A material will float on the surface of a liquid if the material has a density less than that of the liquid. given that the dens

ity of water is approximately 1.0 g/ml, will a block of material having a volume of 1.3 104 in3 and weighing 350 lb float or sink when placed in a reservoir of water?

We will first convert lb to grams and in³ to milliliters. 
350 lb : 2.205 = 158.75733 kg = 158,757.33 grams
1.3 · 10^4 in³ = 13,000 in³ = 13,000 · 0.016387064 = 213.031 liters 
213.031 liters · 1,000 = 213,031 milliliters
Density = m / V = 158,753.33 g / 213,031 ml = 0.7452 g/ ml
Answer: A block of material will float.

A stiff wire 44.0 cm long is bent at a right angle in the middle. One section lies along the z axis and the other is along the l
Helga [31]

The magnitude of force acting on wire will be 1.90 N and the direction of the force acting on the wire will be 41.9 degrees below the negative y axis.

Explanation:

It is known that the force acting on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is

F=BIL sin theta

Here B is the magnetic field, I is the current flowing through the wire and L is the length of the wire which is given as 44 cm.

Since the wire is bended in the middle at right angle so the length of the two sides of the wire will be 22 cm each. Also one part is lying over z axis and another part lies in the plane of xy in the equation of line y = 2x. So the slope of this wire will be

\frac{y}{x} =2

This will be equal to tan θ.

So θ = tan⁻¹ (2) =63.4°

Then, the length of the wire will be written as components of i, j and k.

L = (-22)k+(22) cos ( 63.4) i+(22) sin (63.4)j

L = 0.098 i+0.197 j-0.22k

Then,

F = I (L × B)

F = 20.5 ((0.0985 i + 0.197 j -0.22k) * (0.316 i))

F = 20.5 (\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\0.098&0.197&-0.22\\0.316&0&0\end{array}\right] )

F = 20.5(i(0)-j(0-(-0.22*0.316))+k(0-(0.316*0.197))) = 20.5(-0.069 j-0.062 k)

F = -1.415 j-1.271 k

The magnitude of force on the wire will be

F = \sqrt{(-1.415)^{2}+(-1.27)^{2}  } = \sqrt{3.615}=1.90 N

And the direction can be found by the tan inverse of the ratio of k component to j component of the force.

theta = tan-1(\frac{-1.271}{-1.415})= 41.9 degrees

So the magnitude of force acting on wire will be 1.90 N and the direction of the force acting on the wire will be 41.9 degrees below the negative y axis.

A bird is flying with a speed of 18.0 m/s over water when it accidentally drops a 2.00 kg fish. If the altitude of the bird is 5
Alina [70]
Here we go.
My abbreviations; KE = Kinetic Energy; GPE = Gravitational Potential Energy.

So first off, we know the fish has KE right when the bird releases it. Why? Because it has horizontal velocity after released! So let’s calculate it:
KE = 1/2(m)(V)^2
KE = 1/2(2)(18)^2
KE = 324 J

Nice!
We also know that the fish has GPE at its maximum height before release:
GPE = mgh
GPE = (2)(9.81)(5.40)
GPE = 105.95 J

Now, based on the *queue dramatic voice* LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, we know all of the initial energy of the fish will be equal to the amount of final energy. And since the only form of energy when it hits the water is KE, we can write:
KEi + GPEi = KEf
(Remember - we found the initial energies before!)
(324) + (105.95) = KEf
KEf = 429.95J
And that’s you’re final answer! Notice how this value is MORE than the initial KE from before (324 J) - this is because all of the initial GPE from before was transformed into more KE as the fish fell (h decreased) and sped up (V increased).
