Click For Summary
Darryl's movement involves driving 14.0 km east, 6.0 km north, 12.0 km at a 15° angle north of east, and 2.0 km at a 65° angle north of east, totaling 42 minutes. A user shared their graph representing this movement and sought confirmation on its accuracy. Feedback indicated that the graph looked correct, alleviating the user's concerns about their solution. The discussion highlights the importance of visual representation in solving physics problems. Overall, the community provided supportive verification for the user's work.

The Attempt at a Solution


I posted my 'solution' in the thumbnail, I just wanted to know if this was correct or not. I've looked at a few problems similar to this one and I feel like I am getting something wrong, but I can't quite tell.

I really appreciate the verification! I was stressing out over whether I did it correctly or not for a while :p
 

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
