S.2 Phy

1. Musa used the Archimedes' principle method to determine the density of a jack fruit by measuring the increase in water volume after it was submerged. The density was calculated to be 2500g/cm3. 2. Contact forces require direct physical contact between objects like normal contact forces, while non-contact forces act over a distance through fields like gravitational and electrostatic forces. 3. When an electric heater is placed midway between two flasks, one shiny and one blackened, the liquid in the blackened flask will heat up faster than the shiny flask due to its ability to absorb more infrared radiation from the heater.
