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.

Una cuerda horizontal tiene una longitud de 5 m y masa de 0,00145 kg. Si sobre esta cuerda se da un pulso generando una longitud
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

A horizontal rope has a length of 5 m and a mass of 0.00145 kg. If a pulse occurs on this string, generating a wavelength of 0.6 m and a frequency of 120 Hz. The tension to which the string is subjected is

mass of string, m = 0.00145 kg

Frequency, f = 120 Hz

wavelength = 0.6 m

Speed = frequency x wavelength

speed = 120 x 0.6 = 72 m/s

Let the tension is T.

Use the formula

v =\sqrt\frac{T L}{m}\\\\72 = \sqrt\frac{T\times 5}{0.00145}\\\\T = 1.5 N

Option (A) is correct.

You stand on a frictional platform that is rotating at 1.8 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you hold a heavy weight in eac
dusya [7]

Answer:

20.62361 rad/s

489.81804 J

Explanation:

I_i = Initial moment of inertia = 9.3 kgm²

I_f = Final moment of inertia = 5.1 kgm²

\omega_i = Initial angular speed = 1.8 rev/s

\omega_f = Final angular speed

As the angular momentum of the system is conserved

I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{I_i\omega_i}{I_f}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{9.3\times 1.8}{5.1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=3.28235\ rev/s=3.28235\times 2\pi=20.62361\ rad/s

The resulting angular speed of the platform is 20.62361 rad/s

Change in kinetic energy is given by

\Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(I_f\omega_f^2-I_i\omega_i^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(5.1\times (20.62361)^2-9.3\times (1.8\times 2\pi)^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=489.81804\ J

The change in kinetic energy of the system is 489.81804 J

As the work was done to move the weight in there was an increase in kinetic energy

(a) Calculate the absolute pressure at the bottom of a freshwater lake at a point whose depth is 30.0 m. Assume the density of t
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

(a) The absolute pressure at the bottom of the freshwater lake is 395.3 kPa

(b) The force exerted by the water on the window is 36101.5 N

Explanation:

(a)

The absolute pressure is given by the formula

P = P_{o} + \rho gh

Where P is the absolute pressure

P_{o} is the atmospheric pressure

\rho is the density

g is the acceleration due to gravity (Take g = 9.8 m/s^{2} )

h is the height

From the question

h = 30.0 m

\rho = 1.00 × 10³ kg/m³ = 1000 kg/m³

P_{o} = 101.3 kPa = 101300 Pa

Using the formula

P = P_{o} + \rho gh

P = 101300 + (1000×9.8×30.0)

P = 101300 + 294000

P =395300 Pa

P = 395.3 kPa

Hence, the absolute pressure at the bottom of the freshwater lake is 395.3 kPa

(b)

For the force exerted

From

P = F/A

Where P is the pressure

F is the force

and A is the area

Then, F = P × A

Here, The area will be area of the window of the underwater vehicle.

Diameter of the circular window = 34.1 cm = 0.341 m

From Area = πD²/4

Then, A = π×(0.341)²/4 = 0.0913269 m²

Now,

From F = P × A

F = 395300 × 0.0913269

F = 36101.5 N

Hence, the force exerted by the water on the window is 36101.5 N

We decided to make an iced latte by adding ice to a 200 mL hot latte at 45 °C. The ice starts out at 0 C. How much ice do we nee
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

m = 77.75 g

Explanation:

Here we know that at equilibrium the temperature of the system will be 10 degree C

so heat given by hot latte = heat absorbed by the ice

now we have

heat given by latte = m s\Delta T

Q_1 = (200)(4.186)(45 - 10)

Q_1 = 29302 J

now heat absorbed by ice is given as

Q_2 = mL + ms\Delta T

Q_2 = m(335 + 4.186(10 - 0))

Q_2 = m(376.86)

now by heat balance we have

Q_1 = Q_2

29302 = m(376.86)

m = 77.75 g

A team of dogs accelerates a 290kg dogsled from 0 to 6.0m/s in 3.0 s. Assume that the acceleration is constant.Part AWhat is the
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

(a) a=2m/sec^2

(b) 5220 j

(c) 1740 watt

(d) 3446.66 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 290 kg

Initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Final velocity v = 6 m/sec

Time t = 3 sec

From first equation of motion

v = u+at

So a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{6-0}{3}=2m/sec^2

(a) We know that force is given by

F = ma

So force will be F=290\times 2=580N

(b) From second equation of motion we know that

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3^2=9m

We know that work done is given by

W = F s = 580×9 =5220 j

(c) Time is given as t = 3 sec

We know that power is given as

P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{3}=1740Watt

(d) Time t = 1.5 sec

So P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{1.5}=3466.66Watt
