Answer: E) A) salt water.

Explanation:

E) In equilibrium, pressure exerts equally in all directions, so for a given depth, the pressure is the same for all points located at the same depth, and it can be written as follows:

p = p₀ + ρ.g.h, where p₀ = atmospheric pressure, ρ=fluid density, h=depth from the surface.

A) The buoyant force, as discovered by Archimedes, is an upward force, that opposes to the weight of an object (as it is always downward), and is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid that the object removes, which means that is proportional to the density of the liquid.

As salt water is denser than fresh water, the buoyant force exerted by the salt water is always greater than the one produced by the fresh water, so objects will float more easily in salt water than in fresh water.

In the limit, it is possible that one object float in salt water and sink in fresh water.

Answer:

w = √ 1 / CL

This does not violate energy conservation because the voltage of the power source is equal to the voltage drop in the resistence

Explanation:

This problem refers to electrical circuits, the circuits where this phenomenon occurs are series RLC circuits, where the resistor, the capacitor and the inductance are placed in series.

In these circuits the impedance is

X = √ (R² + ( $X_{C}$ - $X_{L}$ )² )

where Xc and XL is the capacitive and inductive impedance, respectively

X_{C} = 1 / wC

X_{L} = wL

From this expression we can see that for the resonance frequency

X_{C} = X_{L}

the impedance of the circuit is minimal, therefore the current and voltage are maximum and an increase in signal intensity is observed.

This does not violate energy conservation because the voltage of the power source is equal to the voltage drop in the resistence

V = IR

Since the contribution of the two other components is canceled, this occurs for

X_{C} = X_{L}

1 / wC = w L

w = √ 1 / CL

A planet of mass M and radius R has no atmosphere. The escape velocity at its surface is ve. An object of mass m is at rest a di

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for escape velocity

ve = $\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$

ve² R / 2 = GM

M is mass of the planet , R is radius of the planet .

At distance r >> R , potential energy of object

= $\frac{-GMm}{r}$

Since the object is at rest at that point , kinetic energy will be zero .

Total mechanical energy = $\frac{-GMm}{r}$ + 0 = $\frac{-GMm}{r}$

Putting the value of GM = ve² R / 2

Total mechanical energy = ve² Rm / 2 r

This mechanical energy will be conserved while falling down on the earth due to law of conservation of mechanical energy . So at surface of the earth , total mechanical energy

= ve² Rm / 2 r

Suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Which pair would you expect to b

Ainat [17]

Answer: the pair of sunglasses

Explanation:

A good pair of sunglasses are composed of abosorbent lenses that filter the sunlight that affects the eyes retina, especially ultraviolet (UV). So, these sunglasses are used to reduce the amount of light or radiant energy transmitted.

On the other hand, normal reading glasses (in which the lens glass has not been treated to filter ultraviolet sunlight) will let UV rays pass through.

Therefore, if both glasses are exposed to sunlight, the sunglasses are expected to be warmer by absorbing that radiant energy and preventing it from reaching the eyes.
