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.

It takes 200 N to move a box 10 meters in 8 seconds. How much power is
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The equation of power is defined as Power = Workdone/Time Taken

And workdone = Force x Distance so using these equations we get they workdone is, 200x 10 = 2000Nm.

Dividing workdone with time will yield power, 2000 ÷ 8 = 250 Nm/s = 250W.

An electron and a 0.033 0-kg bullet each have a velocity of magnitude 495 m/s, accurate to within 0.010 0%. Within what lower li
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

1.170*10^-3 m

3.23*10^-32 m

Explanation:

To solve this, we apply Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

the principle states that, "if we know everything about where a particle is located, then we know nothing about its momentum, and vice versa." it also can be interpreted as "if the uncertainty of the position is small, then the uncertainty of the momentum is large, and vice versa"

Δp * Δx = h/4π

m(e).Δv * Δx = h/4π

If we make Δx the subject of formula, by rearranging, we have

Δx = h / 4π * m(e).Δv

on substituting the values, we have

for the electron

Δx = (6.63*10^-34) / 4 * 3.142 * 9.11*10^-31 * 4.95*10^-2

Δx = 6.63*10^-34 / 5.67*10^-31

Δx = 1.170*10^-3 m

for the bullet

Δx = (6.63*10^-34) / 4 * 3.142 * 0.033*10^-31 * 4.95*10^-2

Δx = 6.63*10^-34 / 0.021

Δx = 3.23*10^-32 m

therefore, we can say that the lower limits are 1.170*10^-3 m for the electron and 3.23*10^-32 for the bullet

A 71 kW radio station broadcasts its signal uniformly in all directions. - What is the average intensity of its signal at a dist
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy of signal being radiated per second on all sides = 71 x 10³ J .

At a distance of 220 m it is spread over an area of 4 π x (220)² because it is spreading uniformly on all sides.

So energy crossing per unit area

= \frac{71\times10^3}{4 \times \pi\times(220)^2}

= 11.67 x 10⁻² Wm⁻²s⁻¹.

This is the intensity of the signal.

At 2200 m this intensity will further reduce by 100 times

So there it becomes equal to

11.67 x 10⁻⁴ Wm⁻² s⁻¹.

At what position in its elliptical orbit is the speed of a planet a maximum? when it is closest to the sun when it is farthest f
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

1.when it is closest to the sun

2.when it is midway between its farthest

Explanation:

According to the law of  Kepler's

T ² ∝ r³

T=Time period

r=semi major axis

We also know that time period T given as

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}

v=Speed

v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{T}

v\alpha \dfrac{r}{T}

v\alpha \dfrac{r}{T}

v^2\alpha \dfrac{r^2}{T^2}

v^2\alpha \dfrac{r^2}{r^3}

v^2\alpha \dfrac{1}{r}

v\alpha \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{r}}

So we can say that ,when r is more then the speed will be minimum and when r is low then speed will be maximum.
