water and air are both fluids. why is it easier to lift a rock in water rather thatn lifting a rock in air? a the force of gravity. b the bouyant force is greater on the rock in water. c the bouyant force is greater on the rock in air. d the force of gravity on the rock is less in water.

Which configuration would produce an electric current? a) rotate a coil of copper wire between two magnets. b) connect a wire between a copper and zinc strip sitting in a beaker of water. c) connect a wire to the (+) positive end of a battery and the other end to a light bulb. d) connect a wire to the negative end of a battery and the other end to a light bulb.

Acommon technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. the purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant constants that can obscure the salient features of the data. the goal of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that the flux of light decreases as the square of the distance from the source. in this case, the absolute value of the voltage measured by the photometer is irrelevant; only the relative value conveys useful information. suppose that in part 2.2.2 of the experiment, students obtain a signal value of 162 mv at a distance of 4 cm and a value of 86 mv at a distance of 5.7 cm. normalize the students' data to the value obtained at 4 cm. (divide the signal value by 162.) then calculate the theoretically expected (normalized) value at 5.7 cm.
