On a boat ride, the skipper gives you an extra-large life preserver filled with lead pellets. When he sees the skeptical look on

your face, he says that you'll experience a greater buoyant force if you fall overboard than your friends who wear regular-sized Styrofoam-filled life preservers. True or False

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

He is correct but what he does not tell is that you will be drown. Your life preserver will submerge and displace more water than those of your friends who float at the surface. Although buoyant force on you will be greater , the net downward force on you will still be greater.  Hence you will be drown inside the water.

A car travels due east 14 miles in 18 minutes. Then, the car turns around and returns to its starting point, taking an additiona
N76 [4]

Answer:

(a) The average speed is 0.85 milles/minute

(b) The average velocity is zero

Explanation:

In order to answer part (a) and (b) you have to apply the formulas for average speed and average velocity which are:

<em>-Average speed formula:</em>

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the total distance traveled and t is the tota time

Replacing the given values:

v=\frac{14+14}{18+15}\\v=\frac{28}{33} \\v=0.85 milles/minute

Notice that you have to replace the total distance, which is 14 milles for the go plus 14 milles for the return. The same for the total time.

<em>-Average velocity formula:</em>

V = Δx/Δt

Where V is the velocity vector, Δx is the displacement and Δt is the change in time

V= \frac{X2-X1}{t2-t1}

Where X2 is the final position and X1 is the initial position

In this case X1= 0 i and X2=0 i (i is the unit vector in the x direction). So, the displacement is zero.

Therefore, the average velocity is:

V= 0 i [milles/minute]

The earth rotates once per day about an axis passing through the north and south poles. True or False
alexandr402 [8]

Answer: False.

Explanation: The Earth rotates once per day in direction from East to West. The rotation of the Earth daily is responsible for day and night experienced, the areas of the Earth facing the Sun experiences day time while the areas of the Earth away from the Sun in the Earth's shadow experiences night time.

While the revolution of the Earth around the gives rise to a year, as it takes 365 days for the Earth to go round the sun.

The sound level at a distance of 2.30 m from a source is 115 dB. At what distance will the sound level have the following values
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

distance is 13 m for 100 dB

distance is 409 km for 10 dB

Explanation:

Given data

distance r = 2.30 m

source β = 115 dB

to find out

distance at sound level 100 dB and 10 dB

solution

first we calculate here power and intensity and with this power and intensity we will find distance

we know sound level  β  = 10 log(I/I_{0})        ......................a

put here value (I/I_{0}) = 10^−12 W/m² and  β = 115

115  = 10 log(I/10^−12)

so

I = 0.316228 W/m²

and we know power = intensity × 4π r²    ...............b

power = 0.316228 × 4π (2.30)²

power = 21.021604 W

we know at 100 dB intensity is 0.01 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 0.01 × 4π r²

so by solving r

r = 12.933855 m    = 13 m

distance is 13 m

and

at 10 dB intensity is 1 × 10^–11 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 1 × 10^–11 × 4π r²

by solving r we get

r = 409004.412465 m = 409 km

A 132 cm wire carries a current of 2.2 A. The wire is formed into a circular coil and placed in a B Field of intensity 1 T. a) F
EastWind [94]

Given Information:

Length of wire = 132 cm = 1.32 m

Magnetic field = B =  1 T

Current = 2.2 A

Required Information:

(a) Torque = τ = ?

(b) Number of turns = N = ?

Answer:

(a) Torque = 0.305 N.m

(b) Number of turns = 1

Explanation:

(a) The current carrying circular loop of wire will experience a torque given by

τ = NIABsin(θ)   eq. 1

Where N is the number of turns, I is the current in circular loop, A is the area of circular loop, B is the magnetic field and θ is angle between B and circular loop.

We know that area of circular loop is given by

A = πr²

where radius can be written as

r = L/2πN

So the area becomes

A = π(L/2πN)²

A = πL²/4π²N²

A = L²/4πN²

Substitute A into eq. 1

τ = NI(L²/4πN²)Bsin(θ)

τ = IL²Bsin(θ)/4πN

The maximum toque occurs when θ is 90°

τ = IL²Bsin(90)/4πN

τ = IL²B/4πN

torque will be maximum for N = 1

τ = (2.2*1.32²*1)/4π*1

τ = 0.305 N.m

(b) The required number of turns for maximum torque is

N = IL²B/4πτ

N = 2.2*1.32²*1)/4π*0.305

N = 1 turn
