How is pressure related to buoyant force

Chemistry
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
3 0

Buoyancy also known as buoyant force is the  force exerted on an object that is wholly or partly immersed in a fluid. Buoyancy acts upward for the kind of situations encountered in everyday experience.

 It is caused by differences in pressure acting on opposite sides of an object immersed in a static fluid. 

1.The pressure on the bottom of an object is greater than at its top (because pressure increases with depth).

2. The force on the bottom pushes up and the force at the top pushes down (since force is normal to the surface)

3. The direction of the net force due to the fluid is upward.

A laser used to read CDs emits red light of wavelength 700 nm. How many photons does it emit each second if its power is?(a) 0.1
Elenna [48]

power = work/time

watt = joule/sec

a) power = 0.10 watt = 0.1joules/sec

work = power * time

= 0.10 * 1 =0.1joules

work is northing but energy

therefore energy is 0.1joules

according to planks quantum theory E = nhν where nis the no. of photons ; h is planks constant; ν isfrequency

hence, n = E/hν

or n = Eλ/hc (ν = c/λ)

n = (0.1*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^18photons

b) similar to the above calculation

here E = 1.0joules

n = (1.0*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^17photons

Homework 1
Bond [772]

Answer:

average for silk =141"

average for cotton =96"

average for nylon = 70"

if you desire a slower falling parachute to protect the body from damage,

silk is the best

if you desire a faster falling parachute to escape enemy bullets,

nylon is the best

Explanation:

Homework 1

Problem Solving

1. Kelvin and Xavier were doing an investigation on parachutes. One of them suggested that the type of material the parachute was made from had an effect on how long it took to reach the ground. Their results are given in

the table below.

(a) Calculate the average time in seconds for each material.

Time taken for parachute to reach the ground (seconds)

MATERIAL

1st TRY

2nd TRY

3rd TRY

AVERAGE

Sik

144

140  average of 3 = 141

139

Cotton

98

96   average of 3  = 96

How do oceanographers define salinity?
Studentka2010 [4]

The oceanographers define salinity by the number of grams of salt per kilogram of water.  

Salinity is illustrated as how much salt is present in the given amount of water. It is dependent upon how much salt is found in the ocean in the specific regions. If there is a sunny environment, it may evaporate an ample amount of water, and leave behind a lot of salt, thus, the water has more salinity.  

The salinity of the ocean is usually measured in Practical Salinity Unit (PSU), it is a unit based on the characteristics of seawater conductivity.
