Assume that you are given the choice among two life preservers that are identical in size, the first a light one filled with Styrofoam and the second a very heavy one filled with gravel. If you submerge these life preservers in the water, upon which will the buoyant force be greater? Upon which will the buoyant force be ineffective?

Take the capacitor to lose half of its charge-stored energy : A 12.0 uF capacitor is charged to a potential of 50-V and then discharged during a 175 ohm resistor. How long does it take the capacitor to lose (a) half of its charge and (b) half of its stored energy?

Express the kinetic energy of the proton in ev : The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by 5mm. The electric field among them is 4.2 x 10^5 V/m. A proton is released with an initial velocity of zero at the positive plate. Suppose there is a vacuum between the plates.

How far away is the reflecting object : A sound wave traveling at 342m/s is emitted with the foghorn of a tugboat. An echo is heard 3.80 s later. How far away is the reflecting object?

Two stationary point charges-what is the speed of electron : Two stationary point charges +3.00 nC and +2.00 nC are separated by distance of 50.0 cm. An electron is released from rest at point midway among the two charges and moves along the line connecting the two charges. What is the speed of the electron wh..

Compute the final kinetic energies of the bullet and of bar : A homogeneous bar of length L can rotate on a horizontal frictionless plane around a vertical axis passing during one of its ends (moment of inertia I = ML2/3). It is at rest until a small bullet of mass m with velocity v perpendicular to the bar hit..

What is the source of the centripetal force acting on riders : At amusement parks, there is a popular ride where the floor of a rotating cylindrical room falls away, leaving the backs of the riders "plastered" against the wall. Assume the radius of the room is 3.25 m and the speed of the wall is 12.8 m/s when th..
