A 15 cm3 block of gold weighs 2.8 N. It is carefully submerged in a tank of mercury. One cm3 of mercury weighs 0.13 N.

Physics

The density of gold is  2.8 N / 15 = 0.18 units
The density of mercury is 0.13/1 = 0.13 units

Since the density of gold is more than density of mercury, it will sink.
Since the gold will sink, it will displace mercury, but less than its own volume

Two objects made of the same material are heated to 60 oC and 90 oC. According to
nlexa [21]
Assuming that there is in a vacuum, the two object will cool at the same rate, because the objects are made of the same material they will have the same cooling rate, assuming the surrounding temperature is the same.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

v = 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

The wavelength of the waves is given as the horizontal distance between the crests:

λ = wavelength = 5.5 m

Now, the time period is given as the time taken by boat to move from the highest point again to the highest point. So it will be equal to twice the time taken by the boat to travel from highest to the lowest point:

T = Time Period = 2(2.3 s) = 4.6 s

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

v = f\lambda

where,

v= speed of wave = ?

f = frequency of wave = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{4.6\ s} = 0.217\ Hz

Therefore,

v = (0.217\ Hz)(5.5\ m)\\

<u>v = 1.2 m/s</u>

According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of
Darina [25.2K]

Before going to answer this question first we have to understand reflection and laws of reflection.

Reflection is the optical phenomenon in which light will bounce back to the same medium from which it had originated .

Whenever a light ray will incident on a mirror or any reflecting surface, it will be reflected. The ray which falls on the reflecting surface is called incident ray and the ray which is reflected is called reflected ray.

Let us consider a normal to the point of incidence.The angle made by incident ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as[ i ]

The angle made by the reflected ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as [r]

There are two types of reflection.One is called regular and other one is called as irregular.The laws of reflection is valid for both the types of reflection.

There are two laws of reflection.

FIRST LAW -It states that the incident ray,reflected ray and the normal to the point of incidence,all lie in one plane.

SECOND LAW- It states that that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection irrespective of the type of reflection.i.e i =r

Hence the correct answer will be angle of reflection.
