I would say that this is the first law of thermodynamics.
Answer:
buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N
Explanation:
We know that
buoyant force(F_B) on a block= weight of the block in air (actual weight) - weight of block in water.
Given:
A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water.
F_B = 40-30= 10 N
therefore, buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N
Answer:
t = 1.41 sec.
Explanation:
If we assume that the acceleration of the blocks is constant, we can apply any of the kinematic equations to get the time since the block 2 was released till it reached the floor.
First, we need to find the value of acceleration, which is the same for both blocks.
If we take as our system both blocks, and think about the pulley as redirecting the force simply (as tension in the strings behave like internal forces) , we can apply Newton's 2nd Law, as they were moving along the same axis, aiming at opposite directions, as follows:
F = m₂*g - m₁*g = (m₁+m₂)*a (we choose as positive the direction of the acceleration, will be the one defined by the larger mass, in this case m₂)
⇒ a = (
= g/5 m/s²
Once we got the value of a, we can use for instance this kinematic equation, and solve for t:
Δx = 1/2*a*t² ⇒ t² = (2* 1.96m *5)/g = 2 sec² ⇒ t = √2 = 1.41 sec.
The law of conservation of energy implies that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be changed from one form to another.
