<h2>Answer: D. Salinity level and temperature</h2>

Explanation:

The density D of the water is given by a relation between its mass m and its volume V:

D=\frac{m}{V}

Isolating the volume:

V=\frac{m}{D}

This means the <u>volume of the water will depend on its mass and its density</u>.

In this sense, the two factors that affect the volume of seawater are <u>salinity level and temperature. </u>

This is because the salinity (<u>amount of salt in water</u>) changes the its mass and its density, therefore its volume. The higher the salinity, the greater the volume.  

In the case of temperature, when it increases, the volume of water also increases and when the temperature decreases, the volume also decreases.

Equations to use: v= λ ∙ f v=d/t
Margarita [4]

b. 460.8 m/s

Explanation:

The relationship between the speed of the wave along the string, the length of the string and the frequency of the note is

f=\frac{v}{2L}

where v is the speed of the wave, L is the length of the string and f is the frequency. Re-arranging the equation and substituting the data of the problem (L=0.90 m and f=256 Hz), we can find v:

v=2Lf=2(0.90 m)(256 Hz)=460.8 m/s

c. 18,000 m

Explanation:

The relationship between speed of the wave, distance travelled and time taken is

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

v = 6,000 m/s is the speed of the wave

d = ? is the distance travelled

t = 3 s is the time taken

Re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers into it, we find:

d=vt=(6,000 m/s)(3 s)=18,000 m

A truck is hauling a 300-kg log out of a ditch using a winch attached to the back of the truck. Knowing the winch applies a cons
torisob [31]

Answer:

0.1 s

Explanation:

The net force on the log is F - f = ma where F = force due to winch = 2850 N, f = kinetic frictional force = μmg where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction between log and ground = 0.45, m = mass of log = 300 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and a = acceleration of log

So F - f = ma

F - μmg = ma

F/m - μg = a

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = F/m - μg

a = 2850 N/300 kg - 0.45 × 9.8 m/s²

a = 9.5 m/s² - 4.41 m/s²

a = 5.09 m/s²

Since acceleration, a = (v - u)/t where u = initial velocity of log = 0 m/s (since it was a rest before being pulled out of the ditch), v = final velocity of log = 0.5 m/s and t = time taken for the log to reach a speed of 0.5 m/s.

So, making t subject of the formula, we have

t = (v - u)/a

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

t = (v - u)/a

t = (0.5 m/s - 0 m/s)/5.09 m/s²

t = 0.5 m/s ÷ 5.09 m/s²

t = 0.098 s

t ≅ 0.1 s

A beam of light with a frequency range from 3.01 × 10 14 Hz to 6.10 × 10 14 Hz is incident on a metal surface. If the work funct
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons ejected from the surface is 5.22×10^-20 J.

Explanation:

let h = 6.626×10^-34 J×s be the planck constant.

let f be the frequency of light.

let Ф = 2.20×1.60×10^-19 = 3.52×10^-19 J be the work function.

then, the relationship  between the kinetic energy of photoelectrons K, the energy provided by the light E and the work function of the material is given by:

K = h×f - Ф

  = (6.626×10^-34)×(6.10×10^14) - 3.52×10^-19

  = 5.22×10^-20 J

Therefore, the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons ejected from the surface is 5.22×10^-20 J.

A bus is moving forward at 20 m/s. A student on the bus throws a tenis ball horizontally at
seraphim [82]

Answer:

D: 35 m/s

Explanation:

The bus is moving at a speed of 20 m/s.

Thus; v_bus = 20 m/s

Tennis ball thrown horizontally towards the front of the bus is given as 15 m/s.. Thus, v_ball = 15 m/s

No, due to the fact that the bus and the ball are moving at the same time, an observer will think the speed is the sum of that of the ball and the bus.

Thus, it will appear to an observer on the sidewalk that the speed is; v_bus + v_ball = 20 + 15 = 35 m/s
