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

If the force of gravity suddenly stopped acting on the planets, they would
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:c

Explanation:

If the Force of gravity suddenly stops acting on Planets then Planets would continue to move straight in the initial direction.

Gravity constantly acts on Planets to change their trajectory each instant thus in absence of it if a planet is moving in a circular path then it would follow the path of the tangent to the circular path as gravity force is absent to change its trajectory.

A rock of mass 0.340 kg is spun horizontally at the end of a wire that has a diameter of 1.00 mm. If the wire gets stretched by
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Y = 78.13 x 10⁹ Pa = 78.13 GPa

Explanation:

First we will find the centripetal force acting on the wire as follows:

F = mv²/r

where,

F = Force = ?

m = mass of rock = 0.34 kg

v = speed = 19 m/s

r = length of wire

Therefore,

F = (0.34)(19)²/r

F = 122.74/r  

now, we find cross-sectional area of wire:

A = πd²/4

where,

A = Area = ?

d = diameter of wire = 1 mm = 0.001 m

Therefore,

A = π(0.001)²/4

A = 7.85 x 10⁻⁷ m²

Now, we calculate the stress on wire:

Stress = F/A

Stress = (122.74/r)/(7.85 x 10⁻⁷)

Stress = 1.56 x 10⁸/r

Now, we calculate strain:

Strain = Δr/r

where,

Δr = stretch in length = 2 mm = 0.002 m

Therefore,

Strain = 0.002/r

now, for Young's modulus (Y):

Y = Stress/Strain

Y = (1.56 x 10⁸/r)/(0.002/r)

<u>Y = 78.13 x 10⁹ Pa = 78.13 GPa</u>

Say the tortoise and the hare are racing. If the tortoise moves straight
Rina8888 [55]

Explanation:

It's displacement would be negative

displacement is a vector quantity.

'Backwards', we can assume, would be negative.

and forwards, positive. So going backwards would mean a negative displacement.
