Why would an object float in water, but sink in rubbing alcohol?

Because water is more dense than the object but rubbing alcohol is less dense than the object

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

a)     fem = - 0.0103 V,  b) the applied field is in a vertical upward direction, the induced current is clockwise.

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we use Faraday's law

         fem =  - \frac{d \phi}{dty}

   

the magnetic flux is

         Ф = B. A = B A cos θ

The bold letters indicate vectors, in this case the direction of the magnetic field and the normal to the circumference is parallel therefore the angle is zero and the cos 0 = 1

         fem = - B dA / dt

the area of ​​a circle is

        A = π r²

l

et's perform the derivative

         dA / dt =π 2r \frac{dr}{dt}

we substitute

          fem = - B 2π r \frac{dr}{dt}

the circumference of a circle is

         L = 2π r

we substitute

          fem = - B L  ( L  )

          fem =  

Let's find the circumference for the 9 s, let's use a direct rule of proportions

If the circumference changes 13cm at t = 1. how much does it change at t=9s

         ΔL = 13cm (9s / 1s) = 117cm

the circumference that is

        L = Lo - ΔL

        L = 167 - 117

        L = 50 cm

let's reduce all magnitudes to the SI system

         L = 0.50 m

          = 0.130 m / s

calculate us

         fem = - 1.00 0.50 0.130

         fem = - 0.0103 V

b) the electromotive force induced in the opposite direction to the change of the radius and is decreasing with time, the current follows the direction of the decreased voltage therefore the current is induced in the opposite direction to the change of the magnetic flux.

If the applied field is in a vertical upward direction, the induced current is clockwise.

A projectile is fired over level ground with an initial velocity that has a vertical component of 20 m/s and a horizontal compon
Anettt [7]
First of all, let's write the equation of motions on both horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axis. It's a uniform motion on the x-axis, with constant speed v_x=30 m/s, and an accelerated motion on the y-axis, with initial speed v_y=20 m/s and acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2:
S_x(t)=v_xt
S_y(t)=v_y t- \frac{1}{2} gt^2
where the negative sign in front of g means the acceleration points towards negative direction of y-axis (downward).

To find the distance from the landing point, we should find first the time at which the projectile hits the ground. This can be found by requiring
S_y(t)=0
Therefore:
v_y t -  \frac{1}{2}gt^2=0
which has two solutions:
t=0 is the time of the beginning of the motion,
t= \frac{2 v_y}{g} = \frac{2\cdot 20 m/s}{9.81 m/s^2}=4.08 s is the time at which the projectile hits the ground.

Now, we can find the distance covered on the horizontal axis during this time, and this is the distance from launching to landing point:
S_x(4.08 s)=v_x t=(30 m/s)(4.08 s)=122.4 m
