Answer:
There is no Buoyant force.
The block will only float to the surface when the pressed face is released
Explanation:
There would be no Buoyancy force on the cube of Oak wood when one face is pressed flat against the Bottom of a tank and this is simply because there is no upward force acting on the side of the cube that is pressed against the bottom
Buoyant force is simply caused by the pressure difference between the water over and under an object immersed in water . hence since there is no water pressure under the immersed cube there will be no pressure difference between the water under and over the cube of oak wood immersed in the water.
Because they are placed in different habitable zones
Answer:
The displacement is 
The distance is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The height from which the ball is dropped is 
The height attained at the first bounce is 
The height attained at the second bounce is 
The height attained at the third bounce is 
Note : When calculating displacement we consider the direction of motion
Generally given that upward is positive the total displacement of the ball is mathematically represented as

Here the 0 show that there was no bounce back to the point where Billy released the ball

=> 
Generally the distance covered by the ball is mathematically represented as

The 2 shows that the ball traveled the height two times

=>
