Explain why an object floats on water. Use terms like buoyancy force and gravitational force.

Answer:

If an object pushes out an amount of water equal to its own weight, the upward force acting on it will be equal to gravity - and the object will float.

Explanation:

The buoyant force has an impact on the object in the water and equals the weight of the water displaced by the object. Every object placed in water has some buoyancy force that pushes it against the gravitational force, and this means that any object loses weight in the water.

When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the oxygen ion?

Mashutka [201]

-2. This is because it is gaining electrons. Electrons are negative. Therefore it is a negative charge.

Two cylindrical resistors are made of the same material and have the same resistance. The resistors, R1 and R2, have different r

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Option d is correct.

Explanation:

We know , resistance of a body is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its area.

$R=\dfrac{\rho\ L}{A}=\dfrac{\rho\ L}{\pi r^2}$ ( Here, $\rho$ is constant dependent on object material )

Writing $R_1 \ and\ R_2$ also :

$R_1=\dfrac{\rho\ L_1}{\pi r_1^2}\ , \ R_2=\dfrac{\rho\ L_2}{\pi r_2^2}$ ( since they are of same material therefore, $\rho$ is same.)

Now , if $r_2=2r_1 \ and \ 4L_1=L_2$ .

Then $R_1=R_2$

Therefore, option d. is correct.

Hence, this is the required solution.
