Answer:

Sound vibrations travel in a wave pattern, and we call these vibrations sound waves. Sound waves move by vibrating objects and these objects vibrate other surrounding objects, carrying the sound along. ... Sound can move through the air, water, or solids, as long as there are particles to bounce off of.

An object whose specific gravity is 0.850 is placed in water. What fraction of the object is below the surface of the water?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850

Specific gravity is given as;

$specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3$

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

$= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}$

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

natita [175]

Answer:

3.258 m/s

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)

x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)

$\mu$ = Coefficient of friction = 0.4

Energy stored in spring is given by

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 263\times 0.7^2\\\Rightarrow U=64.435\ J$

As the energy in the system is conserved we have

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=U-\mu mgx\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{U-\mu mgx}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{64.435-0.4\times 8\times 9.81\times 0.7}{8}}\\\Rightarrow v=3.258\ m/s$

The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s

Which image illustrates why dark clothing helps to keep you warm on a cool, sunny day?

xeze [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

I suppose it has to do with the way the diagram is drawn. The heat does not reflect which makes both A and B incorrect.

C would have nothing to do with either reflection or refraction.

That only leaves D which is the answer.

John runs 120 meters in 10 seconds and then runs back to where he started in another 10 seconds. Which statement is true? Rememb

atroni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. His speed is 0 m/s

B. His velocity is 12 m/s

C. His velocity is 0 m/s

D. His acceleration is 12 m/s

Total distance traveled by John = 120 + 120 = 240 meters

Total time taken by John to cover the distance = 10 + 10 = 20 s

Average speed of John = total distance traveled/total time taken

= 240/20 = 12 m/s

Hence, the average speed/velocity of John throughout the journey is 12 m/s.

The correct option is B.
