<u>Answer </u>

D. Salt water is denser than freshwater.

<u>Explanation</u>

A boat is able to float on water because it experiences an upthrust upwards.

The magnitude of the upthrust depends on the density of the liquid.

When the liquid is denser the boat will experience a great upthrust as compared to when in a less dense liquid.

If the boat sinks lower in the freshwater than in salty water, then Salt water is more dense than freshwater.

Answer: D) Salt water is more dense than freshwater.

Explanation: Suppose that you have a glass of water, and you put a little amount of salt in it and mix it.

Now you may see that there is more matter in the glass (the volume of the solution inside the glass also may increase, but not in an appreciable magnitude compared with the increase in mass). And you may know, the density is calculated:

Density = Mass/volume

So if you have more mass in the same volume, this means that the density increases.

And is easier to float in a denser medium than in a low density medium (is easier to float in honey than in water, for example)

So if the medium if denser, the boat will float more easily.

Then the right answer is option D:  Salt water is more dense than freshwater

Study this equation carefully. What classification should this reaction have? Cu + 2AgNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag synthesis decomposition
mario62 [17]

Answer;

-Single replacement

Explanation;

The reaction;

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3= Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag , is an example of a single replacement reaction.

-It is a type of chemical reaction where an element reacts with a compound and takes the place of another element in that compound.

In the above reaction copper(Cu) takes the place of silver(Ag) in the salt AgNO3 to form Copper (ii) nitrate (CuNO3) and silver metal (Ag).

- Another example of a single replacement reaction occurs when potassium (K) reacts with water (H2O). A colorless solid compound named potassium hydroxide (KOH) forms, and hydrogen gas (H2) is set free.

The color of light emitted by a hot, solid object depends on ______.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Explanation:

When the temperature of the hot solid object increases then the radiation which emits from it gets shifted to smaller wavelength or higher frequencies. The hot appears red color.

The total energy emitted of a hot solid object is directly proportional to the fourth power of the temperature of the black body.

For example, when we switch on the light bulb, initially the radiation of the bulb appears dimmer. Then, it will become brighter. Then, it will turn yellow and then it becomes even white.

The color of the light emitted by a hot solid object depends on the temperature of the object.

Therefore, the correct option is (A).

One of two 25-year-old identical twins begins a trip on a spaceship traveling at 0.8 c while her twin remains on Earth. The twin
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

This equation is based on twin paradox - a phenomena where one of the twin travels to space at a speed close to speed of light and the other remains on earth. the twin from the space on return discovers that the one on earth age faster.

Solution:

t_{o} = 10 years

v = 0.8c

c = speed of light in vacuum

The problem can be solved by time dilation equation:

t = \frac{t_{o}}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}            (1)

where,

t = time observed from a different inertial frame

Now, using eqn (1), we get:

t = \frac{10}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.8c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

t = 16.67 years

The age of the twin on spaceship according to the one on earth = 25+16.67 =41.66 years

For a short period of time, the frictional driving force acting on the wheels of the 2.5-Mg van is N, where t is in seconds. If
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

15.6m/s

Completed Question;

For a short period of time, the frictional driving force acting on the wheels of the 2.5-Mg van is N= 600t^2 , where t is in seconds. If the van has a speed of 20 km/h when t = 0, determine its speed when t = 5

Explanation:

Mass m = 2500kg

Speed v1 = 20km/h = 20/3.6 m/s = 5.556 m/s

To determine speed v2;

Using the principle of momentum and impulse;

mv1 + ∫₀⁵ F dt = mv2
