It’s because warm air is less dense

Because Any object or substance that is less dense than a fluid will float in that fluid, so hot water rises (floats) in colder water. When fluids are cooled, they contract and therefore become more dense. Any object or substance that is more dense than a fluid will sink in that fluid, so cold water sinks in warmer water

Answer:

-time it takes for the sled to come to a stop after launch of rocket = 7.244 s

-distance sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest is = 234.8655 m

Explanation:

From the question, looking at the motion while accelerating, we have;

Initial velocity; u = 0 m/s

Acceleration; a = 13.5 m/s²

Time; t = 3.3 s

Let's use first equation of motion to find final velocity (v).

v = u + at

v = 0 + (13.5 × 3.3)

v = 44.55 m/s

In this forward direction, let's calculate the displacement(d1) using newton's 3rd equation of motion.

d1 = ut + ½at²

d1 = 0(3.3) + ½(13.5 × 3.3²)

d1 = 73.5075 m

Now, let's consider the motion while slowing down and our final velocity will be 0 m/s while initial velocity will now be 44.55 m/s while acceleration is 6.15 m/s².

Thus, from v = u + at, we can find the time it take for the sled to come to a stop.

Now, since it's coming to rest acceleration will be negative. Thus;

0 = 44.55 + (-6.15t)

0 = 44.55 - 6.15t

t = 44.55/6.15

t = 7.244 s

Now we want to find out how far the sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest.

Thus, we'll use the equation;

v² = u² + 2as

Where s will be the second displacement which we will call d2.

Thus;

0² = 44.55² + (-2 × 6.15 × s)

0 = 1984.7025 - 12.3s

12.3s = 1984.7025

s = 1984.7025/12.3

s = 161.358

Thus, d2 = s = 161.358 m

Thus, distance sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest is ;

= d1 + d2 = 73.5075 + 161.358 = 234.8655 m

a 74.9 kg person sits at rest on an icy pond holding a physics book. he throws the physics book west at 8.25 m/s and he recoils
kifflom [539]

Answer:

1.95 kg

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

0 = (74.9) (-0.215) + m (8.25)

m = 1.95

What is the weight of a dog with a mass of 12 kg? Explain how you obtained your answer.
butalik [34]

Answer: 117.60N

Explanation:

Weight is a force. Therefore, we can use the force formula to find weight.

Formula: W=m*g

W = weight

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

W=(12kg)(9.8m/s^2)\\W=117.60N

How much energy is needed to melt 5 g of ice? The specific latent heat of melting for water is 334000 J/kg.
Katen [24]

Answer:

The needed energy to melt of ice is 1670 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ice = 5 g

Specific latent heat = 334000 J/kg

We need to calculate the energy

Using formula of energy

Q=mL

Where, m = mass

L = latent heat

Put the value into the formula

Q=5\times10^{-3}\times334000

Q=1670\ J

Hence, The needed energy to melt of ice is 1670 J.

Harman [31]

Answer:

vf = 11.2 m/s

Explanation:

m = 10 Kg

F = 2*10² N

x = 4.00 m

μ = 0.44

vi = 0 m/s

vf = ?

We can apply Newton's 2nd Law

∑ Fx = m*a   (→)

F - Ffriction = m*a  ⇒  F - (μ*N) = F - (μ*m*g) = m*a   ⇒  a = (F - μ*m*g)/m

⇒    a = (2*10² N - 0.44*10 Kg*9.81 m/s²)/10 Kg = 15.6836 m/s²

then , we use the equation

vf² = vi² + 2*a*x    ⇒    vf = √(vi² + 2*a*x)

⇒   vf = √((0)² + 2*(15.6836 m/s²)*(4.00m)) = 11.2 m/s
