A fish maintains its depth in fresh water by adjusting the air content of porous bone or air sacs to make its average density th

e same as that of the water. Suppose that with its air sacs collapsed, a fish has a density of 1.05 g/cm3. To what fraction of its expanded body volume must the fish inflate the air sacs to reduce its density to that of water?

Answer:

V’/V= 1.05  

Explanation:

The density is defined with the ratio of the mass to the volume, for the fish with the collapsed sack

         ρ₁ = m / V

The density of the fish with the bag full of air is

         ρ₂ = m / V’

For the fish to float if it exerts its density must be exactly equal to that of the surrounding water

We clear the mass  and match

          m = ρ1 V = ρ2 V'        

          ρ₁ V = ρ₂ V’

         V ’/ V = ​​ρ₁ / ρ₂

         V ’/ V = ​​1.05 / 1

        V ’= 1.05 V

This is that the fish should increase its volume by 5%

At what height h above the ground does the projectile have a speed of 0.5v?
maw [93]

Answer:

h=\dfrac{3v^2}{8g}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the projectile is 0.5 v. Let h is the height above the ground. Using the first equation of motion to find it.

v=u+at

v=u-gt

Initial speed of the projectile is v and final speed is 0.5 v.

0.5v=v-gt

t=\dfrac{v}{2g}

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Let h is the height above the ground. Using the second equation of motion as :

h=vt-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

h=v\dfrac{v}{2g}-\dfrac{1}{2}g(\dfrac{v}{2g})^2

h=\dfrac{3v^2}{8g}

So, the height of the projectile above the ground is \dfrac{3v^2}{8g}. Hence, this is the required solution.

How does the molecular structure of a water molecule affect its polarity?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The polarity of water molecules means that molecules of water will stick to each other like when unlike charges attracts. This is called hydrogen bonding.

Polarity makes water a good solvent, gives it the ability to stick to itself (cohesion), stick to other substances (adhesion), and have surface tension (due to hydrogen bonding).

When the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they attach to the top of the molecule. This molecular structure gives the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electrical charge that attracts other atoms. The end of the molecule with the two hydrogen atoms is positively charged.
