Explain why a steel block sinks but a steel ship floats

1 answer:

uysha [10]2 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.

a rectangular tank measures 12.5 metres long 10.0 wide and 2.0 metre high calculate the mass of the water in the tank when it is

Tom [10]

Answer:

250000kg

Explanation:

Mass =density * volume

Density=1000kg/m³

Volume=l*w*h

12.5*10.0*2.0=250m³

Mass=1000 *250

=250000kg

A beam of light has a wavelength of 650 nm in vacuum. (a) What is the speed of this light in a liquid whose index of refraction

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are $2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s$ and 442 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 650 nm

Index refraction = 1.47

(a). We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

$n = \dfrac{c}{v}$

Where, n = refraction index

c = speed of light in vacuum

v = speed of light in medium

Put the value into the formula

$1.47=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{v}$

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.47}$

$v= 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$n=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{n}$

Where, $\lambda_{0}$ = wavelength in vacuum

$\lambda$ = wavelength in medium

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}}{1.47}$

$\lambda=442\times10^{-9}\ m$

Hence, The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are $2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s$ and 442 nm.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

100 V

Explanation:

Hi there!

Ohm's law states that $V=IR$ where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance.

Plug the given information into Ohm's law (R=50, I=A)

$V=IR\\V=(2)(50)\\V=100$

Therefore, the voltage across this current is 100 V.

I hope this helps!
