Answer:

The surface tension of plain water can cause a needle to float.

Evidently, the addition of detergent to the water reduces the surface tension of the liquid causing the needle to sink.

A box is dropped onto a conveyor belt moving at 3.2 m/s. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the belt is 0.28, ho
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

t = 1.16 s.

Explanation:

Given,

speed of conveyor belt, v = 3.2 m/s

coefficient of friction,f = 0.28

Using newton second law

f = ma

and we also know that frictional force

f = μ N

f = μ m g

equating both the force equation

a = μ g

a = 0.28 x 9.81

a = 2.75 m/s²

Using Kinematic equation

v = u + at

3.2 = 0 + 2.75 x t

t = 1.16 s.

Time taken by the box to move without slipping is 1.16 s.

At a certain instant a particle is moving in the +x direction with momentum +8 kg m/s. During the next 0.13 seconds a constant f
jeka94

Answer:

The momentum of the particle at the end of the 0.13 s time interval is 7.12 kg m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of the particle is related to force by the following equation:

Δp = F · Δt

Where:

Δp =  change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

F = constant force.

Δt = time interval.

Let´s calculate the x-component of the momentum after the 0.13 s:

final momentum - 8 kg m/s = -7 N · 0.13 s

final momentum = -7 kg m/s² · 0.13 s + 8 kg m/s

final momentum = 7.09 kg m/s

Now let´s calculate the y-component of the momentum vector after the 0.13 s. Since the particle wasn´t moving in the y-direction, the initial momentum in this direction is zero:

final momentum = 5 kg m/s² · 0.13 s

final momentum = 0.65 kg m/s

Then, the mometum vector will be as follows:

p = (7.09 kg m/s,  0.65 kg m/s)

The magnitude of this vector is calculated as follows:

|p| = \sqrt{(7.09 kg m/s)^{2} + (0.65 kg m/s)^{2}} = 7.12 kg m/s

The momentum of the particle at the end of the 0.13 s time interval is 7.12 kg m/s

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

D. It has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A principle is simply a proposition based on some results from some experiments. A principle becomes a law when it gains strength. That is when other scientists support and back it.

A scientific law is a statement that describes a natural phenomenon and is not contradicted by repeated experiments over the time.

Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravitation stated "A gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them."

His law explained that every body in the universe attracts every other body. It explained that it is not just Earth that pulls us towards it. But even sun and moon has their own gravitational pull and so does all other objects. It is just that the Gravitational pull of some objects is negligible.

Newton's law of Gravitation is considered a universal law because it is applicable to almost all the bodies in the universe and is demonstrated to be correct for them under certain conditions.

How are scientists monitoring and studying the effects on the herring?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:In the decades prior to 1993 there was a robust Pacific herring population in Prince William Sound (PWS). Not only are these forage fish a key link in the complex food web of PWS, but they supported a lucrative early-season commercial fishery that brought the communities of the Sound to life each spring. By 1994, that fishery was closed and only briefly reopened for two years in the late 1990s. The current, approximately 10,000-ton biomass, is tiny compared to the peak value of 130,000 tons or the long-term average prior to the collapse of around 65,000 ton.
