A plastic bottle partially filled with water floats on water, even though the density of the plastic (1.2 g/cc) is more than tha

t of water. Why is that?

Answer:

True the plastic will float because of the principle of flotation or buoyancy

Explanation:

Buoyancy explains it all!!

Buoyancy  is the upward force/upthrust experienced by a body immersed totally or partially in a liquid.

According to the principle of flotation:

<em>"when a body is totally or partially immersed in liquid it experiences an upthrust which is equal to the volume of fluid displaced"</em>

The plastic will float due to the fact the average density of the total volume of the plastic and the air inside it is less than the same volume of water it is floating in

Answer:

Position A/Position E

K = E, U = 0

Position B/Position D

K = (1-x)\cdot E, U = x\cdot E, for 0 < x < 1

Position C

K = 0, U = E

Explanation:

Let suppose that ball-Earth system represents a conservative system. By Principle of Energy Conservation, total energy (E) is the sum of gravitational potential energy (U) and translational kinetic energy (K), all measured in joules. In addition, gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to height (h) and translational kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of velocity.

Besides, gravitational potential energy is increased at the expense of translational kinetric energy. Then, relative amounts at each position are described below:

Position A/Position E

K = E, U = 0

Position B/Position D

K = (1-x)\cdot E, U = x\cdot E, for 0 < x < 1

Position C

K = 0, U = E

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Michael Faraday is probably best known for his discovery of electromagnetic induction, his contributions to electrical engineering and electrochemistry or due to the fact that he was responsible for introducing the concept of field in physics to describe electromagnetic interaction.

Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.

Electrical engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with the study, design and application of equipment, devices and systems which use electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.

Electrochemistry is the branch of physical chemistry that studies the relationship between electricity, as a measurable and quantitative phenomenon, and identifiable chemical change, with either electricity considered an outcome of a particular chemical change or vice versa.
