Answer:
True the plastic will float because of the principle of flotation or buoyancy
Explanation:
Buoyancy explains it all!!
Buoyancy is the upward force/upthrust experienced by a body immersed totally or partially in a liquid.
According to the principle of flotation:
<em>"when a body is totally or partially immersed in liquid it experiences an upthrust which is equal to the volume of fluid displaced"</em>
The plastic will float due to the fact the average density of the total volume of the plastic and the air inside it is less than the same volume of water it is floating in
Answer:
Mass and velocity.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:
where is the mass of the object, and is its velocity at a given point in time.
So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:
- mass of the ball
- velocity of the ball before it hits the ground
With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball before touching the gound can be determined.
Answer:
His kinetic energy increases, potential energy decreases
The sum of kinetic and potential energy is a constant at any instant before he comes to rest.
Explanation:
Snowboarder is starting from a height and moving to the down direction. As he moves down his velocity increases, we know that kinetic energy is given by the expression , so as he moves his kinetic energy increases.
When the snowboarder is starting his potential energy is maximum(Potential energy = mgh), as he comes down his potential energy decreases.
Based on this we can conclude that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is a constant at any instant for a snowboarder before he comes to rest.
mgh+= Constant
A is the correct answer !!!
This is the equation for elastic potential energy, where U is potential energy, x is the displacement of the end of the spring, and k is the spring constant.
