A metal object is suspended from a spring scale. The scale reads 920 N when the object is suspended in air, and 750N when the ob

17.3 L.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The object appears 920 - 750 = 170\;\text{N} lighter in water than in the air. Water has supplied that 170 N of buoyant force.

The size of the buoyant force on an object in water is the same as the weight of water that the object has displaced. The buoyant force on the metal object here is 170 N. The object must have displaced water of the same weight.

g = 9.81 \;\text{N}\cdot\text{kg}^{-1}.

Mass of water displaced:

\text{Mass} = \dfrac{\text{Weight}}{g} = \dfrac{170}{9.81} = 17.3 \;\text{kg}.

Volume of water displaced:

The density of water at room temperature is 1.000\;\text{kg}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}. Each kilogram of water will occupy a volume of 1 dm³ (one cubic decimeter), which is the same as 1 L (one liter).

V = \dfrac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}} =\dfrac{m}{\rho} = \dfrac{17.3\;\text{N}}{1.000\;\text{kg}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}} = 17.3\;\text{dm}^{-3}=17.3\;\text{L}.

Volume of the object:

The object is completely under water. As a result, the volume of the object will be the same as the volume of water displaced. The volume of the object is also 17.3 L.

Three 7 0hm resistors are connected in series across a 10 V battery. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
Tomtit [17]

Given

Three 7 ohm resistor are in series.

The battery is V=10V

To find

The equivalent resistance

Explanation

When the resistance are in series then the resistance are added to find its equivalent.

Thus the equivalent resistance is:

R=7+7+7=21\Omega

Conclusion

The equivalent resistance is 21 ohm

The same force is applied to two skateboards. One rolls across the room and the other moves a few feet and comes to a stop. Wher
igor_vitrenko [27]

The longer you spend reading and thinking about this question,
the more defective it appears.

-- In each case, the amount of work done is determined by the strength
of the force AND by  the distance the skateboard rolls <em><u>while you're still </u></em>
<em><u>applying the force</u>.   </em>Without some more or different information, the total
distance the skateboard rolls may or may not tell how much work was done
to it.<em>
</em>
-- We know that the forces are equal, but we don't know anything about
how far each one rolled <em>while the force continued</em>.  All we know is that
one force must have been removed.

-- If one skateboard moves a few feet and comes to a stop, then you
must have stopped pushing it at some time before it stopped, otherwise
it would have kept going. 

-- How far did that one roll while you were still pushing it ?

-- Did you also stop pushing the other skateboard at some point, or
did you stick with that one?

-- Did each skateboard both roll the same distance while you continued pushing it ?

I don't think we know enough about the experimental set-up and methods
to decide which skateboard had more work done to it.
