Some lakes, such as the Great Salt Lake, accumulate soluble minerals such as salt. In those lakes, people find it much easier to

float than when they are in fresh water. Why is this the case?

<span>The water with a lot of dissolved minerals and salts is much denser than fresh water. And with a higher density, that means that less water needs to be displaced in order to float. This difference in density can be the difference between barely floating on your back with your nose barely out of the water versus floating comfortably on your back with your entire face out of the water. For instance, fresh water at 25C has a density of 997 kg/m^3, whereas the water in the Great Salt Lake, depending upon the salinity ranges from 1035 kg/m^3 to 1200 kg/m^3. Or in simpler terms it can be about 4% to 20% denser than fresh water and you'll float 4% to 20% higher in the salt water.</span>

Runner A is initially 6.0 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 9.0 km/h due east. Runner B is initia
sergejj [24]

Answer:

0.176m from the flagpole, westward.

Explanation:

Let the Eastward be the positive direction. So initially runner A is at position -6km, running with velocity of 9km/h while runner B is at position 5km running at a velocity of -8km/h. We can conduct the following equation for their distances over the same time t

s_A = -6 + 9t

s_B = 5 - 8t

When A an B meets, they are at the same position and at the same time. So

s_A = s_B

-6 +9t = 5 - 8t

17t = 5 + 6 = 11

t = 11/17 = 0.647 s

s_A = -6 + 9*0.647 = -0.176 m

So where they meet is 0.176m from the flagpole, westward.

Suppose the conducting wire (with resistance R) was replace with one of the same material but has its dimension doubled (the len
sveticcg [70]
Resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to the square of its radius.
Thus, if the length is doubled, and the radius is halved:
R₂ = 2R₁/(1/2)²
R₂ = 8R₁
Therefore the resistance increases eight times.

Three points A, B, and C of unknown charges are at the corners of an equilateral triangle.
nasty-shy [4]
Answer: option d. 

Q_A= \frac{1}{2} Q_B=- \frac{1}{3} Q_C

Explanation:


1) The direction of the field lines inform about the sign of the charges.

The field lines <span>extend from the positive charges to the negative charges, so you can conclude that the charge C is positve and both charge A and charge B are negative:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Charge C: positive
</span><span>
</span><span>Charge A: negative
</span><span>
</span><span>Charge B: netative
</span>

2) The density of the lines (number of lines in a region) inform about the magnitude of the electric field.

Since the charges are at the same distance, the magnitude of the electric field informs directly about the magnitude of the force and that about the magnitude of the charges.

Since, there are the double of lines between C and B than between C and A, the magnitude of charge B is the double than the magnitud of charge A.

From the five options given (a throug e) the only that is consistent with that charges A and B have the same sign, that charge C has different sign, and that charge B is the double of charge A is:

Q_A= \frac{1}{2} Q_B=- \frac{1}{3} Q_C
