Answer:
True the plastic will float because of the principle of flotation or buoyancy
Explanation:
Buoyancy explains it all!!
Buoyancy is the upward force/upthrust experienced by a body immersed totally or partially in a liquid.
According to the principle of flotation:
<em>"when a body is totally or partially immersed in liquid it experiences an upthrust which is equal to the volume of fluid displaced"</em>
The plastic will float due to the fact the average density of the total volume of the plastic and the air inside it is less than the same volume of water it is floating in
Answer:
a) f=0.1 Hz ; b) T=10s
c)λ= 36m
d)v=3.6m/s
e)amplitude, cannot be determined
Explanation:
Complete question is:
Determine, if possible, the wave's (a) frequency, (b) period, (c) wavelength, (d) speed, and (e) amplitude.
Given:
number of wave crests 'n'= 5
pass in a time't' 54.0s
distance between two successive crests 'd'= 36m
a) Frequency of the waves 'f' can be determined by dividing number of wave crests with time, so we have
f=n/t
f= 5/ 54 => 0.1Hz
b)The time period of wave 'T' is the reciprocal of the frequency
therefore,
T=1/f
T=1/0.1
T=10 sec.
c)wavelength'λ' is the distance between two successive crests i.e 36m
Therefore, λ= 36m
d) speed of the wave 'v' can be determined by the product of frequency and wavelength
v= fλ => 0.1 x 36
v=3.6m/s
e) For amplitude, no data is given in this question. So, it cannot be determined.
Answer:
d=360 miles
Donna lives 360 miles from the mountains.
Explanation:
Conceptual analysis
We apply the formula to calculate uniform moving distance[
d=v*t Formula (1)
d: distance in miles
t: time in hours
v: speed in miles/hour
Development of problem
The distance Donna traveled to the mountains is equal to the distance back home, equal to d,then,we pose the kinematic equations for d, applying formula 1:
travel data to the mountains: t₁= 8 hours , v=v₁
d= v₁*t₁=8*v₁ Equation (1)
data back home : t₂=4hours , v=v₂=v₁+45
d=v₂*t₂=(v₁+45)*4=4v₁+180 Equation (2)
Equation (1)=Equation (2)
8*v₁=4v₁+180
8*v₁-4v₁=180
4v₁=180
v₁=180÷4=45 miles/hour
we replace v₁=45 miles/hour in equation (1)
d=8hour*45miles/hour
d=360 miles
