To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of forces. Said balance will be given between buoyancy force and weight, both described as derived from Newton's second law, are given as

Buoyancy force

F_B = V\rho g

Here,

V = Volume

\rho=Density of air

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Weight

F_W = mg

m = mass

g = Gravity

Our values are given as,

\text{Weight of the sphere} = W = 0.34 N

\text{Volume} = V = 13 cm^3 = 13*10^{-6}m^3

\text{density of air} =\rho =1.29kg/m^3

\text{gravity}= g = 9.8 m/s^2

Then,

F = V\rho g

Replacing,

F = (13*10^{-6}m^3 )(1.29Kg/m^3)( 9.8 m/s^2) = 1.6434* 10^{-4} N

Now net force is ,

F_{net} = mg - F

Mass of the sphere is

m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{0.34N}{9.8m/s^2} = 0.03469 kg

Now acceleration of the sphere is

a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}

a = \frac{( 0.34 N)- (1.6434* 10^{-4} N)}{0.03469 kg}

a = 9.822m/s^2

Therefore the acceleration of the sphere as it falls through water is 9.822m/s^2

When a car crashes, do you think its speed can make a difference in the<br> amount of damage done?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

An increased speed will result in an increased amount of energy, so when it crashes some of that energy will bounce back and crumple the car.

A uniform electric field is produced due to the charge distribution inside the closed cylindrical surface. (a) What type of char
DiKsa [7]

Answer with Explanation:

a. Option d is true.

a negatively charged plane parallel to the end faces of the cylinder

b. Radius of cylinder, r=0.66m

Magnitude of electric field, E=300 N/C

We have to find the net flux through the closed surface.

Net electric flux,\phi=-2 EA=-2E(\pi r^2)

\phi=-2\times 300\times (3.14\times (0.66)^2)

\phi=-820.67 Nm^2/C

c.

Net charge,Q=\epsilon_0\times \phi

Where

\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}

Q=-820.67\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}

Q=-7.26\times 10^{-9} C

Q=-7.26nC

Where 1nC=10^{-9}C

A cheetah can accelerate from rest to a speed of 21.5 m/s in 6.75 s. What is its acceleration? m/s^2
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Acceleration will be a=3.185m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given final velocity v = 21.5 m/sec

Time t = 6.75 sec

As cheetah starts from rest so initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

From first equation of motion we know that v = u+at, here v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time

So 21.5=0+a\times 6.75

a=3.185m/sec^2
