Answer:
Explanation:
Let the volume below water be v . Then
buoyant force = v d g where d is density of water , g is acceleration due to gravity
= v x 1000 x g
weight of wood piece = volume x density of wood x g
= .6 x 600 x g
for equilibrium while floating
buoyant force = weight
= v x 1000 x g = .6 x 600 x g
v = .36 m²
volume above water or volume exposed = .6 - .36
= .24 m²
When immersed completely ,
buoyant force = .6 x 1000 x 9.8
= 5880 N
weight of wood
= .6 x 600 x g
= 3528 N
buoyant force is more than the weight . In order to equalise them for floating with full volume in water
weight required = 5880 - 3528
= 2352 N.
Answer:
1 * 10^-7 [J]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use dimensional analysis.
1 ergos [erg] is equal to 1 * 10^-7 Joules [J]
science hasnt figured it out yet
I'm trying to think of something that will give you the biggest bang for your buck, meaning what would give you the most number of energy transformations in their use.
Wind energy uses those great big windmills that transform wind into electrical energy. The wind is caused by the sun (which has nuclear energy, light energy and the earth's rotation which is not related to the sun but is mechanical energy). To start with you use mechanical energy. That energy drives a generator that stores it's energy in a battery. You have changed electrical energy into chemical energy. The batteries, on a calm day take over and provide electrical energy that must be transported to the consumers using it. Proponents of wind energy say that it is pollution free. It's not exactly true. The batteries used have to be manufactured (not a clean industry) and when they wear out, they pollute the environment if they cannot be recharged with new battery plates and acid (chemical).
Added to which wind energy is very noisy (sound energy) which has been linked to serious diseases.
