Complete Question:

Two objects, T and B, have identical size and shape and have uniform density. They are carefully placed in a container filled with a liquid. Both objects float in equilibrium. Less of object T is submerged than of object B, which floats, fully submerged, closer to the bottom of the container. Which of the following statements is true?

  • Object T has a greater density than object B.
  • Object B has a greater density than object T.
  • Both objects have the same density.  

Answer:

Object B has a greater density than object T

Explanation:

Any object partially or completely submerged in a liquid, experiments an upward force, equal to the weight of  the volume displaced by the liquid. This force is called the buoyant force, and can be expressed as follows:

Fb = ρl * Vs*g

where ρl is the density of the liquid, and Vs is the submerged volume.

This force must be compared with the weight of the object, which is always downward, and can be expressed as follows:

Fg = ρb* Vb * g

where ρb, is the density of the object, and Vb is the total volume of the object, regardless which portion is submerged.

For object B, as it floats fully submerged, this means that both forces are equal in magnitude:

Fg = Fb⇒ ρb* Vb * g = ρl * Vs*g

As Vb = Vs (the object is fully submerged) this means that ρb =ρl.

For object T, as it floats partially submerged, this means that Fg < Fb:

Fg= ρt* Vt * g < Fb = ρl * Vs*g.

Now, we know that ρb =ρl, so we can replace in the equation above:

ρT* Vt * g < ρb*Vs*g

Simplifying common terms, and replacing Vs by KVt (where K is the fraction of the total volume which is submerged, i.e. K<1), we have:

ρt*Vt < ρb*K*Vt ⇒ ρt / ρb < K < 1 ⇒ ρt < ρb ⇒ ρb > ρt

A block of mass m = 2.0 kg lies on a rough ramp that is inclined at an angle θ = 20oto the horizontal. A force F of magnitude 5.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a) 0.64 b) 2.17m/s^2 c) 8.668joules

Explanation:

The block was on the ramp, the ramp was inclined at 20degree. A force of 5N was acting horizontal to the but not parallel to the ramp,

Frictional force = horizontal component of the weight of the block along the ramp + the applied force since the block was just about move

Frictional force = mgsin20o + 5N = 6.71+5N = 11.71

The force of normal = the vertical component of the weight of the block =mgcos20o = 18.44

Coefficient of static friction = 11.71/18.44= 0.64

Remember that g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s^2) and m = mass (2kg)

b) coefficient of kinetic friction = frictional force/ normal force

Fr = 0.4* mgcos 20o = 7.375N

F due to motion = ma = total force - frictional force

Ma = 11.71 - 7.375 = 4.335

a= 4.335/2(mass of the block) = 2.17m/s^2

C) work done = net force *distance = 4.335*2= 8.67Joules

A horse has a momentum of 25 kg*m/s and a velocity of 2.5 m/s. What is the horse mass?
Ne4ueva [31]
<h3>Answer:  10 kg</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

We have these variables

  • p = momentum = 25 kg*m/s
  • m = mass = unknown
  • v = velocity = 2.5 meters per second

Solving for the mass gets us...

p = m*v

25 = m*2.5

25/2.5 = m

10 = m

m = 10

The mass of the horse is 10 kg.

Compare the amount of kinetic energy of particles in each state of matter- solid, liquid, gas
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

gas moves around the most so it would have the most kinetic energy and solids would have the least as they only vibrate a tiny bit(not visible to the naked eye)
