Calvert likes to paddle around in his canoe. One day it sprung a leak and started to fill with water. Luckily, Calvert was able

to swim to shore, but the boat sank. Why did the boat sink?

When the canoe leaked, the boat sank because it has a leak. The boat must have a strong base at its bottom to enable itself to float. If this is damaged, the water can now enter due to the hole thereby increasing the velocity of water coming in.

Explanation :

It is given that, Calvert likes to paddle around in his canoe. One day it sprung a leak and started to fill with water. Luckily, Calvert was able to swim to shore, but the boat sank.

An object will float or sink depends on the density of an object. There can be two cases as:

  1. When the density of an object is less than water, it will float. This is because the buoyant force acting on it is more than the gravitational force.
  2. When the density of an object is more than water, it will sink. This is because the gravitational force acting on it is more than the buoyant force.

That's why the boat sink.

The true statements about magnetic fields and forces will be A,D and E.

<h3>What is a magnet?</h3>

An iron piece,alloy, or other substance with its constituent atoms arranged in such a way that it shows magnetism qualities,

The function of the magnet is attracting other iron-containing objects or aligning itself in a magnetic field.

There are two poles of the magnet;

1. North Pole.

2. South Pole.

The same poles repel each other, while the opposite poles attract each other. In a sense, south-south and north-north repel. While the north-south and the south-north attract each other.

The correct statements are;

(A). The north pole attracts the south pole of a magnet.

(D)Forces caused by magnetic fields are weaker farther from the magnet.

(E)Magnetic forces can act on an object even if the object isn't touching the magnet.

Hence, the true statements about magnetic fields and forces will be A,D and E.

Given that water at standard pressure freezes at 0∘C, which corresponds to 32∘F, and that it boils at 100∘C, which corresponds t
barxatty [35]

Answer:

In two significant figure 360K

Explanation:

The temperature difference (ΔT) can be calculated as the boiling temperature minus the freezing temperature in Fahrenheit.

Hence,

ΔT = 212 - 32

ΔT = 180°F

To convert to °F to kelvin, we use the formula below

= (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= (180°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= 355.37K ⇔ 360K

A cyclical heat engine, operating between temperatures of 450º C and 150º C produces 4.00 MJ of work on a heat transfer of 5.00
gogolik [260]

Answer:

(a) Heat transfer to the environment is: 1 MJ and (b) The efficiency of the engine is: 41.5%

Explanation:

Using the formula that relate heat and work from the thermodynamic theory as:W=Q=Q_{in}-Q_{out} solving to Q_out we get:Q_{out}=Q_{in}-W=5(MJ)-4(MJ)=1(MJ) this is the heat out of the cycle or engine, so it will be heat transfer to the environment. The thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle gives us: n=1-\frac{T_{Low} }{T_{High}} where T_Low is the lowest cycle temperature and T_High the highest, we need to remember that a Carnot cycle depends only on the absolute temperatures, if you remember the convertion of K=°C+273.15 so T_Low=150+273.15=423.15 K and T_High=450+273.15=723.15K and replacing the values in the equation we get:n=1-\frac{423.15}{723.15} =0.415=41.5%
