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 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.

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).

More mass, more inertia, less speed, more momentum because momentum is depends its mass and speed. Hope it helps

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The t

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v$ (1)

Where:

$m_{S}$ , $m_{C}$ - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

$v_{S}$ , $v_{C}$ - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m_{S} = 2200\,kg$ , $m_{C} = 2000\,kg$ , $v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v -m_{C}\cdot v_{C}$

$v_{S} = \frac{(m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v - m_{C}\cdot v_{C}}{m_{S}}$

$v_{S} = \left(1+\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \right)\cdot v - \frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \cdot v_{C}$

$v_{S} = v +\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}}\cdot (v-v_{C})$

$v_{S} = -15\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(\frac{2000\,kg}{2200\,kg} \right) \cdot \left(-15\,\frac{m}{s}-45\,\frac{m}{s} \right)$

$v_{S} = -69.545\,\frac{m}{s}$

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electric field to move to a position of lower

Vaselesa [24]

Current is created when charges are quickened by an electric field to move where the position of lower temperature. An electric current is a stream of electric charge. In electric circuits, this charge is regularly conveyed by moving electrons in a wire.
