The fresh water in the river is slightly less dense than the ocean's brine. So in order to displace its weight of water, the ship must displace more of it. That means it sinks slightly lower in fresh water before the displaced water totals up to the ship's weight.

What is the predicted result when two different materials of equal mass absorb the same amount of energy by heat flow?

Ludmilka [50]

The correct is D.

Explanation: The specific heat is defined as heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by one degree. Greater the specific heat, more is the heat required to raise the temperature for equal mass. So, the temperature of the material with lowest specific heat will increase the most for the same amount of heat energy.

Explain how atomic interactions determine a material to be transparent and opaque?

motikmotik

Answer:

Explanation below.

Explanation:

It should be understood that transparency is caused through or by the transmission of light waves. This means that, If or when the energy known as the vibrational energy of a light wave is passed through the object, then the object appears clear, or transparent. And when or If the energy only causes vibrations in the surface before reflecting off the object, then the object will appear opaque, that is nontransparent.

Which of the following statements are true?

inessss [21]

Answer:

a. If an object's speed is constant, then its acceleration must be zero.

FALSE

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{d\vec v}{dt}$

so we can not say anything about the acceleration when speed is given to as and no information is given about velocity

b. If an object's acceleration is zero, then its speed must be constant.

TRUE

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{d\vec v}{dt}$

Since we know that if acceleration is 0 then velocity must be constant and hence speed is also constant

c. If an object's velocity is constant, then its speed must be constant.

TRUE

Since velocity is constant then it shows that its magnitude and direction both are constant so its speed is also constant.

d. If an object's acceleration is zero, its velocity must be constant.

TRUE

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{d\vec v}{dt}$

Since we know that if acceleration is 0 then velocity must be constant

e. If an object's speed is constant, then its velocity must be constant.

FALSE

Speed is just the magnitude so we can not say about its direction and hence if speed is constant then velocity may or may not change

Please Awnser soon water's state of matters include stream, liquid water, and ice. what about water is the same in these states?

yulyashka [42]

Well the similarity is that even though they are in a different state of matter they still come from the same substance: h2o
