_b' = 43.8

F_b' = 25.5 N

now we have

\rho(1.27 \times 10^{-3})(9.81) = 25.5

\rho = 2047 kg/m^3

A fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0 kg fish from a dock that is 2.0 m above the water. He is using lightweight fishing line
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The least amount of time in which the fisherman can raise the fish to the  dock without losing it is t= 2 seconds.

Explanation:

m= 5 kg

h= 2m

Fmax= 54 N

g= 9.8 m/s²

W= m * g

W= 49 N

F= Fmax - W

F= 5 N

F=m*a

a= F/m

a= 1 m/s²

h= a * t²/2

t= √(2*h/a)

t= 2 seconds
