Archimedes and the principle of flotation ... "Cast iron sinks" ... unless it's a ship, of course is an old joke.
What has to happen is that supposing the object has a mass of 1kg, then it has to displace 1kg of water to float. However the volume of the object is decided by the object's density. Unless, that is, it is "hollowed out" or otherwise manipulated, such as is done in the hull of a metal ship ...
There's a thing called a "Eureka can" used in physics labs.

A student claims "everything falls at the same acceleration rate on the Moon, where there is no air or friction," how would you
Alexeev081 [22]

Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?

Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.

So yeah, the student is right. Galileo gave us this theory long ago.

Ask Your Teacher Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers throws a perfect football spiral at 6.9 rev/s. The radius of a pro football
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

a=159.32\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Angular speed of the football spiral, \omega=6.9\ rev/s=43.35\ rad/s

Radius of a pro football, r = 8.5 cm = 0.085 m

The velocity is given by :

v=r\omega

v=0.085\times 43.35

v = 3.68 m/s

The centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

a=\dfrac{(3.68)^2}{0.085}

a=159.32\ m/s^2

So, the centripetal acceleration of the laces on the football is 159.32\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

When making a turn, do not have the steering wheel turned in the direction of the turn before beginning the turning maneuver.a)
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

a) True.

Explanation:

If you turn the wheel in the direction of the turn before beginning the turning maneuver then it's possible that there might be not enough space available for turning and also if you are waiting for the traffic to get clear with rear  ended then it will get pushed forward onto the coming traffic.
