Explain why a steel block sinks but a steel ship floats

uysha [10]

Answer:

Fluids exert forces on objects because of many molecules of the fluid that continuously collide with the surfaces of the object immersed in the fluid. ... A steel boat floats on water but a steel block does not because the block has more weight than the steel boat due to the buoyant force.

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to machines?

allsm [11]

Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. ... This principle is referred to as the first law of thermodynamics or the law of energy conservation. The law applies to all systems both large and small, and, again, it states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.

. If she

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

9 meters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Avi is, $m=40\ kg$

Spring constant is, $k=176,400\ N/m$

Compression in the spring is, $x=20\ cm=0.20\ m$

Let the maximum height reached be 'h' m.

Now, as the spring is compressed, there is elastic potential energy stored in the spring. This elastic potential energy is transferred to Avi in the form of gravitational potential energy.

So, by law of conservation of energy, decrease in elastic potential energy is equal to increase in gravitational potential energy.

Decrease in elastic potential energy is given as:

$EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\EPE=\frac{1}{2}\times 176400\times (0.20)^2\\EPE=88200\times 0.04=3528\ J$

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is given as:

$GPE=mgh=40\times 9.8\times h=392h$

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is equal decrease in elastic potential energy. Therefore,

$392h=3528\\\\h=\frac{3528}{392}\\\\h=9\ m$

Therefore, Avi will reach a maximum height of 9 meters.
