Answer:

C. The density of ice is less than the density of water.

Explanation:

As we know that when ice floats on the water then we can say that

Buoyancy force on ice will be counterbalanced by the weight of ice block

So here we have

F_b = mg

now we say that for flotation of ice cube the buoyant force must be greater than the force of gravity

\rho_w Vg > \rho_{ice} Vg

so here we can say

\rho_w > \rho_{ice}

so here density of ice will be less than the density of water

14.A 90 kg quarterback gets tackled by being hit by a 120 kg lineman backwards
quester [9]

The acceleration of the quarterback and the lineman is 5.55m/s² and 4.16m/s² respectively in the same direction.

As, we know, the 120 Kg lineman is moving with a force of 500N.

His net acceleration will be in the same direction as his motion.

It is already known that, If M is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration of the body, then the force F on the body can be calculated by using the formula,

F = Ma.

The weight of the quarterback is 90 Kg. He is being hit by a force of 500N.

So, the acceleration can be calculated using the formula,

500N = 90kg x a

a = 5.55 m/s².

Now, the weight if the lineman is 120kg, the force applied by him is 500N.

So, from the formula, his acceleration A will be,

500N = 120Kg x A

A = 4.16 m/s².

both of them will have acceleration in the same direction,

If you could shine a very powerful flashlight beam toward the Moon, estimate the diameter of the beam when it reaches the Moon.
grin007 [14]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.  By definition is defined as:

\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}

Where,

\lambda= Wavelength

d = Width of the slit

\theta= Angular resolution

Through the arc length we can find the radius, which would be given according to the length and angle previously described.

The radius of the beam on the moon is

r = l\theta

Relacing \theta

r = l(\frac{1.22\lambda}{d})

r = 1.22\frac{l\lambda}{d}

Replacing with our values we have that,

r = 1.22*(\frac{(384*10^3km)(\frac{1000m}{1km})(550*10^{-9}m)}{7*10^{{-2}}})

r = 3680.91m

Therefore the diameter of the beam on the moon is

d = 2r

d = 2 * (3690.91)

d = 7361.8285m

Hence, the diameter of the beam when it reaches the moon is 7361.82m

If you put 120 volts of electricity through a pickle, the pickle will smoke and start glowing orange-yellow. The light is emitte
Alona [7]

Answer:

2.11eV

Explanation:

We know that speed of light is it's wavelength times frequency.

\therefore f=v/\lambda\\=(3\times10^8m/s)/(589mm\times1m/1\times 10^9nm)\\=5.09\times10^1^4s^-1 \ or \ 5.09\times10^1^4Hz

Planck's constant is 6.626\times 10^3^4Js

The energy gap is calculated by multyplying the light's frequency by planck's constant:

E_c=5.09\times10^1^4s^-^1\times 6.626\times10^-^3^4Js\\\\=3.37\times 10^-^1^9J  \ \ \ \ \ \ #1eV=1.06\times 10^-^1^9J\\\\=2.11eV

Hence, the energy gap is 2.11eV
