It is a gas. Gases can easily change volume and always fill the whole container.

K so I'm not completely sure about this...

but I believe the answer would be C. It will float upward

because the buoyancy, in the image, is stronger than the Gravitational pull.

Let me know if that is right or wrong plz

Hope it's right and helps tho!

A radar used to detect the presence of aircraft receives a pulse that has reflected off an object 5 ✕ 10−5 s after it was transm

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

7500 m

Explanation:

The radar emits an electromagnetic wave that travels towards the object and then it is reflected back to the radar.

We can call L the distance between the radar and the object; this means that the electromagnetic wave travels twice this distance, so

d = 2L

In a time of

$t=5\cdot 10^{-5}s$

Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the speed of light, which is equal to

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Since the electromagnetic wave travels with constant speed, we can use the equation for uniform motion ,so:

$d=vt$ (1)

where

$v=c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

$t=5\cdot 10^{-5}s$

$d=2L$ , where L is the distance between the radar and the object

Re-arranging eq(1) and substituting, we find L:

$L=\frac{vt}{2}=\frac{(3.0\cdot 10^8)(5\cdot 10^{-5})}{2}=7500 m$

Suppose the moon were held in its orbit not by gravity but by the tension in a massless cable. You are given that the period of

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Tension in the cable = 200.655 × 10^(18) N

Explanation:

The tension in the cable will be the force on the string which is caused by when it holds against the centripetal acceleration.

Now, the formula for centripetal acceleration is given by;

a = v²/R

Now, let's find the velocity.

The circumference is 2πR

We are given that R = 3.85 x 10^(8) m

So, Circumference = 2 × π × 3.85 x 10^(8) = 24.19 × 10^(8) m

We are told the period of the moon orbit is 27.3 days

Distance travelled per day = Circumference/ period

Distance travelled per day = (24.19 × 10^(8))/27.3 = 88608058.608 m/day

Now, a day has 24 hours = 24 × 60 × 60 = 86400 seconds

Thus,

Distance travelled per seconds =

88608058.608/86400 = 1025.556 m/sec

So, from a_c = v²/r,

a_c = 1025.556²/3.85x10^8

a_c = 0.00273 m/s²

Now, Force = Mass x Acceleration = ma

We are given mass = 7.35 x 10^(22) kg

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

F = 0.00273 x 7.35 x 10^(22)

F = 200.655 × 10^(18) N

A power station burns 75 kilograms of coal per second. Each kg of coal contains 27 million joules of energy.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

one kg of coal gives energy of 27 x 10⁶ J

75 kg of coal gives energy of 27 x 10⁶ x 75 J

So rate which energy is coming out of coal per second

= 27 x 10⁶ x 75 J

= 2025 x 10⁶ J /s

2025 million watts .

b ) energy output = 800 million watts

efficiency = (800 / 2025) x 100

= 39.5 % .
