Assume you have an ice cube and also a small rock that is the same size and shape as the ice cube. Predict what would happen if

you placed the ice cube and rock in a glass of water.

Answer: The ice cube would float on top of the water and the rock would sink to the bottom.

Explanation: The ice cube has a smaller density than the rock which allows the ice cube to float but makes the rock sink to the bottom of the glass of water.

A pendulum is made by letting a 4 kg mass swing at the end of a string that has a length of 1.5 meter. The maximum angle that th

Answer:

Approximately $7.8\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

The change in the gravitational potential energy of the pendulum is directly related to the change in its height.

Refer to the sketch attached. The pendulum is initially at $\rm P_2$ . Its highest point is at $P_1$ . The length of segment $\rm BP_2$ gives the change in its height.

The lengths of $\rm AP_1$ and $\rm AP_2$ are simply the length of the string, $1.5\; \rm m$ . To find the length of $\rm BP_2$ , start by calculating the length of $\rm AB$ .

$\rm AB$ forms a leg in the right triangle $\rm \triangle AP_1B$ . Besides, it is adjacent to the $30^\circ$ angle $\rm P_1\hat{A}B$ . Its length would be:

$\rm AB = 1.5 \times \cos(30^\circ) \approx 1.30\; \rm m$ .

The length of $\rm BP_2$ would thus be

$\rm BP_2 = AP_2 - AB = 1.5 - 1.30 \approx 0.20\; \rm m$ .

The change in gravitational potential energy can be found with the equation

$\Delta \mathrm{GPE} = m \cdot g \cdot \Delta h$ . In this equation,

$m$ is the mass of the object,
$g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ near the surface of the earth, and
$\Delta h$ is the change in the object's height.

In this case, $m = 4\; \rm kg$ and $\Delta h \approx 0.20\; \rm m$ . Therefore:

$\Delta \mathrm{GPE} = 4 \times 9.81 \times 0.20 \approx 7.8\; \rm J$ .

What is the target heart rate a female age 32

Airida [17]

Answer:

The normal resting heart rate for adults over the age of 10 years, including older adults, is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm). Highly trained athletes may have a resting heart rate below 60 bpm, sometimes reaching 40 bpm. The resting heart rate can vary within this normal range.

In 1935, a French destroyer, La Terrible, attained one of the fastest speeds for any standard warship. Suppose it took 3.0 min a

REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From newton's equation of motion of uniform acceleration

v = u + at

where v is final velocity , u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and time is t .

putting the values

v = 0 + .5 x 3 x 60 ( time in second = 3 x 60 s )

= 90 m /s

So , final velocity is 90 m /s .

Answer:

22.26 years

, 15.585 light years , 11.13 light years

Explanation:

a)

$t' = t/(\sqrt{1-(v/(c*v)/c)}$

= $15.9/\sqrt{(1-0.7*0.7)}$

= 22.26 years

b)

0.7*c*22.26 years

=15.585 light years

c)

0.7*c*15.9

=11.13 light years
