A 10-kg piece of aluminum sits at the bottom of a lake, right next to a 10-kg piece of lead, which is much denser than aluminum.

Which one has the greater buoyant force on it? A) Both have the same buoyant force.B) the aluminumC) the leadD) It cannot be determined without knowing their volumes.

Answer:

B) the aluminum

Explanation:

The density of an object is proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to its volume. Since lead is denser than aluminum and both pieces have the same mass, then the aluminum piece has a larger volume and due to this, it will also displace more fluid. The buoyant force is proportional to the volume of the displaced fluid. Therefore, the buoyant force on aluminum is greater.

Imagine you had a bar of gold and decided to cut in half. You repeated this process until eventually you could no longer cut the
nydimaria [60]

This would prove that gold is an <em>element</em>.  No matter how far down you
examine it, you never find any particles of anything except gold.

An example of a different case is salt. 
-- Imagine you had a block of salt and decided to cut it in half.
-- If you repeated this process, then eventually, at some point, you'd have
a tiny particle of salt in front of you, just like before.  BUT ...
-- Just as you were getting ready to cut this one in half, you'd notice that this
particle of salt is different.  It's one atom of sodium stuck to one atom of chlorine,
and if you cut it in half, you would not have ANY salt.   <span />

This would prove that salt is a <em><u>compound</u></em>, made of atoms of two or more elements.

Moreover, the work done on an object by a net force is equals to the change in kinetic energy of the object, which is expressed as W = KEf - KEi. </span></span></span>
<span>Therefore, if the hammer hits the nail with twice the speed, it corresponds to 4 times the energy and four times the driving distance. If the hammer hits with three times the speed, the driving distance is 9 times as much.</span>

goblinko [34]
Let distance be x.

Time in going, t 1 = x/50

Time in coming, t 2 = x/40

Total time T = x/40 +x/50 = 9x/200

Average speed = total distance/ total time

=( x+x)/(9x/200)= 2x ×200/9x = 400/9 = 44.44 km/h

A 0.600 m long pendulum is used to determine the acceleration due to gravity on a distant planet. If 20 complete oscillation are
givi [52]

Answer :

Explanation :

It is given that,

length of pendulum, l = 0.6 m

Number of oscillation, n = 20

time, t = 35.5 seconds

so, Time period, T=\dfrac{t}{n}

T=\dfrac{35.5s}{20}

we know that the time period of pendulum is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}

g=\dfrac{4\pi^2l}{T^2}

g=\dfrac{4\times(3.14)^2\times 0.6 \times (20)^2}{(35.5s)^2}

g=7.51\ m/s^2

or

g=7.52\ m/s^2
