Answer:

The amount of water it displaces (shaded area ) weighs as much as the ship. The weight of the ship pulling down and the upthrust pushing up are equal and opposite forcers so the ship floats.

Explanation:

Now the weight of the ship is more than the maximum possible upthrust so it sinks to the buttom

State how you agree or disagree with the following statement. A good circuit cannot have internal resistance.

Rashid [163]

Answer: I do

Explanation:

Resistance opposes current thereby reducing the amount of current that flows through a circuit. In other words, it leads to a loss of electrical energy.

Ideally speaking, a good circuit should have no internal resistance as this would lead to more energy having to be supplied to overcome that resistance. External resistance however, is not a bad thing. For instance, oxygen being removed from lightbulbs.

Find the mass of a 52.2N bucket.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

m = 5.22 kg

Explanation:

The force acting on the bucket is 52.2 N.

We need to find the mass of the bucket.

The force acting on the bucket is given by :

F = mg

g is acceleration due to gravity

m is mass

$m=\dfrac{F}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{52.2}{10}\\\\=5.22\ kg$

So, the mass of the bucket is 5.22 kg.

AlekseyPX

The half life is 30 minutes.
30 mins- 1/2 left
60 mins- 1/4 left
90 mins- 1/8 left
120 mins- 1/16 left
120 mins= 2 hours

Two ladybugs sit on a rotating disk that is slowing down at a constant rate. The ladybugs are at rest with respect to the surfac

d1i1m1o1n [39]

The two ladybugs have same rotational (angular) speed

Explanation:

The rotational (angular) speed of an object in circular motion is defined as:

$\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}$

where

$\theta$ is the angular displacement

t is the time interval considered

Here we have two ladybugs, which are located at two different distances from the axis. In particular, ladybug 1 is halfway between ladybug 2 and the axis of rotation. However, since they rotate together with the disk, and the disk is a rigid body, every point of the disk cover the same angle $\theta$ in the same time $t$ : this means that every point along the disk has the same angular speed, and therefore the two ladybugs also have the same angular speed.
