Which part of the iceberg displaces water equal in weight to the buoyant force

2 answers:

6 0

Whoa ! Wait a second. The weight of the displaced water
is ALWAYS equal to the buoyant force.

In the case of a floating object ... whether it's an iceberg or
a dead fly ... the part that's under the surface is the part that's
displacing water.

The bit that's below the sea level = most of it = part of the reason why the Titanic was "holed below the water line" and thus doomed to sink. Most of a berg is below the water line.

Two uniform, solid cylinders of radius R and total mass M are connected along their common axis by a short, light rod and rest o

sveta [45]

Explanation:

A) To prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic:

System diagram for given situation is shown in attached Fig. 1

We can prove the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic if

$a_{x} = -\omega^{2} x$

where aₓ is acceleration when attached cylinders move in horizontal direction:

<h3>PROOF:</h3>

rotational inertia for cylinders is given as:

$I=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}$ -----(1)

Newton's second law for angular motion is:

∑τ = Iα ------(2)

For linear motion in horizontal direction it is:

∑Fₓ = Maₓ ------ (3)

By definition of torque:

τ = RF --------(4)

Put (4) and (1) in (2)

$RF=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\alpha$

from Fig 3 it can be seen that fs is force by which the cylinders roll without slipping as they oscillate

So above equation becomes

$f_{s}=\frac{1}{2}MR\alpha$ ------ (5)

As angular acceleration is related to linear by:

$a= R\alpha$

Eq (5) becomes

$f_{s}=\frac{1}{2}Ma_{x}$ ---- (6)

aₓ shows displacement in horizontal direction

From (3)

∑Fₓ = Maₓ

Fₓ is sum of fs and restoring force that spring exerts:

$\sum F_{x} = f_{s} - kx$ ----(7)

Put (7) in (3)

$f_{s} - kx = Ma_{x}$ [/tex] -----(8)

Using (6) in (8)

$\frac{1}{2}Ma_{x} - kx =Ma_{x}$

$a_{x} = \frac{2k}{3M} x$ --- (9)

For spring mass system

$a= -\omega^{2} x$ ----- (10)

Equating (9) and (10)

$\omega^{2} = \frac{2k}{3M}$

$\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{2k}{3M}}$

then (9) becomes

$a_{x} = - \omega^{2}x$

(The minus sign says that x and aₓ have opposite directions as shown in fig 3)

This proves that the motion of the center of mass of the cylinders is simple harmonic.

<h3 /><h3>B) Time Period</h3>

Time period is related to angular frequency as:

$T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega}$

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3M}{2k}$

What is the Primacy Effect? Question 1 options:

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: The primacy effect occurs when you're more likely to remember words at the beginning of a list. A suggested reason for the primacy effect is that the initial items presented are most effectively stored in long-term memory because of the greater amount of processing devoted to them.

So B would be your answer

A truck skids for a distance of 25m with the road pushing on its tires with force of 1500N as its brakes are applied. What is th

Daniel [21]

Answer:

37500 J

Explanation:

Law of conservation of energy: Its states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another.

Applying the law of conservation of energy.

The change in kinetic energy for the truck = Net work done by the truck skids

ΔK.E = F×d.................... Equation 1

Where ΔK.E = Change in kinetic energy, F = Force, d = distant.

Given: F = 1500 N, d = 25 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

ΔK.E = 1500×25

ΔK.E = 37500 J
