Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?

Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or <span>up-thrust.  Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object.  Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.</span>

<span>So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).</span>

A pendulum of 50 cm long consists of small ball of 2kg starts swinging down from height of 45cm at rest. the ball swings down an
Ket [755]

Assuming that all energy of the small ball is transferred to the bigger ball upon impact, then we can say that:

Potential Energy of the small ball = Kinetic Energy of the bigger ball

Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height

Since the small ball start at 45 cm, then the height covered during the swinging movement is only:

height = 50 cm – 45 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Calculating for Potential Energy, PE:

PE = 2 kg * 9.8 m / s^2 * 0.05 m = 0.98 J

Therefore, maximum kinetic energy of the bigger ball is:

<span>Max KE = PE = 0.98 J</span>

A billiard ball collides with a second identical ball in an elastic head-on collision. What is the kinetic energy of the system
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, we were made to understand that the collision between the two billiard balls was an elastic collision. Hence, an elastic collision is one in which the kinetic energy is conserved. Meaning the kinetic energy before the collision is still retained after the collision.

Kinetic energy before collision = kinetic energy after collision

1/2mv^2 = 1/2mv^2

There was no gain nor loss in energy

How does the change in the sa/v ratio compare with the change in distance from the center of the cell to the nearest face?
Ivanshal [37]
<span>Answer: I'm pretty sure the SA / V ratio would get smaller. Assume that the cell is more or less spherical. SA = 4(pi)r^2, while V = (3/4)(pi)r^3. The ratio = (4(pi)r^2)/((3/4)(pi)r^3), which can be simplified to 3/r. Thus, the larger r gets, the smaller the ratio becomes.</span>
