6. What makes an object float rather than sink?

1 answer:

6 0

An object will float in any solution rather than sink, when the density of the object is less than that of the solution in which it is floating. This statement does not mean that the object has to be lighter in weight than the fluid in which it is floating. A great example is a ship floating in water. I hope the answer helps you.

Suppose that the average speed (vrms) of carbon dioxide molecules (molar mass 44.0 g/mol) in a flame is found to be 2.67 105 m/s

Answer:

$T = 1.26 \times 10^8 K$

Explanation:

As we know that rms speed of ideal gas is given by the formula

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$

here we know that

$v_{rms} = 2.67 \times 10^5 m/s$

molecular mass of gas is given as

$M = 44 g/mol = 0.044 kg/mol$

now from above formula we have

$2.67\times 10^5 = \sqrt{\frac{3(8.31)T}{0.044}}$

now we have

$T = 1.26 \times 10^8 K$

A boy on a 1.9 kg skateboard initially at rest tosses a(n) 7.8 kg jug of water in the forward direction. if the jug has a speed

Tresset [83]

For this case we first think that the skateboard and the child are one body.
We have then:
1 = jug
2 = skateboard + boy
By conservation of the linear amount of movement:
M1V1i + M2V2i = M1V1f + M2V2f
Initial rest:
v1i = v2i = 0
0 = M1V1f + M2V2f
Substituting values
0 = (7.8) (3.2) + (M2) (- 0.65)
0 = 24.96 + M2 (-0.65)
-24.96 = (-0.65) M2
M2 = (-24.96) / (- 0.65) = 38.4 kg
Then, the child's mass is:
M2 = Mskateboard + Mb
Clearing:
Mb = M2-Mskateboard
Mb = 38.4 - 1.9
Mb = 36.5 Kg
answer:
the boy's mass is 36.5 Kg

Two positive charges of same magnitude are separated by some distance if we bring a unit positive charge from one charge to anot

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Increases.

Explanation:

The electric potential increases when the two positive charges of same magnitude bring close to one charge to another because there is repulsive force between them due to same charge and when the two opposite charges move away from each other, the potential energy decreases. When two opposite charges are brought closer together, electric potential energy decreases while on the other hand, when we move opposite charges apart from each other than the work done against the attractive force that leads to an increase in electric potential energy.
