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.

What two factors determine how bright a star appears to be in the sky?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

1. Luminosity

2.Apparent brightness

Explanation:

There are two factors on which brightness of star appear to be in the sky

The two factors are

1. Luminosity

2.Apparent brightness

1.Luminosity :It is defined as the total energy emitted by the object in a given time.Luminosity vary with the distance of observer from the star.Luminosity is a intrinsic property which depends on the fundamental chemical composition and structure of the  material.Luminosity is depends on the size of star.Lager the star luminosity will be more.

2.Apparent brightness: It is defined as how bright a star appears from an observer on the earth and the amount of starlight reaching the earth.if the distance is large then the brightness decreases.When the distance of star from us small then the   brightness of star increases.Distance is inversely proportional to brightness of the star.

What is the period of a simple pendulum 47 cm long (a) on the Earth, and ( b) when it is in a freely falling elevator?
Liula [17]

Answer:

a)1.37 s

b)∞ ( Infinite)

Explanation:

Given that

L= 47 cm              ( 1 m =100 cm)

L= 0.47 m

a)

On the earth :

Acceleration due to gravity = g

We know that time period of the simple pendulum given as

T=2\pi\sqrt{ \dfrac{L}{g_{{eff}}}

Here

g_{eff}= g

Now by putting the values

T=2\pi \times\sqrt{ \dfrac{0.47}{9.81}}

T=1.37 s

b)

Free falling elevator :

When elevator is falling freely then

g_{eff}= 0            ( This is case of weightless motion)

Therefore

T=2\pi\sqrt{ \dfrac{L}{0}

T=∞  (Infinite)
