Pour the entire components into water.

First the iron filings can be separated using a magnet as iron is a magnetic element.

By pouring the mixture into water, it allows the salt to dissolve in the water, while the sand will not.

Next we can run this solution through a filtration device to separate the sand from the water.

Now all that's left is to let the water evaporate so that the salt will be exposed that dissolved into the water.

How does friction affect the kinetic energy of an object?

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: Friction also prevents an object from starting to move, such as a shoe placed on a ramp. When friction acts between two surfaces that are moving over each other, some kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy. Friction can sometimes be useful.

A father fashions a swing for his children out of a long rope that he fastens to the limb of a tall tree. As one of the children

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the child at the bottom of the swing is 15.04 m/s².

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$

Where:

$v^{2}$ : is the tangential speed = 9.50 m/s

r: is the distance = 6.00 m

Hence, the centripetal acceleration is:

$a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r} = \frac{(9.50 m/s)^{2}}{6.00 m} = 15.04 m/s^{2}$

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the child at the bottom of the swing is 15.04 m/s².

I hope it helps you!

If a short-wave radio station broadcasts on a frequency of 9.065 megahertz (MHz), what is the wavelength of

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one ... Typical radio wave frequencies are about 88~108 MHz .

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a radio wave, you will be using the equation: Speed of a wave = wavelength X frequency.

Since radio waves are electromagnetic waves and travel at 2.997 X

meters/second, then you will need to know the frequency of the radio wave.

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one million hertz. If the radio wave is from an AM radio station, these are in kilohertz (there are one thousand hertz in a kilohertz). Hertz are waves/second. Hertz is usually the label for the frequency of electromagnetic waves.

To conclude, to determine the wavelength of a radio wave, you take the speed and divide it by the frequency.

Typical radio wave frequencies are about

108

MHz

. The wavelength is thus typically about

A student constructed a series circuit consisting of a 12.0-volt battery, a 10.0-ohm lamp, and a

Zolol [24]

Considering the unknown resistence as R and using the Ohm's First Law, we have:

$i= \frac{V}{R_{eq}} \\ 0.5= \frac{12}{R+10} \\ R+10=24 \\ R=14-Ohm$

The equivalent resistence is given by the resistor series with the lamp resistence.

$R_{eq}=R+10 \\ R_{eq}=14+10 \\ \boxed {R_{eq}=24-Ohm}$

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

A 4 cm diameter "bobber" with a mass of 3 grams floats on a pond. A thin, light fishing line is tied to the bottom of the bobber

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculate the volume of the lead

$V=\frac{m}{d}\\\\=\frac{10g}{11.3g'cm^3}$

Now calculate the bouyant force acting on the lead

$F_L = Vpg$

$F_L=(\frac{10g}{11.3g/cm^3} )(1g/cm^3)(9.8m/s^2)\\\\=8.673\times 10^{-3}N$

This force will act in upward direction

Gravitational force on the lead due to its mass will act in downward direction

Hence the difference of this two force

$T=mg-F_L\\\\=(10\times10^{-3}kg(9.8m/s^2)-8.673\times 10^{-3}\\\\=8.933\times10^{-3}N$

If V is the volume submerged in the water then bouyant force on the bobber is

$F_B=V'pg$

Equate bouyant force with the tension and gravitational force

$F_B=T_mg\\\\V'pg=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg} \\\\V'=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg}$

Now Total volume of bobble is

$\frac{V'}{V^B} =\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+Mg}{pg} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 }\times100\\\\=\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+(3)(9.8)}{(1000)(9.8)} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi (4.0\times10^{-2})^3 }\times100\\\\$

= $\large\boxed{4.52 \%}$
