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)

For a wire has a circular cross section with a radius of 1.23mm.
Mila [183]

Answer:

5.731\times 10^{-5}\ m/s

Decrease

Explanation:

I = Current = 3.7 A

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

n = Conduction electron density in copper = 8.49\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3

v_d = Drift velocity of electrons

r = Radius = 1.23 mm

Current is given by

I=neAv_d\\\Rightarrow v_d=\dfrac{I}{neA}\\\Rightarrow v_d=\dfrac{3.7}{8.49\times 10^{28}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times \pi (1.23\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow v_d=5.731\times 10^{-5}\ m/s

The drift speed of the electrons is 5.731\times 10^{-5}\ m/s

v_d=\dfrac{I}{neA}

From the equation we can see the following

v_d\propto \dfrac{1}{n}

So, if the number of conduction electrons per atom is higher than that of copper the drift velocity will decrease.

Explain how fluids exert pressure
Veseljchak [2.6K]
In a fluid, all the forces exerted by the individual particles combine to make up the pressure exerted by the fluid 
Due to fundamental nature of fluids, a fluid cannot remain at rest under the presence of shear stress. However, fluids can exert pressure normal to any contacting surface. If a point in the fluid is thought of as a small cube, then it follows from the principles of equilibrium that the pressure on every side of this unit of fluid must be equal. but if this were not a case, the fluid would move in the directions of the resulting force, So the pressure on a fluid at rest is isotropic.

Rotation of the lever OA is controlled by the motion of the contacting circular disk of radius r = 300 mm whose center is given
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The angular velocity is

5.64rad/s

Explanation:

This problem bothers on curvilinear motion

The angular velocity is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement it is expressed in rad/s

We know that the velocity v is given as

v= ωr

Where ω is the angular velocity

r is 300mm to meter = 0.3m

the radius of the circle

described by the level

v=1.64m/s

Making ω subject of the formula and solving we have

ω=v/r

ω=1.64/0.3

ω=5.46 rad/s

Help me answer these, please. I GIVE CROWNS!! PLEASE!!
bija089 [108]

Answer: 1- A diagram showing the forces acting on the object.

2- The force vector describes a specific amount of force and its direction. You need both value and direction to have a vector.

3- A vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. You can tell if a quantity is a vector by whether or not it has a direction associated with it.

4- I don’t know

5- When two forces acting on an object are equal in size but act in opposite directions, we say that they are balanced forces

6- By applying an unbalanced force, you can change the motion of an object. Unbalanced forces can make an object at rest start moving, make a moving object stop, or change the direction and speed of the object.

7- If the forces on an object are unbalanced, this is what happens: a stationary object starts to move in the direction of the resultant force.

8- Imbalance or unequal force

9- The result is no motion. Balanced forces can cancel each other out. Any time there is a balanced force, the object does not move.

10- net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object.
