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.

Total resistance= 7.75+15.5+21.7=44.95
Current = 15V/44.95=0.334A

Which of the following is one way that an electric motor's rotation speed can be controlled?

malfutka [58]

Depending on which type of motor you're talking about, but the first 3 are true. A stronger magnetic field in a DC motor will slow it down but increase its torque.
The amount of current in the motor will control the magnetic fields and therefore affect the speed (and torque). In an induction motor, the rotational speed is given by $n= \frac{120f}{p}$ where f is the line frequency and p is the number of poles. Thus fewer poles makes it go faster.
