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? Please explain. Answer: B - the aluminum
A) Both have the same buoyant force.
B) the aluminum
C) the lead
D) It cannot be determined without knowing their volumes.

The buoyant force on a submerged object is the weight of the water it displaces ... the water it pushes out of the way.  That amount is simply the volume of the submerged object.  So the more volume is submerged, the greater will be the buoyant force acting on it.

Since Aluminum is less-dense than lead, the same 10kg of Aluminum needs a bigger container to hold it than 10kg of lead needs.  The aluminum needs  more volume to hold the same mass.

The aluminum displaces more water.  So the buoyant force acting on the <em>aluminum</em> is greater than the buoyant force acting on the lead.<em> (B) </em>.

I'm guessing this is a big part of the reason why fishing sinkers are not made of aluminum.

A 0.600 kg toy car is powered by one 9V battery (9.00 V) connected directly to a small DC motor. The car has an effective energy
valina [46]

Answer:

The average current I supplied to the cars motor is 0.225 Amperes.

Explanation:

The mass of the toy car is given as, m = 0.6 kg

The toy car operates at a steady speed of, v =  3.43 m/s.

It achieves the steady speed after a time, t = 5.69 seconds.

The total kinetic energy of the car is given by,

E = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

= 0.5 × 0.6 × (3.43)^2

= 3.53 Joules

Since the efficiency of the motor is 30.6%  = 0.306

The electrical energy equivalent is supplied to motor  = \frac{3.53}{0.306}  = 11.54 Joules.

The electrical energy is given by P × t = I × V × t  = 11.54 Joules

P is the electric power where P = I × V where V is the voltage of the cell and is the average current, I.

Therefore we can write I × 9 × 5.69 = 11.54 Joules.

So the average current I = \frac{11.54}{9 \times 5.69 } = 0.225 Amperes.

Answer: catching the ball is a better choice.

Explanation:

The collision of 2 objects involves involves large impact force since the force is inversely proportional to the time in which the momentum of the object changes.

Mathematically

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

If we catch the ball we increase the time in which the momentum of the ball is decreased thus the impact force that acts on us is lower as larger time is allowed for the ball to decrease it's momentum.

If we allow the ball to hit us the momentum of the ball changes in a short period of time thus applying a large impact force on our body thus increasing the chances of toppling.

A 10 gram ball is rolling at 3 m/s. What is the energy the ball has?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

K = 0.045 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a ball, m = 10 g = 0.01 kg

Speed of the ball, v = 3 m/s

To find,

The energy of the ball.

Solution,

Due  to the motion of the ball, it will have kinetic energy. It can be given by the formula as follows :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.01\times 3^2\\\\K=0.045\ J

So, the ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.045 J.
