Explain why a steel block sinks but a steel ship floats

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.

Answer:

<u>Resolving</u><u> </u><u>horizontally</u><u>.</u> :

$\sum d_{x} = - (17.0 \cos 20.0) - (11.0 \cos 35.0) + (30.0 \cos 50.0) + 0 \\ { \underline{d _{x} = - 5.702 \: m}} \\ \\ \sum d _{y} = (17.0 \sin 20.0) + 12.0 - (11.0 \sin 35.0) - (30.0 \sin 50.0) \\ { \underline{d _{y} = - 11.476 \: m}}$

therefore, for resultant:

$d = \sqrt{ {d _{y} }^{2} + d _{x} {}^{2} }$

substitute:

$d = \sqrt{ {( - 5.702)}^{2} + {( - 11.476)}^{2} } \\ \\ d = \sqrt{164.211} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{d = 12.8 \: m}}}}$

The pressure exerted by a gas is 2.0 atm while it has a volume of 350 mL. What would be the volume of this sample of gas at stan

34kurt

Answer:

700 mL or 0.0007 m³

Explanation:

P₁ = Initial pressure = 2 atm

V₁ = Initial volume = 350 mL

P₂ = Final pressure = 1 atm

V₂ = Final volume

Here the temperature remains constant. So, Boyle's law can be applied here.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

$\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}=V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\frac{2\times 350}{1}\\\Rightarrow V_2=700\ mL$

So, volume of this sample of gas at standard atmospheric pressure would be 700 mL or 0.0007 m³

A light ray incident from medium 1 to medium 2, where n1>n2. When the incident angle exceed the critical angle ac, the refrac

vovikov84 [41]

Explanation:

(a)

Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.

Using Snell's law as:

$n_1\times {sin\theta_i}={n_2}\times{sin\theta_r}$

Where,

${\theta_i}$ is the angle of incidence

${\theta_r}$ is the angle of refraction = 90°

${n_2}$ is the refractive index of the refraction medium

${n_1}$ is the refractive index of the incidence medium

Thus,

$n_1\times {sin\ \theta_{critical}}={n_2}\times{sin\ 90^0}$

The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:

${sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {n_2}{n_1}$

Where,

${\theta_{critical}}$ is the critical angle

(b)

No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.

4. A car, initially traveling east with a speed of

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

150 m

Explanation:

Given,

u=5m/s

a=2m/s2

t=10s

v=?

s=?

Now,

v=u+at

=5+2×10

=5+20

=25m/s

So,

s=u+v/2×t

=5+25/2×10

=30/2×10

=15×10

=150m
