What weight of water is displaced by a 100-ton floating ship? What is the buoyant force that acts on this ship?

1 answer:

3 0

An object that weighs 100 tons and is floating is displacing exactly 100 tons of the fluid, and the buoyant force on it is 100 tons. The vertical forces on it are balanced (add up to zero), and that's why it isn't accelerating up or down.

Explain how the extension of a spring is determined

fgiga [73]

Answer:

For a given spring the extension is directly proportional to the force applied For example if the force is doubled, the extension doubles When an elastic object is stretched beyond its limit of proportionality the object does not return to its original length when the force is removed

Answer:

Frequency of the light will be equal to $6.97\times 10^{1}Hz$

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the light $\lambda =430nm=430\times 10^{-9}m$

Velocity of light is equal to $v=3\times 10^8m/sec$

We have to find the frequency of light

We know that velocity is equal to $v=\lambda f$ , here $\lambda$ is wavelength and f is frequency of light

So frequency of light will be equal to $f=\frac{v}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{430\times 10^{-9}}=6.97\times 10^{1}Hz$

So frequency of the light will be equal to $6.97\times 10^{1}Hz$

When an object is in circular motion it is constantly changing its velocity.

EleoNora [17]

Its tangential speed is constant although its velocity is changing. As the object changes direction, it results in a changing of positive and negative signs of the velocity. Although, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) is not changing.
