Kinetic Energy (Ek) =
m \times {v}^{2} \div 2

Torricelli's Equation
g earth = 10m/s^2

{v}^{2} = {vo}^{2} + 2g \times delta(s) \\ {v}^{2} = 0 + 2 \times 10 \times 12 \\ {v}^{2} = 240m/s

120g = 0.12 kg

Ek = 0.12 x 240/2
Ek = 28.8/2
Ek = 14.4 J

A helium-filled balloon occupies a volume of 15 cubic meters at sea level. the balloon is released and raises to a point in the
Elena L [17]

According to Boyle’s law, For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P (pressure) and V (volume) are inversely proportional.

Therefore,

P_{1} V_{1} =P_{2} V_{2}

Given P_{1} = 1 atm , V_{1} = 15 \ cubic \ meter and P_{2} = 0.75\ atm.

Thus,

V_{2} = \frac{P_{1}\times V_{1}  }{ P_{2} } = \frac{1\times 15}{0.75} =20 m^3

Calculate the percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean given that the density of ice is 916.3kg/m3 an
pogonyaev

Answer:

The percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean = 89.67%

Explanation:

Let V be the total volume of the iceberg

Let x be the volume of iceberg submerged

According to Archimedes principle,

weight of the iceberg = weight of the water displaced (that is, weight of x volume of water)

Weight of the iceberg = mg= ρ(iceberg) × V × g

Weight of water displaced = ρ(fluid) × x × g

We then have

ρ(iceberg) × V × g = ρ(fluid) × x × g

(x/V) = ρ(iceberg) ÷ ρ(fluid) = 916.3 ÷ 1021.9 = 0.8967 = 89.67%

Hope this Helps!!!!

How are electromagnetic waves different from all other waves
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.
