Suppose you throw a cube-shaped object and a spherical-shaped object of equal volume in the same volume of water. The ball sinks

and the cube floats. Which explains why this might be?
The objects probably have different surface areas.



The objects probably have different densities.



In general, cubes float better than spheres because they are flatter.

The objects have different densities
They objects may possess the same volume; however, due to a difference in density, they do not possess the same mass within that volume. This means that they experience a different gravitational force, which causes one to sink and the other to float.

A block of mass m=9.0 kg and speed V and is behind a block of mass M= 27 kg and speed of .50 m/s. The surface is frictionless, a
sammy [17]

Answer:

2.06 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal. Considering this case where we have frictionless surface, no momentum is lost in the process.

Momentum before collision

Momentum is given by p=mv where m and v represent mass. The initial sum of momentum will be 9v+(27*0.5)=9v+13.5

Momentum after collision

The momentum after collision will be given by (9+27)*0.9=32.4

Relating the two then 9v+13.5=32.4

9v=18.5

V=2.055555555555555555555555555555555555555 m/s

Rounded off, v is approximately 2.06 m/s

makkiz [27]

Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

suppose, you push a box with 5 N, and another person pushes the box on the opposite side of the box with 5 N, the net force (resultant ) is 0 N, the box will not move if it wasn't moving

hope this helps
