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%

Why do you think the outer planets have such extensive systems of rings and moons, while the inner planets do not?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Because of immense gravity

Explanation:

The formation of the Solar system was a very dynamic process. A lot of matter was thrown towards the outer solar system which further formed the Gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The size of these outer planets is huge so is their gravity.

Because of their huge gravity a lot of matter which was scattered in the outer solar system got attracted towards them. This matter is what make the rings of the outer planets. Also, because of immense gravity they captured larger bodies thus making them their Moons.

A car moving at 60 mph slams on its brakes to stop before hitting a deer. Another identical car traveling at 60 mph slows to a s
ankoles [38]

Happy Holidays!

Recall that:

Impulse = Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

Since both cars are identical and have the same initial velocity of 60 mph, them breaking to a stop means that they both experience the same change in velocity.

Thus, both of the cars' impulses are equal.
