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?
Physics
1 answer:
Semmy [17]3 years ago
5 0

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

Find the volume of the irregular object a marble
Lostsunrise [7]

By using Displacement method we can find volume of irregular object like marble.

<h3>What is displacement method?</h3>

In displacement method,  

First , we measuring the volume of water displaced by an object which tell us the volume of the object.

Secondly We can use the physical balance to determine its mass.

Lastly , calculate the density by dividing the mass by the volume.

Procedure to find the Volume of irregular object i.e. marble

step 1 - Fill the graduated cylinder about half full and measure the initial volume of water.

step 2 - Drop the marble in the graduated cylinder.

step 3 -Now measure the final level of water.

Step 4 - Subtract both the values.

Here , comes the Volume of Irregular Object.

A bicyclist is coasting straight down a hill at a constant speed. The mass of the rider and bicycle is 96.0 kg, and the hill is
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

 The force applied 275 N in a direction parallel to the hill

Explanation:

Newton's second law is adequate to work this problem, in the annex we can see a free body diagram, where the weight (W) is vertical, the friction force (fr) is parallel to the surface and the normal (N ) is perpendicular to it. In general for these problems a reference system is taken that is parallel to the surface and the Y axis is perpendicular to it.

Let us decompose the weight into its two components, the angle T is taken from the axis and

            Wx = W sin θ

            Wy = W cos T

We write Newton's second law

              ∑ F = m a

X axis

          The cyclist falls at a constant speed, which implies that the acceleration is zero

              fr - W sin θ = 0

              fr = mg sin θ

              fr = 96 9.8 without 17

              fr = 275 N

When the cyclist returns to climb the hill, he must apply the same force he has to overcome the friction force that always opposes the movement .  The force applied 275 N in a direction parallel to the hill

According to Kepler's Third Law, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about
NARA [144]

Answer:

Orbital period, T = 1.00074 years

Explanation:

It is given that,

Orbital radius of a solar system planet, r=4\ AU=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

The orbital period of the planet can be calculated using third law of Kepler's. It is as follows :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M is the mass of the sun

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times (1.496\times 10^{11})^3    

T^2=\sqrt{9.96\times 10^{14}}\ s

T = 31559467.6761 s

T = 1.00074 years

So, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about 1.00074 years.

14. A block rests on a frictionless table on Earth. After a 20-N horizontal force is applied to the block, it accelerates at 3.9
joja [24]
<span>14. Let's find mass. We know that F = m*a, so m = F/a.m = 20/3,9 m/s^2 = 5,12 kg;We already know the mass, so acceleration will be a = F/m;a = 10/5,12 = 2,0 m/s^2 (approximately);Answer: E.
15. According to the picture given above, let's define all components:These are refer to y: 985N sin(31)= 507;788N cos(32)= 668;411N sin(53)=-328;
And these are refer to x: 985N cos(31)= 844 788N sin(32)= -417 411N cos(53)= -247
And finally let's calculate tan:  tan^-1 (507/844)= 30,98; tan^-1 (668/-417)= -58,02; tan^-1 (-328/-247)= 53,01
According to these calculations we've got: Sum Fx = 179,4 and Sum Fy = 847. Then let's count magnitude:Fsum = rad 179^2 + 847^2 = 865
Then we've got [tex]cos^-1 (179/865) = 77.7 (approximately).
So the most approximate answer is C. 866 N at 78.1° counterclockwise to the x-axis.
16. I think that this question is incomplete because there wasn't mentioned in what end of the chain the tension should be calculated. Anyway I'll help you with both bottom and top ends. We will use the basic formula W=m*g; W(bottom) = 175*9.8 = 1715 N; W(top) = (175+12)*9.8 = 1833 N; So you should choose between B. 1830 N or D. 1720 N. But I think the most possible answer is B.
17. I am definitely sure that A diagram generates the most tension in one chain. So the answer is C. The box is held by 1 chain and have all its weight.
18. I think that each planet would move in a straight line at constant speed, because there will be a zero gravity condition and there won't any impact on the planets.
19.  According to the Work-Energy Theorem we have:1/2*1200*2^2 = 2400 (J);Then let's count the average force according to the formula: Work =  F*D where D is displacement.F = 2400/ 0.15 = 16000 (N)
So the answer is B. 1.6 × 10^4 N
20. If my memory serves me well, magnetism is the force that can act through empty space. It's one aspect of the combined electromagnetic force. So the answer is A.
21. According to the illustration given above, I think we should use formula F = m*g; Let's count m. m = 5 kg - 0,6 kg = 4,4 kg; Then we have everything to count force:F = 4,4 * 9,8 = 43,1 N. So the most approximate answer is D. 43 N.
22. I am definitely sure that the answer is C. on Earth at sea level. Because weight has the formula W=mg. And on the earth surface the magnitude of g is higher that everywhere so the greatest weight is on Earth at sea level.
23. We have everything to calculate the acceleration. According to Newton's second law, the formula is a = F/m;a = 20/40 = 0,5 m/s^2; So the answer is A.
24. According to the definition of action reaction forces, the answer should be: A. The forces are opposite in direction, with the force on the ball much stronger in magnitude.
25. I am pretty sure that we should use Newton’s second law of motion F = m*a. First we should find mass, using formula W=m*g => m = W/g => m = 2400/9.8= 245 kg. Then we can find F.F = m*a;F = 245*12 = 2940 N; Answer: B
