Why is it incorrect to say heavy objects sink in water?

It is incorrect to say heavy objects sink in water because based on the density of the water it can actually cause the "heavy object" to float, out weighing it.

11. Scientists put a sample of water into a sealed tank. Water can be a solid, liquid, or gas. At first, the water was a liquid.
leva [86]

Answer:

c . slower and started moving in place.

Explanation:

Matter can exist generally in three phases, as a solid, liquid or gas. But it can be transformed from one phase to another by the removal or application of heat energy.

The water was initially in a liquid form in the sealed tank until energy was transferred out of the substance. Thus, this causes a change of state in which the water turns to a solid. Whereby during the process, the molecules of the water moved slowly until they are fixed at a point, and vibrates individually at their individual point.

Therefore the molecules of water moved slower and stated moving in place (i.e vibrating at a point). The water turns to an ice.

How to change V=72km/hr to m/s
lapo4ka [179]
Multiply by (1000 meters / 1 km).
Then multiply by (1 hour / 3600 seconds).

Both of those fractions are equal to ' 1 ', because the top
and bottom numbers are equal, so the multiplications
won't change the VALUE of the 72 km/hr.  They'll only
change the units.

(72 km/hour) · (1000 meters / 1 km) · (1 hour / 3600 seconds)

= (72 · 1000 / 3600) (km·meter·hour / hour·km·second)

=  20 meter/second

Calculate the minimum thickness (in nm) of an oil slick on water that appears blue when illuminated by white light perpendicular
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength in a particular medium and refractive index \lambda_n = \frac{ \lambda }{n}

where ;

\lambda = wavelength of the light in vacuum

n = refractive index of medium with respect to vacuum

For one phase change :

2t = \frac{\lambda_n}{2}\\\\where \ \lambda_n = \frac{\lambda}{n}\\\\Then \ \\\\2t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda_n}{4n}

Replacing 1.43 for n and 480 nm for λ; we have:

t = \frac{480}{4(1.43)}

t = 83.92 nm

Thus; the minimum thickness = 83.92 nm
