Why do some iron objects such as ships float when placed in water while other iron objects such as nails sink? 1. iron ships hav

e large air pockets inside them, making them less dense than water and thus able to float. 2. the same reason that makes planes fly in the sky?

Iron ships have large air pockets inside them making them less dense than water and thus able to float. Iron objects does not have any air pockets to make them light . If you ever heard that ships sink its because  the ship must  have  a hole in the air pocket and (air pockets are at the bottom layer of ships) water fills through the air pocket and adds weight making it sink.


Hope this helps :)

What is the linear speed of a point on the equator, due to the earth's rotation?
kvv77 [185]
The equatorial radius of the earth is
r = 6378 km = 6378 x 10³ m

The earth makes 1 revolution in 24 hours.
The angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(24*3600 s) = 7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

The tangential velocity (linear velocity) at a point on the equator is
v = rω
   = (6378 x 10³ m)*(7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s)
   = 463.8 m/s

Answer: 463.8 m/s

PLZ HELP!! List properties of ions.
Andreas93 [3]
Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points, and are hard and brittle. when melted or dissolved they become highly conductive, because the ions are mobilized.

the 200 g baseball has a horizontal velocity of 30 m/s when it is struck by the bat, B, weighing 900 g, moving at 47 m/s. during
Ivanshal [37]

Solution :

Given :

Mass of the baseball, m = 200 g

Velocity of the baseball, u = -30 m/s

Mass of the baseball after struck by the bat, M = 900 g

Velocity of the baseball after struck by the bat, v = 47 m/s

According to the conservation of momentum,

Mv+mu=Mv_1+mv_2

(900 x 47) + (200 x -30)  = (900 x v_1) + (200 x v_2)

36300 =  (900 x v_1) + (200 x v_2)

9v_1 + 2v_2 = 363 ..............(i)

9v_1 = 363 - 2v_2

v_1=\frac{363 - 2v_2}{9}

The mathematical expression for the conservation of kinetic energy is

\frac{1}{2}Mv^2+\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}Mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2

\frac{1}{2}(900)(47)^2+\frac{1}{2}(200)(-30)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(900)v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}(200)v_2^2    ................(ii)

$(9)(14)^2+(2)(-30)^2 = (9)v_1^2+2v_2^2$  

21681 = 9v_1^2+2v_2^2

Substituting (i) in (ii)

21681= 9\left( \frac{363-2v_2}{9}\right)^2+2v_2^2

(363-2v_2)^2+18v_2^2=195129

(363)^2+18v_2^2-2(363)(2v_2)+(363)^2-195129=0

22v_2^2-145v_2-63360=0

Solving the equation, we get

v_2=96 \ m/s, -30 \ m/s

The negative velocity is neglected.

Therefore, substituting 96 m/s for v_2 in (i), we get

v_1=\frac{363-(2 \times 96)}{9}

     = 19

Thus, only impulse of importance is used to find final velocity.
