What is Archimedes principle?

1 answer:

6 0

Archimedes' principle states that a body immersed in a fluid is subjected to an upwards force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. This is a first condition of equilibrium. We consider that the above force, called force of buoyancy, is located in the centre of the submerged hull that we call centre of buoyancy.

How can an element be identified using its emission spectrum?

The correct choice is C .

Technically, choice-A is the process involved. But it's already been done,
and widely published, and the spectrum of every element is easily available.

For you to take the time and go to the trouble of constructing the spectra
would be like inventing wheels if you want to ride a bicycle.

soaring birds and glider pilots can remain aloft for hours without expending power. Discuss why this is so.

vekshin1

Answer:

Since their wings and body develop the drag. When there is warm air then they expand their wings. Since,soaring birds and glider pilots have no engine, they always maintain their high speed to lift their weight in air for hours without expending power by convection

An object of mass 6 kg. is resting on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force

son4ous [18]

Answer:

a) The work done by the applied force is 1500 joules.

b) The kinetic energy of the block after 10 seconds is 1200 joules.

c) The magnitude of the force of friction is 3 newtons and its direction is against motion.

d) 300 joules of energy are lost during motion.

Explanation:

a) Since the object has a constant mass, on which a constant horizontal force is exerted. The work done by the force ( $W$ ), measured in joules, is defined by the following expression:

$W = F\cdot \Delta x$ (1)

Where:

$F$ - Force, measured in newtons.

$\Delta x$ - Distance, measured in meters.

If we know that $F = 15\,N$ and $\Delta x = 100\,m$ , then the work done by the force exerted on the object is:

$W = (15\,N)\cdot (100\,m)$

$W = 1500\,J$

The work done by the applied force is 1500 joules.

b) At first we need to calculate the net acceleration of the object ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second. By assuming a constant acceleration, we use the following kinematic formula:

$\Delta x = v_{o}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2}$ (2)

Where $v_{o}$ is the initial velocity of the object, measured in meters per second.

We clear the acceleration within the equation above:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot a \cdot t^{2} = \Delta x-v_{o}\cdot t$

$a = \frac{2\cdot (\Delta x - v_{o}\cdot t)}{t^{2}}$

If we know that $\Delta x = 100\,m$ , $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $t = 10\,s$ , then the net acceleration experimented by the object is:

$a = \frac{2\cdot \left[100\,m-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (10\,s)\right]}{(10\,s)^{2}}$

$a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

By the 2nd Newton's Law, we construct the following equation of equilibrium under the consideration of a friction force acting against the motion of the object:

$\Sigma F = F - f = m\cdot a$ (3)

Where:

$F$ - External force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.

$f$ - Kinetic friction force, measured in newtons.

If we know that $F = 15\,N$ , $m = 6\,kg$ and $a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the kinetic friction force is:

$f = F-m\cdot a$

$f = 15\,N-(6\,kg)\cdot \left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$f = 3\,N$

The work done by friction ( $W'$ ), measured in joules, is:

$W' = f\cdot \Delta x$ (4)

$W' = (3\,N) \cdot (100\,m)$

$W' = 300\,J$

And the net work experimented by the object is:

$\Delta W = 1500\,J - 300\,J$

$\Delta W = 1200\,J$

By the Work-Energy Theorem we understand that change in translational kinetic energy ( $\Delta K$ ), measured in joules, is equal to the change in net work. That is:

$\Delta K = \Delta W$ (5)

If we know that $\Delta W = 1200\,J$ , then the change in translational kinetic energy is:

$\Delta K = 1200\,J$

The kinetic energy of the block after 10 seconds is 1200 joules.

c) The magnitude of the force of friction is 3 newtons and its direction is against motion.

d) The energy lost by the object is equal to the work done by the force of friction. Therefore, 300 joules of energy are lost during motion.
