The rock will sink because the rock is denser than the water

Answer: It sinks

Explanation: Density of water is approximately $1.0 gcm^{-3}$

Any substance that has higher density than that of water will sink and any substance that has density lesser than water will float.

$Density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Thus a higher density substance has more mass for the amount of volume it displaces and hence it sinks.

When Noah drops a rock in water, the rock will sink as it has a higher value of density $(1.73gcm^{-3})$ than that of water $(1.0 gcm^{-3})$

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at a constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcyc

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.807 s

(b) 145.581 m

Explanation:

Let Δt = t2 - t1 be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. We know that before the acceleration, both vehicles are travelling at a constant speed. So they would maintain a distance of 58 m prior to the acceleration.

The distance traveled by car after Δt (seconds) at $v_c = 23m/s$ speed is

$s_c = \Delta t v_c = 23\Delta t$

The distance traveled by the motorcycle after Δt (seconds) at $m_m = 23 m/s$ speed and acceleration of a = 8 m/s2 is

$s_m = \Delta t v_m + a\Delta t^2/2$

$s_m = 23\Delta t + 8\Delta t^2/2 = 23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2$

We know that the motorcycle catches up to the car after Δt, so it must have covered the distance that the car travels, plus their initial distance:

$s_m = s_c + 58$

$23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2 = 23\Delta t + 58$

$4 \Delta t^2 = 58$

$\Delta t^2 = 14.5$

$\Delta t = \sqrt{14.5} = 3.807s$

(b)

$s_m = 23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2$

$s_m = 23*3.807 + 58 = 145.581 m$

In order to create a charged object, you need to ________.

Brums [2.3K]

In order to create a charged object you need to transfer electrons either away or to the object by induction, conduction, or friction

Induction is without contact(like bringing a charged object to a electroscope charges the leaves at the bottom)
Conduction is with contact(like the previous answer, wore touching transfers the charge from a source to the object)
Friction(rubbing a balloon on wool)
