Explain why a steel block sinks but a steel ship floats

Physics
1 answer:
uysha [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Fluids exert forces on objects because of many molecules of the fluid that continuously collide with the surfaces of the object immersed in the fluid. ... A steel boat floats on water but a steel block does not because the block has more weight than the steel boat due to the buoyant force.

An object increases its velocity from 22 m/s to 36 m/s in 5.0 s. What is the average velocity of the object?
Luden [163]

Answer:

a=2.8\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of an object, u = 22 m/s

Final velocity of an object, v = 36 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

It can be assumed to find the average acceleration of the object instead of average velocity.

The change in velocity per unit time is equal to average acceleration of an object. It can be given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{36\ m/s-22\ m/s}{5}\\\\\a=\dfrac{14}{5}\ m/s^2\\\\a=2.8\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the object is 2.8\ m/s^2.

Plz help..During takeoff a plane accelerates at 4m/s^2 and takes 40s to reach takeoff speed.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The velocity of the plane at take off is 160 m/s.

The distance travel by the plane in that time is 3200 meter.

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration, a = 4 m/s²

Time, t = 40 s

u = 0 i .e initial velocity

To Find:

velocity , v = ?

distance , s =?

Solution:

we have first Kinematic equation

v = u + at

∴ v = 0 + 4×40

∴ v = 160 m/s

Now by Third Kinematic equation

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

∴ s = 0 + 0.5 × 4× 40²

∴ s = 3200 meter
