Answer:

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 food packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. Assuming no drag (air fr

Leviafan [203]

1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s

The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration $a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ directed downward, initial vertical position $d=750 m$ , and initial vertical velocity $v_0 = 0$ . We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:

$v_f^2 -v_i^2 =2ad$

substituting, we find

$v_f^2 = 2ad\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(750 m)}=121.2 m/s$

2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m

We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of

$v_f=\frac{121.2 m/s}{2}=60.6 m/s$

In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting $v_f$ with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:

$v_f^2-v_i^2=2ad\\d=\frac{v_f^2}{2a}=\frac{(60.6 m/s)^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=187.4 m$

Which means that the heigth of the packet was

$h=750 m-187.4 m=562.6 m$

Does uniform acceleration means increasing acceleration?

tatiyna

Yes. It means that the acceleration increases at a constant rate, for example 3 mph every second.

What is the role of gravity when it comes to changing the velocity of objects?

Alex787 [66]

Gravity is the attraction of every body to every other body due to the masses of each body. The larger the mass, the greater the force. It also depends on the distances: the closer the bodies, the greater the force. Gravity is directed toward the center of a body, and the distance is measured from the center.

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.

Once the genes are copied, where do they go?

Anna [14]

By copying their genomes, they retain the tool kit and at the same time generate a garage full of spare parts. Gene duplication can provide the raw material for expression changes to occur, and polyploidy itself can trigger epigenetic changes

A space station in the shape of a 100 m-diameter (50m radius) wheel is spinning so as to impart a linear tangential speed of 22.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

artificial gravity a1 = 1 g

artificial gravity a2 = 2 g

diameter = 100 m

radius r= 50 m

speed v1 = 22.1 m/s

solution

As acceleration is ∝ v²

so we can say

$\frac{a2}{a1} = \frac{v2}{v1}$ .....................1

put here value

$\frac{2}{1} = \frac{v2}{22.1}$

solve it

v2 = $\sqrt{2 }$ × 22.1

v2 = 31.25 m/s

so correct option is b. 31.3 m/s
