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

joja [24]
<span>There is no special name for that. Physics is usually just concerned with "forces", and doesn't specify whether the force pushes or pulls. If you want to be more specific, you can just call it a "pulling force".
I hoped this was satisfying!:)</span>

A very small sphere with positive charge 5.00uC is released from rest at a point 1.20cm from a very long line of uniform linear

Let us situate this on the x axis, and let our uniform line of charge be positioned on the interval <span>(−L,0]</span> for some large number L. The voltage V as a function of x on the interval <span>(0,∞)</span> is given by integrating the contributions from each bit of charge. Let the charge density be λ.

An object traveling 200 feet per second slows to 50 feet per second in 5 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of the object. Use
shtirl [24]

Answer:

-30m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of object  = 200 feet/second

Final velocity of object  = 50 feet/second

Time of travel = 5 seconds

To calculate acceleration of the object we will find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

So, acceleration "a" is given by:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

where vf represents final velocity, vi represents initial velocity and  is time of travel.

Plugging in values to evaluate acceleration.

a=\frac{50-200}{5}

a=\frac{-150}{5}

a= -30m/s

The acceleration of the object is -30m/s
