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>

The lowest-pitch tone to resonate in a pipe of length L that is closed at one end and open at the other end is 200 Hz. Which one
ozzi

Answer:

e. 400 Hz

Explanation:

In closed organ pipe,  only odd harmonics of fundamental note is possible .

The fundamental frequency is 200 Hz . Then other overtones will be having following frequencies .

200 x 3 , 200 x 5 , 200 x 7 , 200 x 9 etc

600 Hz , 1000 Hz , 1400 Hz  , 1800 Hz .

Frequency not possible is 400 Hz .

10. What is the acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 500 N net force?
Simora [160]

Answer:

0.5m/s^2

Explanation:

We can use the formula [ F = ma ] but solve for "a" since that is what we are looking for.

F = ma

F/m = a

We know the net force and mass so substitute those values and simplify.

500/1000 = 0.5m/s^2

Best of Luck!

Ignoring air resistance and the little friction from the plastic tube, the magnet was a freely-falling object in each trial. If
horsena [70]

Answer:

emf will also be 10 times less as compared to when it has fallen 40 \mathrm{m}

Explanation:

We know, from faraday's law-

e m f=-N \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta T}

and \Phi=B . A

So, as the height increases the velocity with which it will cross the ring will also increase. (v=\sqrt{2 g h})

Given

\mathrm{V} 1(\text { Speed at } 40 \mathrm{m})=2 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{V} 2(\text { speed at } 10 \mathrm{m})

\sqrt{2 g h_{2}}=2 \times \sqrt{2 g h_{1}}=28.28 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Now, from 40 \mathrm{cm}

V_{3}=\sqrt{2 g h_{3}}=\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 0.4}=2.82 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

From equation a and b we see that velocity when dropped from 40 \mathrm{m} is 10 times greater when height is 40 \mathrm{cm} so, emf will also be 10 times less as compared to when it has fallen 40 \mathrm{m}

A force of constant magnitude pushes a box up a vertical surface, as shown in the figure.
Ray Of Light [21]

The work done on the box by the applied force is zero.

The work done by the force of gravity is 75.95 J

The work done on the box by the normal force is 75.95 J.

<h3>The given parameters:</h3>
  • Mass of the box, m = 3.1 kg
  • Distance moved by the box, d = 2.5 m
  • Coefficient of friction, = 0.35
  • Inclination of the force, θ = 30⁰

<h3>What is work - done?</h3>
  • Work is said to be done when the applied force moves an object to a certain distance

The work done on the box by the applied force is calculated as;

W = Fd cos(\theta)\\\\W = (ma)d \times cos(\theta)

where;

a is the acceleration of the box

The acceleration of the box is zero since the box moved at a constant speed.

W = (0) d \times cos(30)\\\\W = 0 \ J

The work done by the force of gravity is calculated as follows;

W = mg \times d\\\\W = 3.1 \times 9.8 \times 2.5 \\\\W = 75.95 \ J

The work done on the box by the normal force is calculated as follows;

W = (F_n) \times d\\\\W = (mg + F sin\theta) \times d\\\\W = (mg + 0) \times d\\\\W = mgd\\\\W = 3.1 \times 9.8 \times 2.5\\\\W = 75.95 \ J

When a wire moves through a magnetic field, an electric current is produced in the wire. Why does this phenomenon occur?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

<h2>It occurs whenever a magnetic field and an electric conductor move relative to one another so the conductor crosses lines of force in the magnetic field. </h2>

Explanation:

<h3>The current produced by electromagnetic induction is greater when the magnet or coil moves faster, the coil has more turns, or the magnet is stronger.</h3>
