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

Semmy [17]3 years ago

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

The critical angle for total internal reflection occurs when:___________.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

b) the refracted ray has an angle of 90 degrees

Explanation:

The angle of incidence is measured with respect to the normal separation of the media. The critical angle for total internal reflection occurs is:

\theta=arcsin(\frac{n_2}{n_1})

Here n_2 and n_1 are the refractive index of the mediums. This equation is an application of Snell's law, for the case where  the refracted ray has an angle of 90^\circ.

A 60 kilogram student jumps down from a laboratory counter. At the instant he lands on the floor hus speed is 3 meters per secon
erastovalidia [21]

As per Newton's law rate of change in momentum is net force

so we can write it as

F = \frac{dP}{dt}

F = \frac{m(v_f - v_i)}{\Delta t}

now we know that

m = 60 kg

v_f = 3 m/s

v_i = 0

\Delta t= 0.2 s

from above equation

F = \frac{60(3 - 0)}{0.2} = 900 N

so he will experience 900 N force in above case

A bicyclist starts at rest and speeds up to 30 m/s while accelerating at 4 m/s^2. Determine the distance traveled.
raketka [301]

Answer:

Distance, d = 112.5 meters

Explanation:

Initially, the bicyclist is at rest, u = 0

Final speed of the bicyclist, v = 30 m/s

Acceleration of the bicycle, a=4\ m/s^2

Let s is the distance travelled by the bicyclist. The third equation of motion is given as :

v^2-u^2=2as

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{(30)^2}{2\times 4}

s = 112.5 meters

So, the distance travelled by the bicyclist is 112.5 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
