The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
So since the boat has a lower density than the water, it will float.
So the answer is choice B
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration
</u>
It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly over time.
The equation that describes the change of velocities is:
Where:
a = acceleration
vo = initial speed
vf = final speed
t = time
Solving the equation for a:
The ball starts at rest (vo=0) and rolls down an inclined plane that makes it reach a speed of vf=7.5 m/s in t=3 seconds.
The acceleration is:
For purposes of completing our calculations, we're going to assume that
the experiment takes place on or near the surface of the Earth.
The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s², directed toward the
center of the planet. That means that the downward speed of a falling object
increases by 9.8 m/s for every second that it falls.
3 seconds after being dropped, a stone is falling at (3 x 9.8) = 29.4 m/s.
That's the vertical component of its velocity. The horizontal component is
the same as it was at the instant of the drop, provided there is no horizontal
force on the stone during its fall.
C., used in power plants I think.
