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 solid sphere has a temperature of 614 K. The sphere is melted down and recast into a cube that has the same emissivity and emi
krok68 [10]

Answer:581.87 K

Explanation:

Given

Sphere is melted to form a square

Let the radius of sphere be r and square has a side a

Therefore

\frac{4\pi}{3}r^3=a^3

Surface area of sphere A_s=4\pi r^2

Surface area of cube A_c=6a^2

Total emmisive remains same

Thus P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4

A_sT_s^4=A_cT_c^4

\frac{T_c^4}{T_s^4}=\frac{A_s}{A_c}

\frac{T_c^4}{T_s^4}=\frac{1}{2}\times \left ( \frac{4\pi}{3}\right )^{\frac{1}{3}}

\frac{T_c}{T_s}=\frac{1}{2^{0.25}}\times \left ( \frac{4\pi}{3}\right )^{\frac{1}{12}}

T_c=T_s\times \frac{1}{2^{0.25}}\times \left ( \frac{4\pi}{3}\right )^{\frac{1}{12}}

T_c=614\times \frac{1.12679}{1.189}

T_c=581.87 K

George is applying a downward force of 50N to and object that has a mass of 50kg. What is the normal force (FN) of the object wh
attashe74 [19]

The normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction

<u>Explanation:</u>

As George is applying a downward force, the normal force will be in the upward direction. The normal force will be exerted due to the acceleration due to gravity exerted on the object.

So, as per Newton's second law, the normal force acting on the object can be measured by the product of mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object.

But as the acceleration due to gravity is a downward acting acceleration and the normal force is a upward acting force, so the acceleration will be having a negative sign in the formula.

Normal\ force = Mass \times Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity

Here, acceleration due to gravity g = -10 m/s² and mass is given as 50 kg, then

Normal force = 50 × (-10) = -500 N

So, the normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction.
