Answer:

Explanation:

more the density , more will be the buoyant force acting on it , less the density less will be the buoyant force acting on it. This is why people float in dead sea and sink in other seas

A 200-foot tall monument is located in the distance. From a window in a building, a person determines that the angle of elevatio

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

665 ft

Explanation:

Let d be the distance from the person to the monument. Note that d is perpendicular to the monument and would make 2 triangles with the monuments, 1 up and 1 down.

The side length of the up right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of elevation is 13 degrees is

$dtan13^0 = 0.231d$

Similarly, the side length of the down right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of depression is 4 degrees

$dtan4^0 = 0.07d$

Since the 2 sides length above make up the 200 foot monument, their total length is

0.231d + 0.07d = 200

0.301 d = 200

d = 200 / 0.301 = 665 ft

In a compound microscope, the objective has a focal length of 1.0 cm, the eyepiece has a focal length of 2.0 cm, and the tube le

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The value is $m \approx 310$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The focal length of the objective is $f_o = 1.0 \ cm$

The focal length of the eyepiece is $f_e = 2.0 \ cm$

The tube length is $L = 25 \ cm$

Generally the magnitude of the overall magnification is mathematically represented as

$m = m_o * m_e$

Where $m_o$ is the objective magnification which is mathematically represented as

$m_o = \frac{L}{f_o }$

=> $m_o = \frac{25}{1 }$

=> $m_o = 25$

$m_e$ is the eyepiece magnification which is mathematically evaluated as

$m_e = \frac{L }{f_e }$

$m_e = \frac{25 }{ 2}$

$m_e = 12.5 \ cm$

$m = 25 * 12.5$

$m \approx 310$

Uranium-235 decays to thorium-231 with a half-life of 700 million years. When a rock was formed, it contained 6400 million urani

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

proof in explanation

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the number of half-lives:

$n = \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}$

where,

n = no. of half-lives = ?

t = total time passed = 2100 million years

$t_{1/2}$ = half-life = 700 million years

Therefore,

$n = \frac{2100\ million\ years}{700\ million\ years}\\\\n = 3$

Now, we will calculate the number of uranium nuclei left ( $n_u$ ):

$n_u = \frac{1}{2^{n} }(total\ nuclei)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{2^{3} }(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{8}(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = 800\ million$

and the rest of the uranium nuclei will become thorium nuclei ( $u_{th}$ )

$n_{th} = total\ nuclei - n_u\\n_{th} = 6400\ million-800\ million\\n_{th} = 5600\ million$

dividing both:

$\frac{n_{th}}{n_u}=\frac{5600\ million}{800\ million} \\\\n_{th} = 7n_u$

<u>Hence, it is proven that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.</u>

13.<br>14. Why does a person feel weightlessness during freefall?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

When in free fall, the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity - a non-contact force. Since the force of gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces, you would have no sensation of it. You would feel weightless when in a state of free fall.
