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

The lowest-pitch tone to resonate in a pipe of length L that is closed at one end and open at the other end is 200 Hz. Which one
ozzi

Answer:

e. 400 Hz

Explanation:

In closed organ pipe,  only odd harmonics of fundamental note is possible .

The fundamental frequency is 200 Hz . Then other overtones will be having following frequencies .

200 x 3 , 200 x 5 , 200 x 7 , 200 x 9 etc

600 Hz , 1000 Hz , 1400 Hz  , 1800 Hz .

Frequency not possible is 400 Hz .

Based on the law of conservation of energy, how can we reasonably improve a machine’s ability to do work?
kifflom [539]
Based on the law of conservation of energy, we know that we can't create energy, machines can only convert one type of energy into another. So, if we want to improve a machines's ability then we need to reduce it's loss energy (part of energy which is useless). Out of all the options only Option C fits best with it.

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

A car's velocity as a function of time is given by vx(t)=α+βt2, where α=3.00m/s and β=0.100m/s3.
Mice21 [21]

1) Analyze the equation

Vₓ = α + β t²

Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 t²

That is a quadratic equation, so the graph is a parabola.

2) Therefore, take into account that the main points to draw a parabola are:

i) vertex

ii) concavity

iii) y-intercepts

iv) x - intercepts

Also, for all graphs you need the domain and the range.

3) Find the y-intercept (t = 0)

t = 0 ⇒ Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (0)² = 3.00

4) Find the x-intercepts (Vₓ = 0)

Vₓ = 0 ⇒ 0 = 3.00 + 0.100 t²

⇒ t² = - 3.00 / 0.100 = -30.0. Since t² cannot be negative, there is not x-intercepts.

5) Concavity

Since, the coefficient of t² is positive, the parabola open upwards.

6) Vertex

It is the local minimum of the equation. You can find it by the first derivative

Vₓ' = 2×0.100 t = 0 ⇒ t = 0

Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (0)² = 3.00 m/s

⇒ vertex = (0,3.00)

7) The domain is given t ∈ [0,5.00]

8) You can also build a table with several points in the domain

t =0; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (0)² = 0

t = 1; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (1)² = 3.10

t = 2; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (2)² = 3.40

t = 3; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (3)² = 3.90

t = 4; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (4)² = 4.60

t = 5; Vₓ = 3.00 + 0.100 (5)² = 5.50

9) Range: Vₓ ∈ [ 3.00, 5.50]

10) All that information permits you to put several points in a coordinate sysment and sketch the same graph as the shown in the figure attached.
