Why do some objects float why others sink

Chemistry

It will sink. This means whether or not an object will float or sink depends on its own density and the density of the liquid it is placed in. In the case of water, an object with a density less than 1 g/cm3 will float. The closer its density is to 1 g/cm3, the more of it will sit below the water level.

Because so objects are denser than water and some are less dense than water

Which is one characteristic of hurricanes?
siniylev [52]

Given the following choices, determine which best suits as a characteristic of a hurricane.

Answer Choices:

A. Hurricanes occur mostly inland

B. Hurricanes create widespread damage

C. Hurricanes can only last for a short amount of time

D. Hurricanes gain strength after passing overland

Best Answer: B. Hurricanes can create widespread damage.

Reason: A would not be correct since it is more of a variable, due to the fact that hurricanes usually begin near the coastlines, hurricanes are in fact capable of moving inland for atleast 100 miles before it dies down to a tropical storm or depression.

C is not correct since hurricanes can last up to a whole week which is approximately 168 hours.

D is not correct since it is another variable in which hurricanes can decrease in strength if it comes into contact with cool and dry air which is the opposite of warm and moist which it needs in order to occur.

Therefore, the best choice is B. Hurricanes can create widespread damage, hurricanes can unleash a staggering arsenal of mother nature's strength and the most damage a hurricane has caused can go up to 125 billion USD in damages.

For ethanol, propanol, and n-butanol the boiling points, surface tensions, and viscosities all increase. what is the reason for
Contact [7]
Moving from Ethanol through Propanol to Butanol the physical properties like boiling points, surface tension and viscosity increases because of the increases in intermolecular interactions between the molecules of given compounds.

Explanation:
                   Ethanol, propanol and butanol all have hydroxyl groups in common, means all have hydrogen bond intractions between their molecules. So, taking the hydrogen bonding interaction constant we are left with only the difference in the number of carbon atoms.
                    Butanol has the greatest physical properties than other two because it has four carbon atom chain. So, as we know the London Dispersion forces or Van der Waal forces increases with increase in molecular size and chain length of hydrocarbon.
                    Therefore, the strength of London forces is greater in butanol than other two while ethanol has the smallest chain comparatively hence, lowest physical properties.

The chemical equations in model 1 contain the phase notations (s), (l), (g), and (aq). match each symbol with its meaning.
Sever21 [200]

Reaction equations contains symbols which show the physical state of the reactants and products.

<h3>What is a chemical equation:</h3>

A chemical equation is an expression that shows the interaction of reactants to yield products. Usually, symbols such as (s), (l), (g), and (aq) are used to show the state of the reactants and products.

The following are the respective meanings of these symbols;

  • (s) - solid
  • (l) - Liquid
  • (g) - gas
  • (aq) - dissolved in water

Brut [27]
A) -0.5(9.8)*t^2 = -25(t-2) - 0.5(9.8)(t-2)^2 
-4.9t^2 = -25t + 50 - 4.9(t^2-4t+4) 
0 = -25t+50+19.6t - 19.6 
5.4t = 30.4 
t = 5.62962963 s 

b) h = -4.9(5.62962963)^2 
h = -155.2943759 
the building is 155.2943759 m high 

c) speed 0of first stone
