Answer:

D. Frozen water is less dense than liquid water.

Explanation:

Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the year 1912. There were more than 2000 passengers on board from which about 1500 died.

Frozen water that is ice has less density than liquid water. The density of ice is 0.9167 g/cm^3 and the density of the water is 0.9998 g/cm^3.

Due to this very slight difference in density, ice floats on water. Titanic, on the night of April 14, 1912, crashed into an iceberg around midnight which caused opening of 5 of its watertight compartments. The water filled into the ship and it eventually sank in.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

Let v be the his horizontal speed when he releases the vine and t be the time it takes for him to fly across the swamp and land.

Assume g = 10 m/s^2

When he releases the vine, there's only gravity acting on him downward. There's also no vertical velocity at this point.

Therefore, for him to travel 5 m vertically:

s_v = \frac{gt^2}{2} = 5t^2 = 5 (m)\\t = 1 (s)

Horizontally we have

vt = s_h = 10\\v = \frac{10}{t} = 10 m/s

For Tarzan to achieve this horizontal speed, the centripetal acceleration and force exerting on the vine at the instant before he let go must be

a = \frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{10^2}{8} = 12.5 m/s^2

F = ma = 80 * 12.5 = 1000 (N)

Sharece knows that wave peaks and valleys can add and subtract. What would be the net effect if she was able to cross Wave 1 (a
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The two waves will add vectorially to produce a small amplitude wave in a valley phase.

Explanation:

The two waves will add vectorially to produce a small amplitude wave in a valley phase. This is because the amplitudes of the waves are slightly different and in opposite directions. When wave 1 cancels out all of wave 2, the resultant wave would be the slight difference between both waves, and it would be in the direction of wave 1 which is a valley phase.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

4. total energy

Explanation:

According to Bernoulli's principle at any two points along a streamline flow The total energy that is sum of pressure energy , Kinetic energy  and potential energy of the liquid all taken in per unit volume remains constant. Therefore,

for ideal fluid flows through a pipe of variable cross section without any friction. The fluid completely fills the pipe. At any given point in the pipe, the fluid has a constant Total Energy.

Two objects are raised off the ground and one of them is three times as high as the other one. How do their potential energy com
DochEvi [55]

The potential energy of any object depends on its mass as well as its height off the ground.

Potential energy = mass x gravity x height.

We don't have enough information to compare the potential energies of these two objects because we don't know their masses.
