If you've ever mixed water and oil together,you've probably noticed that the oil rises to the top and the water stays at the bottom-- no matter how much you try to shake them. This is because oil is less dense than water, making it float to the top. The molecules in oil are larger than those in water, so they don't pack as tightly together as they do in water. In a mixture of oil and vinegar, the<span> </span>oil <span>floats on the </span>vinegar/<span>water mixture, while the solids sink to the bottom. So, if one material floats over another, the material on top is less dense. 

Let me know if this helps! :)</span>

You pull straight up on the string of a yo-yo with a force 0.35 N, and while your hand is moving up a distance 0.16 m, the yo-yo
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

a) 0.138J

b) 3.58m/S

c) (1.52J)(I)

Explanation:

a) to find the increase in the translational kinetic energy you can use the relation

\Delta E_k=W=W_g-W_p

where Wp is the work done by the person and Wg is the work done by the gravitational force

By replacing Wp=Fh1 and Wg=mgh2, being h1 the distance of the motion of the hand and h2 the distance of the yo-yo, m is the mass of the yo-yo, then you obtain:

Wp=(0.35N)(0.16m)=0.056J\\\\Wg=(0.062kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(0.32m)=0.19J\\\\\Delta E_k=W=0.19J-0.056J=0.138J

the change in the translational kinetic energy is 0.138J

b) the new speed of the yo-yo is obtained by using the previous result and the formula for the kinetic energy of an object:

\Delta E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2

where vf is the final speed, vo is the initial speed. By doing vf the subject of the formula and replacing you get:

v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2}{m}}\sqrt{\Delta E_k+(1/2)mv_o^2}\\\\v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2}{0.062kg}}\sqrt{0.138J+1/2(0.062kg)(2.9m/s)^2}=3.58\frac{m}{s}

the new speed is 3.58m/s

c) in this case what you can compute is the quotient between the initial rotational energy and the final rotational energy

\frac{E_{fr}}{E_{fr}}=\frac{1/2I\omega_f^2}{1/2I\omega_o^2}=\frac{\omega_f^2}{\omega_o^2}\\\\\omega_f=\frac{v_f}{r}\\\\\omega_o=\frac{v_o}{r}\\\\\frac{E_{fr}}{E_{fr}}=\frac{v_f^2}{v_o^2}=\frac{(3.58m/s)}{(2.9m/s)^2}=1.52J

hence, the change in Er is about 1.52J times the initial rotational energy

If a certain gas occupies a volume of 12 l when the applied pressure is 6.0 atm , find the pressure when the gas occupies a volu
dolphi86 [110]
From Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant absolute temperature. 
Therefore; P1V1 =P2V2; where PV is a constant
hence; 12 × 6 = 3× p2
           p2 = 72/3
                = 24 atm
Therefore; the new pressure will be 24 atm

Paolo says that his bicycle is hard to pedal.Mia looks at the bicycle and tells him he needs to oil the chain.explain why oiling
laila [671]

Answer:

Less friction

Explanation:

Paolo's bike is too difficult to pedal because there is too much friction in the mechanisms of the bike. To reduce friction, Paolo must oil the chain. This will make the bike run much more smoothly and allow for easier pedalling.

Pressure is about 1000 hPa at sea level and about 500 hPa at an altitude of 5.5 km. Why doesn’t this vertical pressure gradient
saul85 [17]

Answer:

A. The upward pressure gradient force is balanced by gravity.

Explanation:

A. is correct because the pressure difference is actually generated by gravity. As in the following formula for the pressure at different points:

p = p_0 + \rho g h

where p, p_0 are the pressure at 2 points, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height difference.

B is incorrect because friction in air is too small to make an effect.

C is incorrect because the Coriolis force is horizontal, not vertical.

D is incorrect because a difference of 500 hPa = 50000 Pa, this is half of the atmospheric pressure.

E is incorrect because temperature cannot generate force.
