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

The African and South American continents are separating at a rate of about 3 cm per year, according to the ideas of plate tecto
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

166 666 666.7 years

Explanation:

We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.

We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart

So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart

t = distance/speed

t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years

A car is pushed with a force of 450 N for 19.4 seconds. What impulse was applied to the car?​
harina [27]

Answer:

impulse = 8820 kg·\frac{m}{s} or 8820 N·s

Explanation:

Impulse J is equal to the average force F_{av} multiplied by the elapsed time Δt or in equation form, J = F_{av}Δt

As long as your force of 450 N is constant then that value is your average force F_{av} and your elapsed time is 19.4 seconds.

Multiply these values.

You will get an impulse of 8820 kg·\frac{m}{s} or 8820 N·s.

the focal length of a simple magnifier is 8.50 cmcm . assume the magnifier to be a thin lens placed very close to the eye.
Igoryamba

When the object is at the focal point the angular magnification is 2.94.

Angular magnification:

The ratio of the angle subtended at the eye by the image formed by an optical instrument to that subtended at the eye by the object when not viewed through the instrument.

Here we have to find the angular magnification when the object is at the focal point.

Focal length = 6.00 cm

Formula to calculate angular magnification:

Angular magnification = 25/f

                                            = 25/ 8.5

                                             = 2.94

Therefore the angular magnification of this thin lens is 2.94
