According to Archimedes' principle, when an object is placed in a fluid, the buoyant force acting on it is equal to the weight o

But the Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force is the weight of the fluid displaced. So, for a floating object on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object. Thus, only in the special case of floating does the buoyant force acting on an object equal the object's weight

A solid block is attached to a spring scale. When the block is suspended in air, the scale reads 21.2 N; when it is completely i

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

7066kg/m³

Explanation:

The forces in these cases (air and water) are: Fa =mg =ρbVg Fw =(ρb −ρw)Vg where ρw = 1000 kg/m3 is density of water and ρb is density of the block and V is its density. We can find it from this two equations:

Fa /Fw = ρb / (ρb −ρw) ρb = ρw (Fa /Fa −Fw) =1000·(1* 21.2 /21.2 − 18.2)

= 7066kg/m³

Two spherical conductors are separated by a distance much larger than either of their radii. Sphere A has a radius of 11.5 cm an

bonufazy [111]

Explanation:

As the given spheres are connected by a thin wire so, the potential on the spheres are the same.

$\frac{q_{1}}{r_{1}} = \frac{q_{2}}{r_{2}}$ ......... (1)

Hence, total charge will be as follows.

$q_{1} + q_{2}$ = Q = -95.5 nC .......... (2)

Using the above two equations, the final equation will be as follows.

$q_{2} = \frac{Qr_{2}}{r_{1} + r_{2}}$

and, $q_{1} = \frac{Qr_{1}}{r_{1} + r_{2}}$

Hence, we will calculate the charge on sphere B after the equilibrium is reached as follows.

$q_{2} = \frac{Qr_{2}}{r_{1} + r_{2}}$

= $\frac{-95.5 \times 74.4 cm}{(11.5 + 74.4) cm}$

= 82.714 nC

Thus, we can conclude that the charge on sphere B after equilibrium has been reached is 82.714 nC.

When you apply a horizontal force of 76 N to a block, the block moves across the floor at a constant speed ().When you apply a f

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we apply a horizontal force of 76 N to a block, the block moves across the floor at a constant speed. So net force on the block is zero .

It implies that a force ( frictional ) acts on it which is equal to 76 N in opposite direction ( friction )

When we apply a greater force on it it starts moving with acceleration .

This time kinetic friction acts on it due to rough ground equal to 76 N .This is limiting friction ( maximum friction )

Net force on the body in later case

= 89 - 76

= 13 N

Force by ground on the block in horizontal direction = 76 N ( FRICTIONAL FORCE )

A high-pass filter consists of a 1.66 μF capacitor in series with a 80.0 Ω resistor. The circuit is driven by an AC source with

Julli [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitor $C=1.66\ \mu F$

Resistor $R=80.0\ \Omega$

Peak voltage = 5.10 V

(A). We need to calculate the crossover frequency

Using formula of frequency

$f_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi R C}$

Where, R = resistor

C = capacitor

Put the value into the formula

$f_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times80.0\times1.66\times10^{-6}}$

$f_{c}=1198.45\ Hz$

(B). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = \dfrac{1}{2f_{c}}$

Using formula of $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=V_{0}(\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{R^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi fC})^2}})$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times\dfrac{1}{2}\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=2.280\ Volt$

(C). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = f_{c}$

Using formula of $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=3.606\ Volt$

(D). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = 2f_{c}$

Using formula of $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times2\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=4.561\ Volt$

Hence, This is the required solution.
