2.A body, which floated in water, sank when put in kerosene. Whydid it happen?​

Physics
1 answer:
Montano1993 [528]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The density of an object is its mass per unit volume, that is the ratio of mass to volume occupied. It is given by:

Density = mass / volume

A body floats in a liquid when the buoyant force (weight of displaced liquid) is more than the weight of the body, it sinks if the buoyant force is less than the weight of the body and remains at the same depth if the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the body.

The density of Kerosene is less that the density of water. So a body displaces a greater weight of water than that of kerosene, and hence floats in water but sinks in kerosene.

A drag racer starts her car from rest and accelerates at 5.5 m/s2 for the entire distance of 523 m. How long did it take the car
ANEK [815]

Answer:

t = 13.7 s or t = 14 s with proper significant figures

Explanation:

The initial speed is 0 m/s since the car starts from rest, acceleration is 5.5 m/s2 and distance is 523 m.

Since we have initial speed, acceleration and distance we can use the following formula to find the time. We can now use algebra to work out our answer.

d = vt + \frac{1}{2}at²

523 = (0)t + (\frac{1}{2})(5.5)t²

523 = 2.8t²

186.8 = t²

13.7 s = t

(t = 14 s with proper significant figures)

At a distance r from a charge e on a particle of mass m the electric field value is
mel-nik [20]

At a distance r from a charge e on a particle of mass m the electric field value is  8.9876 × 10⁹ N·m²/C². Divide the magnitude of the charge by the square of the distance of the charge from the point. Multiply the value from step 1 with Coulomb's constant.

<h3>what is magnitude ?</h3>

Magnitude can be defined as the maximum extent of size and the direction of an object.

It is used as a common factor in vector and scalar quantities, as we know scalar quantities are those quantities that have magnitude only and vector quantities are those quantities have both magnitude and direction.

There are different ways where magnitude is used Magnitude of earthquake,  charge on an electron, force, displacement, Magnitude of gravitational force

There are competitions in which pilots fly small planes low over the ground and drop weights, trying to hit a target. Part A A p
tamaranim1 [39]

Explanation:

A pilot flying a weight; it takes t = 3.4 s to hit the ground, during which it travels a horizontal distance d = 120 m  

h = g/2*t^2

h= 4.903*3.4^2

h=56.701 m

V = d/t

V= 120/3.4

V=35.3 m/sec  

Now the pilot does a run at the same height but twice the speed.  

How much time (t1) does it take the weight to hit the ground?

t1 = t = 3.4 sec (depending just upon height)
