Why does a rock weigh less in water than it does on land?

A small sculpture made of brass (rho brass = 8470 kg/m 3 ) is believed to have a secret central cavity. The weight of the sculpt

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Volume of secret cavity = 4 x 10⁻⁶m³

Explanation:

The weight of the sculpture in air is 15.76 N

Mass of the sculpture = 1.61 kg

Mass = Volume x Density

1.61 = V x 8470

Volume of brass =1.90 x 10⁻⁴ m³

When it is submerged in water, the weight is 13.86 N.

That is

Weight of sculpture - Weight of water displaced = 13.86 N

15.76 - Weight of water displaced = 13.86

Weight of water displaced = 1.9 N

Mass of water displaced = 0.194 kg

Mass = Volume x Density

0.194 = V x 1000

Volume of water displaced =1.94 x 10⁻⁴ m³

Volume of secret cavity = Volume of water displaced - Volume of brass material

Volume of secret cavity = 1.94 x 10⁻⁴-1.94 x 10⁻⁴ = 0.04x 10⁻⁴ = 4 x 10⁻⁶m³

When analyzing forces, it is allowable to break the motion and forces into horizontal and vertical components.

jonny [76]

The statement above is TRUE.

When analyzing forces it is permitted to break the motion and forces into horizontal and vertical components. This is especially true for two dimensional projectile motion, in order to simplify the calculation, the forces and the motion has to be broken down into horizontal and vertical components. The vertical component is affected by the force of gravity while the horizontal component is not affected by gravity for short displacements. With greater displacement, the force of gravity comes into play.

Suppose a 1 Gbps point-to-point link is being set up between the Earth and a new lunar colony. The distance from the moon to Ear

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The time required to send the data from Earth to Moon will be 1.28s while for a two way communication, to send it back to the earth, it will take double time i.e. RTT = 2.56s

Explanation:

Distance between Earth and Moon = 385,000 km = 3.85 x 10⁸m

Speed of data travel = speed of light ≈ 3 x 10⁸m/s

As, v=d/t

t=d/v

$t=\frac{3.85*10^{8} }{3*10^{8}}$
