3. Pedro threw a penny into a fountain and it sank to the bottom. Which of the following would explain

Physics

solong [7]3 years ago

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

A is not correct as there is much more water then penny meaning the water has more mass. The same can be said about C as the water also has more volume. Answer D is incorrect as the temperature of the penny is irrelevant to its ability to sink. That leaves us with option B, which is true as the penny is composed of metal allowing it to sink in the water due to having more density.

Answer:

its B because we're not talking about mass even tho most people would have chosen A cuz it says mass and u they would think its apart of density but if ur testing to see density ur figuring out which object will sink and which one will float so da reason why da penny snuck it cuz da density is greater den da water and copper has a better chance of sinking den floating so dats why its B I hope dis helps :3

A block of ice with mass 5.50 kg is initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A worker then applies a horizontal
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A) 3.13 m/s

B) 5.34 N

C) W = 26.9 J

Explanation:

We are told that the position as a function of time is given by;

x(t) = αt² + βt³

Where;

α = 0.210 m/s² and β = 2.04×10^(−2) m/s³ = 0.0204 m/s³

Thus;

x(t) = 0.21t² + 0.0204t³

A) Velocity is gotten from the derivative of the displacement.

Thus;

v(t) = x'(t) = 2(0.21t) + 3(0.0204t²)

v(t) = 0.42t + 0.0612t²

v(4.5) = 0.42(4.5) + 0.0612(4.5)²

v(4.5) = 3.1293 m/s ≈ 3.13 m/s

B) acceleration is gotten from the derivative of the velocity

a(t) = v'(t) = 0.42 + 2(0.0612t)

a(4.5) = 0.42 + 2(0.0612 × 4.5)

a(4.5) = 0.9708 m/s²

Force = ma = 5.5 × 0.9708

F = 5.3394 N ≈ 5.34 N

C) Since no friction, work done is kinetic energy.

Thus;

W = ½mv²

W = ½ × 5.5 × 3.1293²

W = 26.9 J

What is potential energy
valkas [14]

Answer:

Potential energy is energy that is stored – or conserved - in an object or substance. This stored energy is based on the position, arrangement or state of the object or substance. You can think of it as energy that has the 'potential' to do work.

A polarized light that has an intensity I0 = 60.0 W/m² is incident on three polarizing disks whose planes are parallel and cente
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The transmitted intensity through all polarizers is I_3 =41.31 W/m^2

Explanation:

 According to Malu's law the intensity of a polarized light having an initial intensity I_0 is mathematically represented as

               I = I_0cos^2 \theta

Now  considering the polarizer(The polarizing disk) the equation above becomes

          I = I_0 (cos^2 \theta)^n

Where n is the number of polarizers

       Substituting  60.0W/m^2 for the initial intensity 3 for the n and 20° for the angle of rotation

           I_3 = 60 (cos^220)^3

               =41.31 W/m^2

The sum of all forces acting on an object
Zina [86]

Answer:

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object. That is to say, the net force is the sum of all the forces, taking into account the fact that a force is a vector and two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction will cancel each other out.
