Two life preservers have identical volumes, but one is filled with Styrofoam while the other is filled with sand. When the two l

ife preservers are worn by swimmers so that one swimmer floats with part of the preserver above water, and the other swimmer sinks, the buoyant force is actually greater on the life preserver filled with _________.

Answer:

Sand

Explanation:

While the term buoyancy may confuse the reader, the question here is referring to buoyant force.

Buoyant force is the amount of pressure exerted on an object by the liquid it is in. Given by the formula

F_{b} = V_{o} D_{l} g

Where

F_{b} = Buoyant Force

V_{o} = Volume of Object submerged in the liquid

D_{l} = Density of Liquid

g = Force of gravity

Since in this question the swimmer with the sand is completely submerged in water, more of the volume of his preserver is under the water hence the buoyant force is greater on it than the swimmer with the Styrofoam (as part of him is not submerged in water)

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

<em>faster and at a higher luminosity and temperature.</em>

Explanation:

A protostar looks like a star but its core is not yet hot enough for fusion to take place. The luminosity comes exclusively from the heating of the protostar as it contracts. Protostars are usually surrounded by dust, which blocks the light that they emit, so they are difficult to observe in the visible spectrum.

A protostar becomes a main sequence star when its core temperature exceeds 10 million K. This is the temperature needed for hydrogen fusion to operate efficiently.

Stars above about 200 solar masses (Higher mass) generate power so furiously that gravity cannot contain their internal pressure. These stars blow themselves apart and do not exist for long if at all. A protostar with less than 0.08 solar masses never reaches the 10 million K temperature needed for efficient hydrogen fusion. These result in “failed stars” called brown dwarfs which radiate mainly in the infrared and look deep red in color. They are very dim and difficult to detect, but there might be many of them, and in fact they might outnumber other stars in the universe.

That is why higher mass protostars enter the main sequence at a <em>faster and at a higher luminosity and temperature.</em>

all objects near the earths surface-regardless of size and weight have the same force of gravity acting on them. is it true or f
pickupchik [31]

False: the force of gravity acting on different objects is different and depends on their mass

Explanation:

The answer is false.

The force of gravity acting on an object (also known as weight) near the Earth's surface is given by:

F=mg

where:

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

We see from the formula that the force of gravity acting on an object depends on the mass: the larger the mass of the object, the stronger the gravitational force acting on it, and the smaller the mass, the weaker the force of gravity.

The factor that does not change is the acceleration of gravity, which is constant (9.8 m/s^2) if we are near the Earth's surface, and implies that all the objects in free fall accelerate at the same rate towards the ground, regardless of their size and weight.
