A rubber ball filled with air has a diameter of 24.2 cm and a mass of 0.459 kg. What force is required to hold the ball in equil

ibrium immediately below the surface of water in a swimming pool? (Assume that the volume of the ball does not change. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

To solve this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second Law as well as to the expression of mass as a function of Volume and Density.

From Newton's second law we know that

F= ma

Where,

m = mass

a = acceleration

At the same time we know that the density is given by,

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \rightarrow m = \rho V

Our values are given as,

g = 9.8m/s^2

m =0.459 kg

D=0.242 m

Therefore the Force by Weight is

F_w = mg

F_w = 0.459kg * 9.8m/s^2 = 4.498N

Now the buoyant force acting on the ball is

F_B=\rho V g

The value of the Volume of a Sphere can be calculated as,

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

V =  \frac{4}{3} \pi (0.242/2)^3

V = 0.007420m^3

\rho_w = 1000kg/m^3 \rightarrow Normal conditions

Then,

F_B=0.007420*(1000)*(9.8) = 72.716 N

Therefore the Force net is,

F_{net} = F_B -F_w

F_{net} = 72.716N - 4.498N =68.218 N

Therefore the required Force is 68.218N

You have two identical pure silver ingots. You place one of them in a glass of water and observe it to sink to the bottom. You p
Elis [28]

Answer: a)

Explanation:

The buoyant force, as stated by Archimedes’ principle, is equal to the weight of the liquid that occupies the same volumen as the submerged object, as follows:

Fb = δ.V.g

If this force is larger than the weight of the object (that means that the fluid is denser than the solid), the object floats, which is the case for silver and mercury.

Instead, silver density is larger than water density, which explains why the pure silver ingot sinks.

Finally, as mercury is denser than water, we conclude that for a same object, the buoyant force in mercury is larger than in water (exactly 13.6 times greater).

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

i think your answer is this: the objects have no interactive with each other.

Explanation:

if you think about it tissue paper doesn't really have a static electrical charge if it does it is very weak so therefore cannot really attract or repel anything.

Kyle lays a mirror flat on the floor and aims a laser at the mirror. The laser beam reflects off the mirror and strikes an adjac
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is  \theta_i  =42.6^o

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

   The distance between the mirror and the wall is  a = 33.7 cm

    The height of the above the mirror is  b = 36.7 cm

Generally the angle which the reflected ray make with the mirror is mathematically evaluated as

             \alpha  =tan ^{-1} (\frac{b}{a})

substituting values

             \alpha = tan ^{-1}( \frac{36.7}{33.7})

            \alpha =47.4^o

From the diagram we can deduce that  the angle of incidence is

             \theta_i  = 90 - \alpha

So          \theta_i = 90 - 47.4

              \theta_i  =42.6^o

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second
Debora [2.8K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The period of the wave is <u><em>4 seconds</em></u>

<h3><em><u>Explanation;</u></em></h3>
  • <em><u>The period of a wave or periodic time is the time taken for one complete oscillation to occur.</u></em> In this case, one complete oscillation occurs when the wave moves from one crest to the next or a trough to the next. <em><u>This takes 4 seconds. Therefore the period is 4 seconds.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Frequency on the other hand is the number of oscillations by a wave in one second. Thus, f = 1/T, that is frequency is the reciprocal of periodic time.</u></em>
