Wood floats, whereas the key doesn’t. If you attach the 2 together than the wood would prevent the key from sinking.

It could prevent the key from sinking because the wood would float.

It floats because it weighs less than amount of water it would have to push out of the glass if it sank. Wood, cork, and ice are all less dense than water, and they float; rocks are more dense, so they sink. A key would also be more dense causing it to sink.

Hope this helps,

A power lifter performs a dead lift, raising a barbell with a mass of 305 kg to a height of 0.42 m above the ground, giving the

Ann [662]

Answer:

Explanation:

Before it hits the ground:

The initial potential energy = the final potential energy + the kinetic energy

mgH = mgh + 1/2 mv²

gH = gh + 1/2 v²

v = √(2g (H - h))

v = √(2 * 9.81 m/s² * (0.42 m - 0.21 m))

v ≈ 2.0 m/s

When it hits the ground:

Initial potential energy = final kinetic energy

mgH = 1/2 mv²

v = √(2gH)

v = √(2 * 9.81 m/s² * 0.42 m)

v ≈ 2.9 m/s

Using a kinematic equation to check our answer:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2(9.8 m/s²)(0.42 m)

v ≈ 2.9 m/s

If you place bean seeds between moist paper towels and watch the stems and leaves appears,you will see a demonstration of??

Alenkinab [10]

<span>Germination Germination is the procedure of seeds forming into new plants. To start with, ecological conditions must trigger the seed to develop. For the most part, this is controlled by how profound the seed is planted, water accessibility, and temperature. At the point when water is abundant, the seed loads with water in a procedure called imbibition.</span>

What does it mean to say the mass is conserved during a physical change ?

Olin [163]

Mater doesn't just appear or disappeared. Chemical elements are still there just the connections and how it combines changes.

So what goes into your chemical eqation must still exist after the change.

What is the electric potential energy of an electron at the negative end of the cable, relative to the positive end of the cable

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Electric potential energy at the negative terminal: $1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

Explanation:

When a particle with charge $q$ travels across a potential difference $\Delta V$ , then its change in electric potential energy is

$\Delta U = q \Delta V$

In this problem, we know that:

The particle is an electron, so its charge is

$q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C$

We also know that the positive terminal is at potential

$V_+=0V$

While the negative terminal is at potential

$V_-=-12 V$

Therefore, the potential difference (final minus initial) is

$\Delta V = -12-0 = -12 V$

So, the change in potential energy of the electron is

$\Delta U = (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-12)=1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

This means that the electron when it is at the negative terminal has $1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$ of energy more than when it is at the positive terminal.

Since the potential at the positive terminal is 0, this means that the electric potential energy of the electron at the negative end is

$1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

Why is it cold in the mountains if heat rises?

hjlf

Answer:

look at explanation

Explanation:

If heat rises, then why is it so cold at the top of a mountain? Heat does indeed rise. More specifically, a mass of air that is warmer than the air around it expands, becomes less dense, and will therefore float atop the cooler air. ... So when warm air rises, it cools off.
