A plastic bottle partially filled with water floats on water, even though the density of the plastic (1.2 g/cc) is more than tha

t of water. Why is that?
Physics

Semmy [17]3 years ago

Answer:

True the plastic will float because of the principle of flotation or buoyancy

Explanation:

Buoyancy explains it all!!

Buoyancy  is the upward force/upthrust experienced by a body immersed totally or partially in a liquid.

According to the principle of flotation:

<em>"when a body is totally or partially immersed in liquid it experiences an upthrust which is equal to the volume of fluid displaced"</em>

The plastic will float due to the fact the average density of the total volume of the plastic and the air inside it is less than the same volume of water it is floating in

Match the following vocabulary words with their definitions:
Ronch [10]

Correct matching:


1 acceleration --> rate of change in velocity, which is the change in velocity divided by the change in time

2. speed --> the rate at which an object changes position when traveling in a certain direction

4. gravity --> force of attraction between all masses in the universe

5. Inertia --> an object´s resistance to a change in motion

3. friction --> force of resistance acting between objects in contact and tending to dampen their motion

6. velocity --> the rate at which an object changes position

Some homes that use baseboard heating use copper tubing. hot water runs through and heats the copper tubing, which in turn heats
AlekseyPX
When you heat a certain substance with a difference of temperature \Delta T the heat (energy) you must give to it is
E(=Q) =mc\Delta T
where c is the specific heat of that substance (given in J/(g*Celsius))
In this case
E=645*0.3850*(28.22-13.20) =3729.8 (Joule)

Observation: the specific heat of a substance is given in J/(g*Celsius) or J/(g*Kelvin)  because on the temperature scale a difference of 1 degree Celsius = 1 degree Kelvin

Why are the element from period 2 grouped together
valentinak56 [21]
All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example, every element in the top row (the first period) has one orbital for its electrons. All of the elements in the second row (the second period) have two orbitals for their electrons. As you move down the table, every row adds an orbital.

Which statement is true regarding a distance vs. time graph? (1 point)
Nadusha1986 [10]

The statement that is true regarding a distance vs. time graph is option A: The graph should show distance on the vertical axis.

<h3>Where is the plot of distance?</h3>

How far an object has come in a certain amount of time is displayed on a distance-time graph. Time is represented on the X-axis and Distance is plotted on the Y-axis (left) (bottom).

On a distance-time graph, an object's motion is indicated by a sloping line. The slope or gradient of the line in a distance-time graph is equal to the object's speed. The object is travelling more quickly the steeper the line is (and the bigger the gradient).

Note that the distance-time graph shows the relationship between distance and time by plotting distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
