Answer:
The percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean = 89.67%
Explanation:
Let V be the total volume of the iceberg
Let x be the volume of iceberg submerged
According to Archimedes principle,
weight of the iceberg = weight of the water displaced (that is, weight of x volume of water)
Weight of the iceberg = mg= ρ(iceberg) × V × g
Weight of water displaced = ρ(fluid) × x × g
We then have
ρ(iceberg) × V × g = ρ(fluid) × x × g
(x/V) = ρ(iceberg) ÷ ρ(fluid) = 916.3 ÷ 1021.9 = 0.8967 = 89.67%
Hope this Helps!!!!
The total work <em>W</em> done by the spring on the object as it pushes the object from 6 cm from equilibrium to 1.9 cm from equilibrium is
<em>W</em> = 1/2 (19.3 N/m) ((0.060 m)² - (0.019 m)²) ≈ 0.031 J
That is,
• the spring would perform 1/2 (19.3 N/m) (0.060 m)² ≈ 0.035 J by pushing the object from the 6 cm position to the equilibrium point
• the spring would perform 1/2 (19.3 N/m) (0.019 m)² ≈ 0.0035 J by pushing the object from the 1.9 cm position to equilbrium
so the work done in pushing the object from the 6 cm position to the 1.9 cm position is the difference between these.
By the work-energy theorem,
<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em> = <em>K</em>
where <em>K</em> is the kinetic energy of the object at the 1.9 cm position. Initial kinetic energy is zero because the object starts at rest. So
<em>W</em> = 1/2 <em>mv</em> ²
where <em>m</em> is the mass of the object and <em>v</em> is the speed you want to find. Solving for <em>v</em>, you get
<em>v</em> = √(2<em>W</em>/<em>m</em>) ≈ 0.46 m/s
Answer:
Light waves slow down as they travel from gas to solid.
Explanation:
The speed of light is often quoted with reference to a vacuum. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and in a gas.
When light travels through other media such as solids or liquids, the speed of light is decreased due to absorption and scattering of photons by molecules as well as remissions.
Hence the speed of light decreases from gas to solid.
