A duck is floating in a pond. How does Archimedes' description of the buoyant force explain why the duck

Physics
1 answer:
Ivahew [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The upthrust or buoyant force helps the duck doesn't sink.

For example, there is a duck which weighs 3 pounds and tree pints of water also weigh three pounds. In this case the volume of the duck is more than the volume of three pints of water, so the duck floats.

Hope it helps!<3

Comets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits with large eccentricities. If a comet has speed 1.8×104 m/s when at a distance
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

9.4 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

In circular or elliptical orbits , the angular momentum is conserved because torque is zero.  

mr₁v₁ = mr₂v₂

2.2 x 10¹¹ x 1.8 x 10⁴ = 4.2 x 10¹⁰ v₂

v₂ = 9.42 x 10⁴ m/s.

= 9.4 x 10⁴ m/s

What is the density of a 15 g box measuring<br> 10 cm hy 5 cm by 2 cm?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The density of the box is 0.15 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 15 g

dimension of the box, = 10 cm by 5 cm by 2 cm

Volume of the box, v = 10 cm x 5 cm x 2 cm = 100 cm³

The density of the box is given by;

Density = mass / volume

Density = 15 g / 100 cm³

Density = 0.15 g/cm³

Therefore, the density of the box is 0.15 g/cm³
