If a cruise ship is having troubles with buoyancy, then spread the weight of the ship over a greater volume.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Buoyancy is the upward thrusting phenomenon of water acting on any object immersed partially or fully in water body. Hence, it creates the buoyant forces that is inversely proportionate to the immersing body's density. If the immersing body's density is higher than the density of the immersing medium then the body will get completely immersed in the water.

Similarly, in case of less, the buoyant forces act on the body will prevent it from complete immersion and allow it to float on water. Mostly cruise ships and other navy vessels use this phenomenon to keep on floating on surface of water.

In the present condition, the solution for buoyancy problem faced by a cruise ship can be solved by decreasing the density of the ship. And the ship's density can be decreased by increasing the ship's volume or by spreading the ship's weight over a greater volume.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

16.3 ft/s

Explanation:

Let d=distance

and

x = length of shadow.

Therfore,

x=(d + x)

 = 6/15

So,

    15x = 6x + 6d

     9x = 6d.

x = (2/3)d.

As we know that:

dx=dt

   = (2/3) (d/dt) 

Also,

Given:

d(d)=dt

     = 7 ft/s

Thus,

d(d + x)=dt

           = (7/3)d (d/dt)

Substitute, d= 7  

d(d + x) = 49/3 ft/s.

Hence,

d(d + x) = 16.3 ft/s.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

measuring the zero intensity point, we can deduce the movement of the screen.

The distance from the center of the pattern to the first zero is proportional to the distance to the screen,

Explanation:

The expression for the diffraction phenomenon is

           a sin θ = m λ

for the case of destructive interference. In general the detection screen is quite far from the grid, let's use trigonometry to find the angles

           tan θ = y / L

     

in these experiments the angles are small

          tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

          sunt θ = y / L

we substitute

          a \frac{y}{L}= m  λ

           y = m L λ / a

therefore, by carefully measuring the zero intensity point, we can deduce the movement of the screen.

 

The distance from the center of the pattern to the first zero is proportional to the distance to the screen, so you can know where the displacement occurs, it should be clarified that these displacements are very small so the measurement system must be capable To measure quantities on the order of hundredths of a millimeter, a micrometer screw could be used.

We can't tell without more information. We know it will be higher than 40 and lower than 75, but we don't know exactly where it will settle. In order to work that out, we would need to know the volumes of the water and the cube, and WHAT metal the cube is made of.
