Which as more weight a kilogram of bricks in air or a kilogram of feathers in water? Explain your answer.

1 answer:

3 0

A kilogram is a unit of weight. So a kilogram of bricks would weigh the same as a kilogram of feathers despite if its in water or air since weight is determined by gravity in relation to mass and not what substance the object is in.

Iteru [2.4K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Gravitational Force, for this purpose it is understood that the gravitational force is described as

$F_g = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Force

$m_i =$ Mass of each object

To solve this problem it is necessary to divide the gravitational force (x, y) into the required components and then use the tangent to find the angle generated between both components.

Our values are given as,

$m_1 =4.6 kg\\m_2 = 7.2 kg\\m_3 = 2.6 kg\\r_1 = 5.7 m\\r_2 = 4.2 m$

Applying the previous equation at X-Axis,

$F_x = \frac{Gm_1m_3}{R_{1}^2}\\F_x = \frac{6.67*10^{-11}*4.6*2.6}{5.7^2}\\F_x = 2.46*10^{-11}N$

Applying the previous equation at Y-Axis,

$F_y = \frac{Gm_2m_3}{R_2^2}\\F_y = \frac{6.67*10^{-11}*7.2*2.6}{4.2^2}\\F_y = 7.08*10^{-11} N$

Therefore the angle can be calculated as,

$tan\theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}\\\theta = tan^{-1} \frac{F_y}{F_x}\\\theta = tan^{-1} \frac{7.08*10^{-11}}{2.46*10^{-11}}\\\theta = 71\°$

Then in the measure contrary to the hands of the clock the Force in the particle 3 is in between the positive direction of the X and the negative direction of the Y at 71 ° from the positive x-axis.

Which characteristic of a light wave must increase

anzhelika [568]

The answer is 4.

The speed of light is faster in the air than in the glass, because a wavelength can be refracted in glass. Because the speed increases when the light wave passes from glass into air, the wavelength will also increase.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

the pressure fluctuation is LONGITUDINAL

Explanation:

Sound waves are an oscillating movement of air particles, this can be analyzed in two different, but equivalent ways, as an air oscillation and with a pressure wave due to these oscillations.

The expression for the wave is

ΔP = Δo sin (kx - wt)

Therefore, the pressure variation is in the same direction as the displacement variation, consequently the pressure fluctuation is LONGITUDINAL
