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

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

-10 m/s²

Explanation:

How are steam powered boats different from sailboats
Alex
Steam powered boats run from an engine, using power, gears, and cranks to function.

Sailboats use no engine and rely on winds to move and change the direction of the boat.

For a satellite of mass mS in a circular orbit of radius rS around the Earth, determine its kinetic energy, K . Express your ans
agasfer [191]

Since it is asking you to find the kinetic energy in relation to the mass, radius, mechanical energy (total energy), and constants, you will need to setup an equation first to "find" the Mechanical Energy, so that we can then solve for the kinetic energy, as from my experience with high school physics, there is only the graviational potential energy equation and force in relation to celestial bodies.

Knowing the ME is the total energy, we add up the energies of the system. Since it is being influenced by the Earth, as per the problem stating the satellite has circular orbit around the Earth, we know there is gravitational potential. Since it is orbiting, we can assume some type of velocity. Nothing else that we need to worry about should be occuring at this level of physics, leaving you with

ME= Ug+K

from here we solve for K, as plugging in could get confusing and messy at the moment.

ME-Ug=K

now using the equations presumably given in class, if not then using this equation, we can find the Ug

Ug=(-(Gm*M)/r)     note that M is the mass of the Earth and m is the satellite

this should give us

ME-(-(GmM)/r)=K

since there is a negative being subracted, we can change that to

ME+(GmM)/r=K

I believe this should be fine, as the Earth's mass is constant, but if not, then all you need to figure left is how to get rid of the M in the equation, as the rest of the terms and constants are for sure within the requirements.

How much mass should be attached to a vertical ideal spring having a spring constant (force constant) of 39.5 n/m so that it wil
mrs_skeptik [129]
The frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator such as a spring-mass system is given by
f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}   \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }
where 
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.

Re-arranging the formula, we get:
m= \frac{k}{4 \pi^2 f^2}
and since we know the constant of the spring:
k=39.5 N/m
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
we can find the value of the mass attached to it:
m= \frac{39.5 Hz}{4 \pi^2 (1.00 Hz)^2} = 1.00 kg
