If an object suspended by a scale shows a weight of 3 N in air, and 2 N when submerged in water, the buoyant force on the submer

ged object is __________.
Physics
1 answer:
Alex Ar [27]3 years ago

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

Which of the following is a consequence of the special theory of relativity?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Specifically, Special Relativity showed us that space and time are not independent of one another but can be mixed into each other and therefore must be considered as the same object, which we shall denote as space-time. The consequences of space/time mixing are: time dilation. and length contraction.

A bobsledder pushes her sled across horizontal snow to get it going, then jumps in. After she jumps in, the sled gradually slows
anastassius [24]

Answer:

In the vertical direction the acting forces are the normal force and the weight of the bobsleder plus the sled. In the horizontal direction the acting force is the friciton force.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a graphic representation of the forces acting on the sled after the bobsleder jumped in.

In the vertical direction, the acting forces are the normal force (N) and the weight of the sled plus the bobsledder (W).

Since the sled is not being accelerated in the vertical direction, the sum of forces in that direction is zero:

∑Fy = W + N = 0 ⇒ W = N

The weight is calculated as follows:

W = (mb + ms) · g

Where:

mb = mass of the bobsleder.

ms = mass of the sled.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

In the horizontal direction the only acting force is the friction force (Fr). The friction force is calculated a follows:

Fr = N · μ

Where:

N = normal force.

μ = kinetic friction coefficient.

Since N = W = (mb + ms) · g

Fr = (mb + ms) · g · μ

If we want to find the acceleration of the sled after the bobsleder jumps in, we can apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m · a

Where "a" is the acceleration and "m" is the mass of the object (in this case, the mass of bobsleder plus the mass of the sled).

∑F = Fr =  (mb + ms) · g · μ =  (mb + ms) · a

(mb + ms) · g · μ =  (mb + ms) · a

Solving for "a":

g · μ = a

Problem 8 I estimate that the Gauss gun (a solenoid) is wound with 500 turns over a distance of 15cm with an average radius of 1
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Energy stored, U = 66.6 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns in the solenoid, n = 500

Radius of solenoid, r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

Distance, d = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Let U is the energy stored in the solenoid. Its formula is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2

L is the self inductance of the solenoid

L=\mu_o N^2A d

N is the no of turns per unit length

L=\mu_o (n/d)^2A d

L=\dfrac{4\pi\cdot10^{-7}\cdot500^{2}\cdot\pi\cdot\left(0.015\right)^{2}}{0.15}

L = 0.00148 Henry

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00148\times 300^2

U = 66.6 J

Out of given options, the correct option for the energy stored in the solenoid is 70 J. So, the correct option is (a) "70 J".

A pendulum of length L is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is at rest the period of the pendulum is
Stolb23 [73]
<h2>Option A is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

When an elevator moves upward with consonant acceleration a, the overall acceleration on the body is given by

                        a' = a + g

So acceleration of pendulum is a + g.

We have equation for period of simple pendulum

                     T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{a'}}

In normal case a' = g here a' is more.

From the equation we can see that period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to square root of acceleration.

Since acceleration increases period decreases.

Option A is the correct answer.
