Anything less dense than water will float, like oil. Anything more dense than water will sink, like rock.

What kind of energy does a rubber band have when it is stretched?
RideAnS [48]
Elastic potential energy. When you stretch a rubber band it has the "potential" to do work, to fly in a given direction. In doing so it changes it's elastic potential energy to kinetic energy.

Si un ciclista se mueve a una velocidad de 5 m/s y acelera 1 m/s2, a los 10 segundos su velocidad será
MrRa [10]

Answer:

A los 10 segundos su velocidad será 15 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

La aceleración de un objeto es una magnitud que indica cómo cambia la velocidad del objeto en una unidad de tiempo.

En otras palabras, la aceleración relaciona los cambios de la velocidad con el tiempo en el que se producen, es decir que mide cómo de rápidos son los cambios de velocidad:

  • Una aceleración grande significa que la velocidad cambia rápidamente.
  • Una aceleración pequeña significa que la velocidad cambia lentamente.
  • Una aceleración cero significa que la velocidad no cambia.

La aceleración "a" puede ser calculada mediante la expresión:

a=\frac{vfinal - vinicial}{tiempo}

En este caso:

  • a= 1 \frac{m}{s^{2} }
  • vfinal= ?
  • vinicial= 5 \frac{m}{s}
  • tiempo= 10 s

Reemplazando:

1\frac{m}{s^{2} }=\frac{vfinal - 5\frac{m}{s} }{10 s}

Resolviendo se obtiene:

1 \frac{m}{s^{2} } *10 s= vfinal - 5 \frac{m}{s}

10 \frac{m}{s} = vfinal - 5 \frac{m}{s}

10 \frac{m}{s} + 5 \frac{m}{s} = vfinal

15 \frac{m}{s} = vfinal

<u><em>A los 10 segundos su velocidad será 15 </em></u>\frac{m}{s}<u><em></em></u>

A commercial aircraft is flying westbound east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. The pilot observes billow clouds ne
Andreyy89

Answer:

<em>Billow clouds provide a visible signal to aviation interests of potentially dangerous turbulent sky since they indicate instability in air currents.</em>

Explanation:

Billow clouds are created in regions that are not stable in a meteorological sense. They are frequently present in places with air flows, and have marked vertical shear and weak thermal separation and inversion (colder air stays on top of warmer air). Billow clouds are formed when two air currents of varying speeds meet in the atmosphere. They create a stunning sight that looks like rolling ocean waves. Billow clouds have a very short life span of minutes but they provide a visible signal to aviation interests of potentially dangerous turbulent sky since they indicate instability in air currents, which although may not affect us on the ground but is a concern to aircraft pilots. The turbulence due to the Billow wave is the only logical explanation for the loss of 500 m in altitude of the plane.
