The ship floats in water due to the buoyancy Fb that is given by the equation:

Fb=ρgV, where ρ is the density of the liquid, g=9.81 m/s² is the acceleration of the force of gravity and V is volume of the displaced liquid.

The density of fresh water is ρ₁=1000 kg/m³.

The density of salt water is in average ρ₂=1025 kg/m³.

To compare the volumes of liquids that are displaced by the ship we can take the ratio of buoyancy of salt water Fb₂ and the buoyancy of fresh water Fb₁.

The gravity force of the ship Fg=mg, where m is the mass of the ship and g=9.81  m/s², is equal to the force of buoyancy Fb₁ and Fb₂ because the mass of the ship doesn't change:
 
Fg=Fb₁ and Fg=Fb₂. This means Fb₁=Fb₂.

Now we can write:

Fb₂/Fb₁=(ρ₂gV₂)/(ρ₁gV₁), since Fb₁=Fb₂, they cancel out:

1/1=1=(ρ₂gV₂)/(ρ₁gV₁), g also cancels out:

(ρ₂V₂)/(ρ₁V₁)=1, now we can input ρ₁=1000 kg/m³ and ρ₂=1025 kg/m³

(1025V₂)/(1000V₁)=1

1.025(V₂/V₁)=1

V₂/V₁=1/1.025=0.9756, we multiply by V₁

V₂=0.9756V₁

Volume of salt water V₂ displaced by the ship is smaller than the volume of sweet water V₁ because the force of buoyancy of salt water is greater than the force of fresh water because salt water is more dense than fresh water.

How do i find the number of leptons in an atom??
Serjik [45]

Answer:

In particle physics, a lepton is an elementary particle of half-integer spin (spin 1⁄2) that does not undergo strong interactions.[1] Two main classes of leptons exist: charged leptons (also known as the electron-like leptons or muons), and neutral leptons (better known as neutrinos). Charged leptons can combine with other particles to form various composite particles such as atoms and positronium, while neutrinos rarely interact with anything, and are consequently rarely observed. The best known of all leptons is the electron.

A lightweight vertical spring of force constant k has its lower end mounted on a table. You compress the spring by a distance d,
shusha [124]

Answer:

v=d\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we can do an analysis of the energies involved in the system. Basically the addition of the initial potential energy of the spring and the kinetic energy of the mass should be the same as the addition of the final potential energy of the spring and the kinetic energy of the block. So we get the following equation:

U_{0}+K_{0}=U_{f}+K_{f}

In this case, since the block is moving from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero. When the block loses contact with the spring, the final potential energy of the spring will be zero, so the equation simplifies to:

U_{0}=K_{f}

The initial potential energy of the spring is given by the equation:

U_{0}=\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}

the Kinetic energy of the block is then given by the equation:

K_{f}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2}

so we can now set them both equal to each other, so we get:

=\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2}

This new equation can be simplified if we multiplied both sides of the equation by a 2, so we get:

kd^{2}=mv_{f}^{2}

so now we can solve this for the final velocity, so we get:

v=d\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}
