Based on Archimedes' principle, the greatest buoyant force an object can experience in water is determined by which quantity?

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

B. The object's volume

Explanation:

When an object is immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force. The magnitude of the buoyant force is given by:

$B=\rho_f V_{disp} g$

where

$\rho_f$ is the density of the fluid in which the object is immersed

$V_{disp}$ is the volume of the fluid displaced by the object

$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity

When the object is totally immersed in the fluid, $V_{disp}$ corresponds to the volume of the object; when the object is only partially immersed, $V_{disp}$ corresponds only to the volume of the part of the object immersed.

From the formula, we see that the greatest buoyant force is experienced by the object when it is fully immersed. Moreover, we see that the buoyant force depends only on one property of the object: its volume. Therefore, the correct choice is

B. The object's volume

What object best represents a true scale model of the shape of earth?

BabaBlast [244]

Any object that is spherical in shape would best represent a true scale model of the shape of the Earth. Examples are ping pong balls, billiard balls, marble and other smooth spherical objects. The shape of the Earth is called the oblate spheroid. The "oblate" would refer to an oblong shape and "spheroid" would refer to an almost spherical shape. The earth has on almost spherical shape and has a slightly oblong appearance. The diameter from the South pole to the north pole was measured to have a value of 12714 km while the diameter of the equator is approximately 12756 km. As you can see, the values are not equal. This makes the earth not a perfect sphere.

What is mechanical energy

netineya [11]

Explanation:

In physical sciences, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant. If an object moves in the opposite direction of a conservative net force, the potential energy will increase; and if the speed (not the velocity) of the object changes, the kinetic energy of the object also changes. In all real systems, however, nonconservative forces, such as frictional forces, will be present, but if they are of negligible magnitude, the mechanical energy changes little and its conservation is a useful approximation. In elastic collisions, the kinetic energy is conserved, but in inelastic collisions some mechanical energy may be converted into thermal energy. The equivalence between lost mechanical energy (dissipation) and an increase in temperature was discovered by James Prescott Joule.

The potential difference between the plates of a capacitor is 145 V. Midway between the plates, a proton and an electron are rel

aniked [119]

Answer:

= 2.52 x 10^ 6 m/s

Explanation:

The force that acts on charged particles between capacitor plates =

F = (q) (Δv) ÷ d

Here, d = distance between the two plates

q = charge of the charged particle

Δv = voltage

Normally, the force that makes both proton and electron released from rest, giving the charge acceleration is F=m X a. where m= mass and a = acceleration

Poting this equation with the first one, we have:

m X a = (q) (Δv) ÷ d

So, the acceleration of a proton when moving towards a negatively charged plate is

a = (q) (Δv) ÷ (d) (m) {proton}

Likewise, the acceleration of an electron when moving towards a positively charged plate is

a = (q) (Δv) ÷ (d) (m) {electron}

Dividing the proton acceleration formula by the electron acceleration formula we have:

a (proton) / a (electron) = m (proton) / m(electron)

inserting equation of motion to get distance, s

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

recall that electron travel distance, d/2

d/2 = 1/2 at^2

making t the subject of the formula

we have, t =√(d ÷ a(electron))

The distance of proton:

d/2 = ut + 1/2 at^2 [proton}

put d/2 = ut + 1/2 at^2 [proton} into t =√(d ÷ a(electron))

Initial speed, ui = √(d ÷ a(electron)) = (d/2) - (1/2) x (d) (a(proton) + a(electron))

since acceleration wasn't given in the question, lets use mass(elect

ron) ÷ mass(proton) rather than use (a(proton) + a(electron))

Therefore, intial speed= 1/2√((e X Δv) ÷ m(electron)) (1- m(electron)/ m(proton))

Note, e = 1.60 x 10^-19

m(electron) = 9.11 X 10^-31

m(proton) = 1.67 X 10^-27

Input these values into the formula above, initial speed, UI =

= 2.52 x 10^ 6 m/s
