Which of the following properties of water help to explain why icebergs float in the ocean?

Physics

The reason why icebergs float in the ocean has to do with temperature. Icebergs are colder than the ocean water and therefore the cold water is less dense than the warm water and this causes the Iceberg to float.

Bess [88]

Answer:

An estimate for the time it will take for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars is approximately 138.8 days

Explanation:

The distance between Earth and the Moon = 684,400 km

The distance between Earth and Mars = 220.58 × 10⁶ km

The distance between Earth and Pluto = 5.2241 × 10⁹ km

The ratio of the distance between Earth and Pluto and the distance between Earth and Mars = (5.2241 × 10⁹ km)/(220.58 × 10⁶ km) ≈ 23.683

It took 2006 to 2015 (9 years) to travel from Earth to Pluto, therefore, it can take approximately (9 years)/(23.683) ≈ 0.38 of a year which is ((9 years)/(23.683)) × 365.2422 ≈ 138.8 days for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars

the specific heat of water is 4.2 j/c. if it takes 31,500 joules to heat to warm 750 g of water, what was the temperature change
defon
The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is given by
Q=mC_s \Delta T
where
m is the mass of the substance
C_s the specific heat capacity
\Delta T the increase in temperature

In our problem, the mass of the water is m=750 g, the specific heat is C_s = 4.2 J/g ^{\circ}C and the amount of heat supplied is Q=31500 J, so if we re-arrange the previous formula we find the increase in temperature of the water:
\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}= \frac{31500 J}{(750 g)(4.20 J/g^{\circ} C)}=10^{\circ}C

Particle 1 and particle 2 have masses of m1 = 2.2 × 10-8 kg and m2 = 4.8 × 10-8 kg, but they carry the same charge q. The two pa
Lorico [155]

Answer:r_2=11.81 cm

Explanation:

Given

m_1=2.2\times 10^{-8} kg

m_2=4.8\times 10^{-8} kg

same charge on both masses

potential Energy due to Magnetic Field =Kinetic Energy of Particle

qV=\frac{mv^2}{2}

v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}

and we know

Force due to magnetic field will Provide centripetal Force

qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}

B=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2Vm}{q}}}{r}

and B is equal for both particles

thus \frac{m}{r^2}=constant

\frac{m_1}{r_1^2}=\frac{m_2}{r_2^2}

r_2^2=\frac{4.8}{2.2}\times 8^2

r_2=11.81 cm
