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 $(1.0 gcm^{-3})$

Two in-phase loudspeakers that emit sound with the same frequency are placed along a wall and are separated by a distance of 5.0

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$f = 421.8 Hz$

Explanation:

When she moved a distance of 1 m from mid point she observe first destructive interference due to two speakers

so we can say that path difference of sound due to two speakers will be equal to half of the wavelength

so path difference is given as

$\Delta L = {3.5^2 + 12^2}^{0.5} - {1.5^2 + 12^2}^{0.5}$

so it will be

$\Delta L = 12.5 - 12.093$

$\Delta L = 0.4066$

now we know that

$\frac{\lambda}{2} = 0.4066$

$\lambda = 0.813$

now frequency of sound is given as

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{343}{0.813}$

$f = 421.8 Hz$

Manuel is holding a 5 kg box. How much force us the box exerting on him? in what direction

Free_Kalibri [48]

It will be 49 Newtons of force in the down direction. To find the force in newtons, you multiply the mass (5 kg) by the gravity (which if 9.8).
