Does the air exert a buoyant force on all objects in air or only on objects such as balloons that are very light for their size?

Does the air exert a buoyant force on all objects in air or only on objects such as balloons that are very light for their size? Air exerts a buoyant force on all objects. Air has too low a density to exert a buoyant force. Air exerts a buoyant force only on objects less dense than air. Air exerts a buoyant force only on objects more dense than air.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

Buoyancy is the force that causes objects to float. It is the force exerted on an object that is partly or wholly immersed in a fluid. Buoyancy is caused by the differences in pressure acting on opposite sides of an object immersed in a static fluid. It is also known as the buoyant force. Buoyancy is the phenomena due to Buoyant Force.

It is as an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object immersed in a fluid. As we know, the pressure in a fluid column increases with depth. Thus, the pressure at the bottom of an object submerged in the fluid is greater than that at the top. The difference in this pressure results in a net upward force on the object which we define as buoyancy.

- The formula for buoyant force (Fb) is given:

                           Fb = ρ*g*V

- The force acts on all objects. However, it depends on the fluid density and amount of volume displaced.

- The Buoyant force exerted by air with density = 1.225 kg/m^3 on an object with volume (V) is:

                          Fb = ρ*g*V = 1.225*9.81*V = 12.02*V

- For the similar object with mass (m), the downward weight would be:

                           W = m*g

- For the object to float the buoyant force (Fb) must be greater than weight of the object:

                          Fb > W

                          12.02*V > m*9.81

                          V / m > 0.816

- The ratio of V / m must be at-least = 0.816.

- Assuming the object is fully immersed in air, then the volume displaced V = ρ_material*V

                         ρ_material < 1 / 0.816

                        ρ_material < 1.225 or ( ρ_air )

- So the for an object to float in air its material density must always be less than that of air. That why in balloons lighter gas is used which have density less than that of air like Helium.

Place the object in an electronic balance and measure its mass.
Place a measured amount of water in the cylinder.
Place the object in the cylinder so that it’s fully submerged.
Measure the new level of the liquid and subtract the original level. This is equal to the volume of the object.

Density = mass / volume.

A tennis ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of +6.2 m/s. What will the ball’s velocity be when it returns
anastassius [24]

Answer:

v_{f}=-6.2 m/s

Explanation:

The ball will rise decreasing its speed until it reaches the highest point where its speed will be zero. From this point the tennis ball will begin to fall again, in the free fall the tennis ball will gain speed but now in the opposite direction. When it returns to the same point where it was launched, its speed will be the same as the one that was launched but with the opposite sign.

v_{f}=-6.2 m/s

We can check this using the equation:

v_{f}^2=v_{i}^2+2gh

where v_{i}=+6.2 m/s

ang h is the height, but because the ball returns to the same point where it started, h =0

then

v_{f}^2=v_{i}^2

v_{f}=v_{i}

the initial and final velocity will be the same in number, but we know that the ball is going in the opposite direction, so the final velocity must have the opposite sign from the initial velocity

so if v_{i}=+6.2 m/s,

v_{f}=-6.2 m/s

A 2.0 m conductor is formed into a square and placed in the horizontal xy-plane. A magnetic field is oriented 30.0° above the ho
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

\phi_B = 0.216 T m^2

Explanation:

As we know that the length of the conductor is given as

L = 2 m

now if it is converted into a square then we have

L = 4a

a = \frac{L}{4} = 0.5 m

now the are of the loop will be

A = a^2 = 0.5(0.5) = 0.25 m^2

now the magnetic flux is defined as

\phi_B = BAcos\theta

here we know

B = 1.0 T

\theta = 30.0^o

\phi_B = (1.0 T)(0.25 m^2)(cos30)

\phi_B = 0.216 T m^2
