Archimedes Principle


Archimedes’ Principle state that “ When an object is immersed in a fluid (a liquid or a gas) ,the buoyant force  
( upthrust force) on the object  is equal  to the weight of fluid displaced by the object.

From  Archimedes’s Principle :

Buoyant Force, Fb  = Weight of fluid displace
            =  mg                 (note : F = ma)
            =  ρVg               (note : ρ = m/V  )
                                             
Thus     Fb     =   ρ V g

Where  Fb   =  Bouyant Force or Upthrust
             ρ     =  Density of fluid
            V     =  Volume of fluid displaced or the volume of the object that immersed in the fluid.


Equation for buoyant force

1. Buoyant force = Weight of fluid displaced
2. Buoyant force = ρVg
3. Buoyant force = Weight object in air – weight in water

Actual weight and apparent weight

Buoyant force makes thing seem to be lighter.

The weight of an object in air is its actual weight
The weight measured when the object is immersed in a fluid is its apparent weight.
The buoyant force is equal to the apparent loss in weight.
The object displaces a volume of water.
The bigger the volume of the object immersed, the bigger the volume of the liquid displaced.
•  Volume of liquid displaced  = volume of the submerged part of the  object.

Work example :


An object weights 2.5 N.  When it is fully submerged in a liquid, its apparent weight is 2.2 N.

(a) What is the buoyant  force on the object in  water?
 Tips : Fb= Wc- Wa

(b) What is the weight of water displaced by the object?
 Tips : Weight , W = mass, m x gravitational force, g
In SPM take g = 10 Nkg-1

(c) Determine the volume  of water displaced by  the object.
[density of water = 1000 kgm-3]
 Tips : Density = mass / volume 

(d) What is the volume of the object?
 Tips : Volume of liquid displaced  = volume of the submerged part of the  object.

Buoyant Force

An object immersed in water is subjected to two forces:
a. the weight of the object which acts downwards, (It pushes the object down)
b. an up-thrust or buoyant force which acts upwards.(it pushes the object up)


If the force from the weight of the object is greater than the force from buoyancy, the object sinks. 
Weight , W > Buoyant force, Fb ; object sink


If the buoyant force is greater than the force from the weight of the object, the object floats.


Weight , W < Buoyant force , Fb ; boject float

Free fall


Objects fall because they are pulled towards the Earth by the force of gravity.

This force is known as the pull of gravity or the earth’s gravitational force.

The earth’s gravitational force tends to pull everything towards its centre.

Free fall 
An object is falling freely when it is falling under the  force of gravity  only. 
Objects and people will experience weightlessness during free fall.

Examples of objects not in free fall:

  1. A piece of paper does not fall freely because its fall is affected by air resistance.
  2. Flying birds because there is also an additional force of lift.
Examples of objects in free  fall:

  1. An object falls freely only in vacuum. The absence of air means there is no air resistance to oppose the motion of the object. In vacuum, both light and heavy objects fall freely. They fall with the same acceleration ie. The acceleration due to gravity, g.
  2. In a falling elevator. 
(gravitational acceleration,g  =  9.8 ms-2, in SPM often approximated g as 10 ms-2)

Light bulb and resistance

Diagram shows a bulb labelled 12 V, 24 W.
a. What is meant be 12 V, 24 W.
b. Why filament is made of high resistance conductor.
c. State 2 factors that affected the resistance of the conductor (filament).

Suggested answer :


a. 12 V, 24 W means that the bulb will consume 24 J of electrical energy every second if it is connected to 12 V mains supply.

b. To give out more heat energy and the bulb will become brighter. 
(If you connect a bulb to a constant current source, then its brightness increases with increasing resistance, because the power I2 R is proportional to the resistance)
c.
i) Length of  conductor
The resistance of a conductor increases with length.


ii) Cross sectional area ( thickness) of  conductor
The thicker the conductor, the lower the resistance.

iii) Temperature of conductor 
Filament light bulbs are non Ohmic conductors,it resistance increases with temperature.
It is a known fact that as an filament light bulb gets hotter, it gets brighter as well.

iv) Material
For fixed length and thickness of a conductor, its resistance is affected by the type of material.
Example resistivity of tungsten is higher than aluminium.

Acceleration and Deceleration (Retardation)


In the context of linear motion, the direction of the object in motion does not change; but the magnitude of the velocity may change.
When the velocity of an object changes, the object is said to be accelerating.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity.

Acceleration is a vector quantity. SI unit for acceleration, a is ms-2, metre per second squared.


Positive acceleration
If the velocity of an object increases from an initial velocity, u, to a higher final velocity, v.
The acceleration of an object is uniform if its velocity increases at a uniform rate.

Negative acceleration is called deceleration.
If the velocity of an object decreases from an initial velocity, u, to a lower final velocity, v, its acceleration is negative.
The deceleration of an object is uniform if its velocity decreases at a uniform rate.

Zero acceleration
An object moving at a constant velocity, that is, the magnitude and direction of its velocity remain unchanged - is not accelerating; its acceleration is zero.

Quiz :

An object accelerates at a constant rate from rest and reaches a velocity of 10 ms-1 after 5.0 s.
What is it acceleration?

Tips : rest mean stationary ( zero velocity )

Speed of Sound

The speed of sound, v, in a medium can be determined using the formula v = fλ , whereλ is the wavelength and f is the frequency of the sound wave.

The SI units of v, f and λ are ms-1 , Hz and metre (m) respectively.

The speed of sound in solids is greater than the speed of sound in liquids which is greater than the speed of sound in gases.

The speed of sound is unaffected by pressure. If the atmospheric pressure changes, the speed of sound in air remains constant.

The speed of sound increases with temperature. At the peak of high-altitude mountains, the speed of sound is less than that at sea level. This is not due to the lower pressures but instead it is because of lower temperatures at the peak of the mountain.

Distance and displacement


Figure shows a boy cycles from A to B, and then from B to C.

i ) Calculate the distance travelled by the boy and the displacement of the boy.

ii ) Calculate the speed and the velocity of the boy if the boy took 10 s to cycle from A to B and then to C.

iii) then the boy travelled back to A from C, calculate the total distance and displacement travelled by the boy.

Tips to answer this question :

Distance is the actual distance that was covered
Distance depends on the path, from point A --> B --> C in the figure.
Distance (symbol d) does not have a direction, so it is a scalar . It
always positive

Displacement (symbol s) is the shortest distance from the starting point to the endpoint.
Distance independent of path taken , from point A to C in the figure.
Displacement has direction and is therefore a vector. It can be positive or negative

Speed is rate of change of distance
. Speed is scalar quantity

Velocity is rate of change of displacement. Velocity vector quantity.


Answer :

Distance
from A to B and then to is
3 m + 4 m
= 7 m

Displacement from A to B and then to C is 5 m.

Speed from A to B and then to C
7 m / 10 s
= 0.7 m/s

Velocity
from A to B and then to C is
5 m /10 s
= 0.5 m/s.

Distance from A-> B-> C -> B -> C is
3 m + 4 m + 3 m + 4 m
= 14 m

Displacement
from A-> B-> C -> B -> C is
5 m - 5 m
= 0 m
( Because the boy's location is the same as his starting location, we use negative sign to indicate opposite direction )
