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

What is the total resistance of a 6 ohm and a 8 ohm resistor connected in series?<br> (1 Point)
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Total Resistance in circuit is Fourteen Ohms <u>(14 Ω).</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

How do we know, if the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is the <u>sum of all the resistors.</u>

(Important: The total resistance can only be added just when the resistors are <u>connected in series</u>)

Then, total resistance (<em>TR </em>) is the sum of all resistors (<em>T1 + T2</em>, in this case)

TR = T1 + T2

According to problem data, we have:

TR = 8 Ω + 6 Ω

TR = 14 Ω

A boy is running with a kinetic energy of 82"" j if the boy has a mass of 80 kg what is his speed
weqwewe [10]

Explanation:

v =  \sqrt \ \frac{ke}{ \frac{1}{2} m}

v =  \sqrt \ \frac{82}{ \frac{1}{2} (80)}

v = 1.4317821063276 m/s

How much GPE is stored when an 80kg astronaut climbs to the top of a 5m high lunar lander? The gravity strength on the moon is 1
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The GPE, stored is 640 Joules

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The given mass of the astronaut, m = 80 kg

The height of the top of the lunar lander to which the astronaut climbs, h = 5 m

The gravity strength on the moon, g = 1.6 N/kg

The Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE, stored is given according to the following equation;

GPE stored = m·g·h

Therefore, by substituting the known values, we have;

GPE Stored = 80 kg × 1.6 N/kg × 5 m = 640 Joules

The GPE, stored = 640 Joules.
