How do you think the amount of a material affects its tendency to sink or float?

Answer:

Things float when they are positively buoyant, or less dense than the fluid in which they are sitting. This does not mean that an object has to be lighter than the fluid, as in the case of a boat; objects just need to have a greater ratio of empty space to mass than the fluid.

A passenger train left station A at 6:00 p.m. Moving with the average speed 45 mph, it arrived at station B at 10:00 p.m. A tran

marishachu [46]

<h2>Average speed of transit train is 60 mph</h2>

Explanation:

Average speed of passenger train = 45 mph

Time taken from station A to station B for passenger train = 10:00 - 6:00 = 4 hours

Distance between station A to station B = 45 x 4 = 180 miles.

Time taken from station A to station B for transit train = 4 - 1 = 3 hours

Distance between station A to station B = Average speed of transit train x Time taken from station A to station B for transit train

180 = Average speed of transit train x 3

Average speed of transit train = 60 mph

Average speed of transit train is 60 mph

3, A 4kg block is pushed 2m at an acceleration of 0.2m/s square up a vertical wall by a constant force F applied at an angle of

Andrews [41]

The work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

The work done by the applied force is calculated as follows;

W = Fd

F - Ff = ma

where;

F is applied force
Ff is frictional force

Fcos(37) - μmgsin(37) = ma

Fcos(37) - (0.3)(4)(9.8)sin(37) = 4(0.2)

0.799F - 7.077 = 0.8

F = 9.86 N

W = Fdcosθ

W = 9.86 x 2 x cos(37)

W = 15.75 J

Thus, the work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

To practice problem-solving strategy 22.1: gauss's law. an infinite cylindrical rod has a uniform volume charge density ρ (where

BabaBlast [244]

Let say the point is inside the cylinder

then as per Gauss' law we have

$\int E.dA = \frac{q}{\epcilon_0}$

here q = charge inside the gaussian surface.

Now if our point is inside the cylinder then we can say that gaussian surface has charge less than total charge.

we will calculate the charge first which is given as

$q = \int \rho dV$

$q = \rho * \pi r^2 *L$

now using the equation of Gauss law we will have

$\int E.dA = \frac{\rho * \pi r^2* L}{\epcilon_0}$

$E. 2\pi r L = \frac{\rho * \pi r^2* L}{\epcilon_0}$

now we will have

$E = \frac{\rho r}{2 \epcilon_0}$

Now if we have a situation that the point lies outside the cylinder

we will calculate the charge first which is given as it is now the total charge of the cylinder

$q = \int \rho dV$

$q = \rho * \pi r_0^2 *L$

now using the equation of Gauss law we will have

$\int E.dA = \frac{\rho * \pi r_0^2* L}{\epcilon_0}$

$E. 2\pi r L = \frac{\rho * \pi r_0^2* L}{\epcilon_0}$

now we will have

$E = \frac{\rho r_0^2}{2 \epcilon_0 r}$

Why is it difficult to measure the volume of gas

MrRissso [65]

It's difficult to measure that because it's hard to make sure it is only a uniform layer of gas in whatever you're measuring it in

A grasshopper jumps at a 65.0 degree angle at 5.42m/s. At what time does it reach its maximum height?

crimeas [40]

When the grasshoppers vertical velocity is exactly zero.
v = -g•t + v0.
v: vertical part of velocity. Is zero at maximum height.
g: 9.81
t: time you are looking for
v0: initial vertical velocity
Find the vertical part of the initial velocity, by using the angle at which the grasshopper jumps.
