The rock will sink because the rock is denser than the water
aalyn [17]3 years ago
3 0

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})

Consider three planets. All have the same mass as Earth, but with different radii (from largest to smallest: Planet 1, 2, 3). Fo
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

mass of the three planet is same

radius of the planets are

R₁ > R₂ > R₃

expression of escape velocity

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

from the above expression we can clearly conclude that the escape velocity is inversely proportional to the radius of the Planet.

radius of planet increases escape velocity decreases.

Hence planet 3 has the smallest radius so the escape velocity of the third planet will be maximum.

The correct answer is option C

What three factors control the path of a surface current
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Surface currents are controlled by three factors: global winds, the Coriolis effect, and continental deflections. surface create surface currents in the ocean. Different winds cause currents to flow in different directions. objects from a straight path due to the Earth's rotation.

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength.
Ahat [919]
The relationship of the speed of sound, its frequency, and wavelength is the same as for all waves: vw = fλ, where vw is the speed of sound, f is its frequency, and λ is its wavelength. ... The frequency is the same as that of the source and is the number of waves that pass a point per unit time.

Terry can ride 30 miles in 2 hours. If his riding speed is
Anni [7]

Answer:  20.4 miles

Explanation:

Here we need to use the equation:

Velocity = Distance/Time.

Initially we have that he can travel 30 miles in 2 hours, so the velocity is:

V = 30mi/2h = 15mph

Now, we reduce the velocity by 3 mph, so the new velocity is 15mph - 3 mph = 12mph.

Now we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7 hours with this velocity, this is.

Velocity*Time = Distance

12mi/h*1.7h = 20.4 miles

Biologists use ball-and-stick models to study complex molecules by representing atoms with balls and bonds with sticks. DNA is a
AleksAgata [21]
One of the major limitations of using the ball and stick model for DNA, is that within a single double stranded segment of DNA, one would have to use many many balls to represent atoms that are present in the sugar phosphate backbone, along with all of the main atoms that compose the nitrogenous bases of DNA, we also cannot construct or show the helical form of DNA, by using balls and sticks as well.
