Why does a paper clip sink and a big ocean liner float? explain your answer.

Physics
1 answer:
slamgirl [31]4 years ago
4 0

<span>Because of the density of the paperclip it sinks, but even though a boat is normally made of steal it contains an opposite force of gravity known as buoyancy. Buoyancy is the reason that a boat will float.  Boat density is less weight than the water they are in so this is one reason that they are floaters.</span>

On a calm day with no wind, you can run a 1500-m race at a velocity of 4.0 m/s. If you run the same race on a day when you have
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The time taken to finish the race is 750 s.

Explanation:

The velocity of the person on the day of wind is slowed down by 2.0 m/s. So the person's velocity on the day of wind is 4-2=2 m/s.

The relation between time, speed and distance is t=v/d

Given d=1500 m and calculated v= 2 m/s.

t=1500/2

t=750 s.

A ball is launched with an initial horizontal velocity of 10.0 meters per second. It takes 500 milliseconds for the ball to reac
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

500ms times 2 would be when the ball reaches the max horizontal distance.

Then to find the angle, use the formula of time to reach max height t = u sin theta / g . With t being the max height time 500ms, u being 10m/s

For initial vertical velocity just use u sin theta.

the natural radioactivity is done by(controlling the nuclear energy-no ability to control the nuclear energy-both of them)​
just olya [345]

Answer:

Nuclear power plants are fueled by uranium, which emits radioactive substances. Most of these substances are trapped in uranium fuel pellets or in sealed metal fuel rods. However, small amounts of these radioactive substances (mostly gases) become mixed with the water that is used to cool the reactor.
