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.

salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance or path between two points.

1) Displacement = √(36² + 45²) = 57.63 miles

2) Displacement = √(100² + 500²) = 509.9 meters

3) Displacement = √(60² + 40²) = 72.11 miles

4) Displacement = √(700² + 500²) = 860.23 miles

5) Displacement = 300 - 300 = 0 miles

6) Displacement = 200 + 100 = 300 miles

7) Displacement = √(650² + 650²) = 919.24 miles

8) Yes, since a distance is moved in a direction

A 3.00 x 10^2-W electric immersion heater is

andre [41]

Answer

t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy:

$Heat\ Supplied\ By \ Heater = Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Glass + Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Water\\Pt = m_gC_g\Delta T_g + m_wC_w\Delta T_w\\$

where,

P = Electric Power of Heater = 300 W

t = time required = ?

m_g = mass of glass = 300 g = 0.3 kg

m_w = mass of water = 250 g = 0.25 kg

C_g = speicific heat of glass = 840 J/kg.°C

C_w = specific heatof water = 4184 J/kg.°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = Change in Temperature of Glass and water = 100°C - 15°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = 85°C

Therefore,

$(300\ W)(t) = (0.3\ kg)(840\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)+(0.25\ kg)(4184\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)\\$

<u>t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min</u>

A string of 26 identical Christmas tree lights are connected in series to a 120 V source. The string dissipates 73 W. What is th

spin [16.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Ohm's law and Electric Power. By Ohm's law we know that resistance is equivalent to,

$R_{eq}= \frac{V}{I}$

Here,

V = Voltage

I = Current

While the power is equivalent to the product between the current and the voltage, thus solving for the current we have,

$P=VI \rightarrow I = \frac{P}{V}$

$I =0.608 A$

Applying Ohm's law

$R_{eq} = \frac{120V}{0.608A}$

$R_{eq} = 197.4\Omega$

Therefore the equivalent resistance of the light string is $197.4\Omega$
