A hollow plastic sphere is held below the surface of a fresh-water lake by a cord anchored to the bottom of the lake. The sphere

has a volume of 0.650 cubic meters and the tension in the cord is 900 N. a) Calculate the buoyant force exerted by the water on the sphere. b) what is the mass of the sphere? c) the cord breaks and the sphere rises to the surface. When the sphere comes to rest, what fraction of its volume will be submerged?

Answer: a) B = 6811N

              b) m = 603.2kg

              c) 86.8%

Explanation: <em>Buoyant force</em> is a force a fluid exerts on a submerged object.

It can be calculated as:

B=\rho_{fluid}.V_{obj}.g

where:

\rho_{fluid} is density of the fluid the object is in;

V_{obj} is volume of the object;

g is acceleration due to gravity, is constant and equals 9.8m/s²

a) For the hollow plastic sphere, density of water is 1000kg/m³:

B=10^{3}.0.695.9.8

B = 6811N

b) Anchored to the bottom, the forces acting on the sphere are <u>Buoyant</u>, <u>Tension</u> and <u>Force due to gravity</u>:

B = T + F_{g}

B = T + mg

mg = B - T

m=\frac{B - T}{g}

Calculating:

m=\frac{6811 - 900}{9.8}

m = 603.2kg

c) When the shpere comes to rest on the surface of the water, there are only <u>buoyant</u> <u>and</u> <u>gravity</u> acting on it:

B = m.g

\rho_{w}.V_{sub}.g=m.g

V_{sub}=\frac{m}{\rho_{w}}

V_{sub}=\frac{603.2}{1000}

V_{sub} = 0.6032m³

Fraction of the submerged volume is:

\frac{V_{sub}}{V_{obj}} = \frac{0.6932}{0.695} = 0.868

Several forces act on a ball. Which of the following statements must be true? The velocity and acceleration could be in any dire
mixer [17]

Answer:

The velocity could be in any direction, but the acceleration is in the direction of the resultant force.

Explanation:

The ball (assuming that we can treat it as a point mass) must obey Newton's 2nd Law, that states that the acceleration produced by a force, is proportional to the applied force, being the mass the proportionality constant.

As the force is the vector, and the mass an scalar, the acceleration vector must be in the same direction as the force vector.

Velocity, instead, can be in any direction: When an object is speeding up is in the same direction as the acceleration, while if it is slowing down, it has just the opposite.

Buildings are more dense than the surrounding air. This means that they have more _____ per volume than the air and will stay on
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

<em>mass</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Density is the measure of how much mass of a substance is squeezed into a given volume of that substance. <em>It is the mass per unit volume</em>, and substances with lesser density will float in materials with denser density. Buildings are generally more obviously denser that air, if not we'll see then float upwards into the atmosphere, but that is not the case. Different liquids too can separate and form layers on one another due to their differences in volume.
