In lab you find that a 1-kg rock suspended above water weighs 10 N. When the rock is suspended beneath the surface of the water,

the scale reads 8 N.
a. What is the buoyant force on the rock?
b. If the container of water weighs 10 N on the weighing scale, what is the scale reading when the rock is suspended beneath the surface of the water?
c. What is the scale reading when the rock is released and rests at the bottom of the container?
a) 2 N
b) 12 N
c) 20 N

Answer:

a. 2N

b. 12N

c. 20N

Explanation:

Dtaa given,

Weight of rock in air=10N

weight of rock in water =8N

a. When the rock is suspend in water, it will displace some water from thr container since Buoyant force is the acts upward and equals in magnitude to the volume of water displays,

The buoyant force is calculated as 10N-8N=2N

b. The scale reading will be the sum of the buoyant force and the weight of the container

scale reading =10N+2N=12N

c. When the rock rest at the bottom of the container, the weight of the rock(10N) is acting downward and the weight of the container also is acting downward. Hence the sum of the two weight gives the reading on the scale

scale reading=10N+10N=20N

How are electrical signals transmitted over long distances?
forsale [732]

Answer:

Over such small distances, digital data may be transmitted as direct, two-level electrical signals over simple copper conductors. This results from the electrical distortion of signals traveling through long conductors, and from noise added to the signal as it propagates through a transmission medium.

Several springs are connected as illustrated below in (a). Knowing the individual springs stiffness k1 = 20 N/m, k2 = 30 N/m, k3
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring stiffness is

k_{1}=20\ N/m

k_{2}=30\ N/m

k_{3}=15\ N/m

k_{4}=20\ N/m

k_{5}=35\ N/m

According to figure,

k_{2} and k_{3} is in series

We need to calculate the equivalent

Using formula for series

\dfrac{1}{k}=\dfrac{1}{k_{2}}+\dfrac{1}{k_{3}}

k=\dfrac{k_{2}k_{3}}{k_{2}+k_{3}}

Put the value into the formula

k=\dfrac{30\times15}{30+15}

k=10\ N/m

k and k_{4} is in parallel

We need to calculate the k'

Using formula for parallel

k'=k+k_{4}

Put the value into the formula

k'=10+20

k'=30\ N/m

k_{1},k' and k_{5} is in series

We need to calculate the equivalent stiffness of the spring

Using formula for series

k_{eq}=\dfrac{1}{k_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{k'}+\dfrac{1}{k_{5}}

Put the value into the formula

k_{eq}=\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{30}+\dfrac{1}{35}

k_{eq}=8.93\ N/m

Hence, The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.

Rubber rods charged by rubbing with cat fur repel each other. Glass rods charged by rubbing with silk repel each other. A rubber
puteri [66]

Answer:

C. A rubber rod and a glass rod charged this way have opposite charges on them.

Explanation:

When a rubber rod is rubbed against cat fur, it acquires a negative charge, it becomes negatively charged.

When you then try to bring two rubber rod's together, they repel because like charges repel.

Meanwhile, when you rub a glass rod against silk, it loses electrons to the silk material and becomes positively charged.

When you bring two positively charged glass rod's together, they repel, because like charges repel.

However, when you bring the rubber rod and a glass rod together, the attract each other because unlike/opposite charges attract.
