Suppose you throw a cube-shaped object and a spherical-shaped object of equal volume in the same volume of water. The ball sinks

and the cube floats. Which explains why this might be?
The objects probably have different surface areas.



The objects probably have different densities.



In general, cubes float better than spheres because they are flatter.

The objects have different densities
They objects may possess the same volume; however, due to a difference in density, they do not possess the same mass within that volume. This means that they experience a different gravitational force, which causes one to sink and the other to float.

A heater has resistance of 10 ohms. It operates at 120 volts. a. What is the current through the heater?​
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

  I = 12 A

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the relationship that voltage is proportional to the product of current and resistance

           V = I R

            I = V / R

             

let's calculate

            I = 120/10

            I = 12 A

What is the best explanation of work?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

<u>Work done by the force acting on a body is defined as the product of force and displacement of the body in the direction of the force.</u><u> </u> It is a scalar quantity. Force acting on the body must produce a displacement for the work is to be done by the force. Thus, for the work to be done, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

A force must be applied and the applied force must produce a displacement in any direction except perpendicular to the direction of the force.

Mathematically,

work = force \times  \: displacement

( in the direction of force)

i.e W= F•D

The SI unit of force is Newton (N) and that of displacement of a metre (M). So the unit of work is Newton metre(Nm) which is joule (J).

Thus, one joule work is said to be done when one Newton force displaces a body through one metre in its own direction.

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Consider a room that is initially at the outdoor temperature of 208C. The room contains a 40-W lightbulb, a 110-W TV set, a 300-
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The rate of increase of the energy content of the room when all the eletrical devices are on is 1650 W.

Explanation:

From conservation of energy,

Rate of energy transfer (\dfrac{dE}{dt}) = Rate of change of energy within the room (E_{in} - E_{out}).

As according to the problem no heat transfer occurs through the walls of the room we can assume that there is no energy transferred to the outside of the room, i.e., E_{out} = 0.

If all the electric devices are on inside the room, then the rate of increase of energy is equal to the power (P_{in}) consumed bt the electrical devices inside the room. Therefore we can write,

\dfrac{dE}{dt} = \dfrac{dE_{in}}{dt} = P_{in} = P_{bulb} + P_{TV} + P_{refrigerator} + P_{iron} = (40 + 110 + 300 + 1200)~W = 1650~W
