Question:

A cork floats on the surface of an incompressible liquid in a container exposed to atmospheric pressure. The container is then sealed and the air above the liquid is evacuated. The cork:

A. sinks slightly

B. rises slightly

C. floats at the same height

D. bobs up and down about its old position

Answer:

The correct answer is C) floats at the same height

Explanation:

The liquid is incompressible because its density very high and leaves no room for further compaction whether or not there is atmospheric pressure. So when you put a cork on the liquid, pressure or no pressure, there is no displacement hence it floats on the same height regardless of the absence of air.

Cheers!

When a certain rubber band is stretched a distance x, it exerts a restoring force of magnitude f = ax, where a is a constant. th

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Given:
F = ax
where
x = distance by which the rubber band is stretched
a = constant

The work done in stretching the rubber band from x = 0 to x = L is
$W=\int_{0}^{L} Fdx = \int_{0}^{L}ax \, dx = \frac{a}{2} [x^{2} ]_{0}^{L} = \frac{aL^{2}}{2}$

Answer: $\frac{aL^{2}}{2}$

A cyclist intends to cycle up a 7.70o hill whose vertical height is 126m. Assuming the mass of bicycle plus person is 75.0kg, ca

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

92704.5 J

596.44737 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of person + bicycle = 75 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Vertical height = 126 m

$\theta$ = Angle = 7.7°
