A soundwave, to be precise, needs to travel through a medium, such as solid liquid or gas, but a wave made up of liquid.....i dont actually know

Yes. A wave can travel through solid, liquid, or gas.

A plastic bottle partially filled with water floats on water, even though the density of the plastic (1.2 g/cc) is more than tha

Semmy [17]

Answer:

True the plastic will float because of the principle of flotation or buoyancy

Explanation:

Buoyancy explains it all!!

Buoyancy is the upward force/upthrust experienced by a body immersed totally or partially in a liquid.

According to the principle of flotation:

"when a body is totally or partially immersed in liquid it experiences an upthrust which is equal to the volume of fluid displaced"

The plastic will float due to the fact the average density of the total volume of the plastic and the air inside it is less than the same volume of water it is floating in

A train travels 70 kilometers in 1 hours, and then 63 kilometers in 2 hours. What is its average speed?

lozanna [386]

The answer is: " 44 $\frac{1}{3}$ km " ;
or; write as: " 44.333 km " .
___________________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________________
(70 km + 63 km) ÷ (2 + 1 ) = 133 km ÷ 3 = " 44 $\frac{1}{3}$ km " ;
or; write as: " 44.333 km " .

Suppose you are standing on top of a hemisphere of radius r and you kick a soccer ball horizontally such that it has velocity v.

Ksivusya [100]

$|v| =\sqrt{ G \cdot M / r}$ , where

$M$ the mass of the planet, and
$G$ the universal gravitation constant.

Explanation:

Minimizing the initial velocity of the soccer ball would minimize the amount of mechanical energy it has. It shall maintain a minimal gravitational potential possible at all time. It should therefore stay to the ground as close as possible. An elliptical trajectory would thus be unfavorable; the ball shall maintain a uniform circular motion as it orbits the planet.

Equation 1 (see below) relates net force the object experiences, $\Sigma F$ to its orbit velocity $v$ and its mass $m$ required for it to stay in orbit :

$\Sigma F = m \cdot v^{2} / r$ (equation 1)

The soccer ball shall experiences a combination of gravitational pull and air resistance (if any) as it orbits the planet. Assuming negligible air resistance, the net force $\Sigma F$ acting on the soccer ball shall equal to its weight, $W = m \cdot g$ where $g$ the gravitational acceleration constant. Thus

$\Sigma F = W = m \cdot g$ (equation 2)

Substitute equation 2 to the left hand side of equation 1 and solve for $v$ ; note how the mass of the soccer ball, $m$ , cancels out:

$m \cdot g = \Sigma F = m \cdot v^{2} / r \\ v^{2} = g \cdot r \\ |v| = \sqrt{g \cdot r} \; (|v| \ge 0)$ (equation 3)

Equation 4 gives the value of gravitational acceleration, $g$ , a point of negligible mass experiences at a distance $r$ from a planet of mass $M$ (assuming no other stellar object were present)

$g = G \cdot M/ r^{2}$ (equation 4)

where the universal gravitation constant $G = 6.67408 \times 10^{-11} \cdot \text{m}^{3} \cdot \text{kg}^{-1} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$

Thus

$\begin{array}{lll}|v| &=& \sqrt{g \cdot r}\\ & =&\sqrt{ G \cdot M / r}\end{array}$
