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.

Recall specific heat of water is 4186 j/kg/C. Find the specific heat of sample.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Shown by explanation;

Explanation:

The heat of the sample = mass ×specific heat capacity of the sample × temperature change(∆T)

Assumption;I assume the mass of the samples are : 109g and 192g

∆T= 30.1-21=8.9°c.

The heat of the samples are for 109g are:

0.109 × 4186 × 8.9 =4060.84J

For 0.192g are;

∆T= 67-30.1-=36.9°c

0.192 × 4186×36.9=29656.97J

A freight car moves along a friction less level railroad track at constant speed. The car is open on top. A large load of coal i
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The velocity of the freight car decreases.

Explanation:

This question is answered by the conservation of momentum principle.

When the freight car is moving at a certain speed, it has a constant momentum.

We will call this M1.

The equation for M1 will be:

M1 = Mass * Speed

Now when the coal is dumped into the freight car, the Mass increases.

Since conservation of momentum states that the momentum will remain the same. We have:

M1 = (Mass of freight + Mass of coal) * Speed

Since M1 is constant, if the mass increases, the speed had to decrease to keep the equation true.

An automobile with an initial speed of 5.13 m/s accelerates uniformly at the rate of 3.0 m/s2. Find the final speed of the car a
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Final velocity v=19.83 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity u =5.13 m/sexc

Acceleration of automobile a=3m/sec^2

Time t =4.9 sec

We have to find the final velocity v

According to first law of motion v = u+at ,here v is the final velocity , a is acceleration and t is time

So v=5.13+3\times 4.9=19.83m/sec

So the final velocity is 19.83 m/sec

Review. A light spring of force constant 3.85 N/m is compressed by 8.00 cm and held between a 0.250-kg block on the left and a 0

The answer is 0.245N.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>
  • A particle or an item that is in motion has a sort of energy called kinetic energy. An item accumulates kinetic energy when work, which involves the transfer of energy, is done on it by exerting a net force.
  • Kinetic energy comes in five forms: radiant, thermal, acoustic, electrical, and mechanical.
  • The energy of a body in motion, or kinetic energy (KE), is essentially the energy of all moving objects. Along with potential energy, which is the stored energy present in objects at rest, it is one of the two primary types of energy.
  • Explain that a moving object's mass and speed are two factors that impact the amount of kinetic energy it will possess.

(b) 0.100

For the block on the left, f_{k} =u_{k} n= 0.100(2.45N)=0.245N.

∑F_{x}=ma_{x}

–0.308N+0.245N=(0.250kg)a

a=−0.252m/s^{2} if the force of static friction is not too large.

For the block on the right, f_{k} =u_{k} n=0.490N. The maximum force of static friction would be larger, so no motion would begin, and the acceleration is zero
