Answer:

Since the density of salt water is higher than that of fresh water.

Explanation:

Less salt water will be displaces and the ship will float higher.

Which of the following best describes electromagnetic waves?

luda_lava [24]

Electromagnetic waves are waves characterized by oscillating coupled electric and magnetic fields (electromagnetic fields). Because these are waves, they are shown to exhibit wave phenomena such as diffraction, reflection, and transmission, much like other types of waves.

The best description looks like option D

A person is standing on an elevator initially at rest at the first floor of a high building. The elevator then begins to ascend

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The found acceleration in terms of h and t is:

$a=\frac{h}{5(t_1)^2}$

Explanation:

(The complete question is given in the attached picture. We need to find the acceleration in terms of h and t in this question)

We are given 3 stages of movement of elevator. We'll first model them each of the stage one by one to find the height covered in each stage. After that we'll find the total height covered by adding heights covered in each stage, and equate it to Total height h. From that we can find the formula for acceleration.

<h3></h3><h3>Stage 1</h3>

Constant acceleration, starts from rest.

Distance = $y = \frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2$

Velocity = $v_1=at_1$

<h3>Stage 2</h3>

Constant velocity where

Velocity = $v_o=v_1=at_1$

Distance =

<h3> $y_2=v_2(t_2)\\\text{Where~}t_2=4t_1 ~\text{and}~ v_2=v_1=at_1\\y_2=(at_1)(4t_1)\\y_2=4a(t_1)^2\\$ </h3><h3 /><h3>Stage 3</h3>

Constant deceleration where

Velocity = $v_0=v_1=at_1$

Distance =

$y_3=v_1t_3-\frac{1}{2}a(t_3)^2\\\text{Where}~t_3=t_1\\y_3=v_1t_1-\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2\\\text{Where}~ v_1t_1=a(t_1)^2\\y_3=a(t_1)^2-\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2\\\text{Subtracting both terms:}\\y_3=\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2$

<h3>Total Height</h3>

Total height = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

Total height = $\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2+4a(t_1)^2+\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2 = 5a(t_1)^2$

<h3 /><h3>Acceleration</h3>

Find acceleration by rearranging the found equation of total height.

Total Height = h

h = 5a(t₁)²

$a=\frac{h}{5(t_1)^2}$

Explain how a theodolite works.

Oksana_A [137]

The theodolite is a precision measuring device used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It works with a combination of: (1) optical plummets, which is used to ensure that it is placed exactly vertical above; (2) internal spirit, which ensures that it is levelled to the horizon; and (3) graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, which is used to measure actual angles. The mounted telescope can swivel horizontally and vertically. If this is adjusted correctly, accurate measurements can be obtained.

A current of 0.92 a flows in a wire. how many electrons are flowing past any point in the wire per second? the charge on one ele

Fantom [35]

The current is defined as the ratio between the charge Q flowing through a certain point of a wire and the time interval, $\Delta t$ :
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
First we need to find the net charge flowing at a certain point of the wire in one second, $\Delta t=1.0 s$ . Using I=0.92 A and re-arranging the previous equation, we find
$Q=I \Delta t= (0.92 A)(1.0 s)=0.92 C$

Now we know that each electron carries a charge of $e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ , so if we divide the charge Q flowing in the wire by the charge of one electron, we find the number of electron flowing in one second:
$N= \frac{Q}{q} = \frac{0.92 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C}=5.75 \cdot 10^{18}$

What are the components of friction?

Tresset [83]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Friction:</u>

When an object slips on a surface, an opposing force acts between the tangent planes which acts in the opposite direction of motion. This opposing force is called Friction. Or in other words, Friction is the opposing force that opposes the motion between two surfaces.

The main component of friction are:

<u>Normal Reaction (R): </u>

Suppose a block is placed on a table in the above picture, which is in resting state, then two forces are acting on it at that time.

The first is due to its weight mg which is working from its center of gravity towards the vertical bottom.

The second one is superimposed vertically upwards by the table on the block, called the reaction force (P). This force passes through the center of gravity of the block.

Due to P = mg, the box is in equilibrium position on the table.

<u>Coefficient of friction ( </u>μ )<u>: </u>

The ratio of the force of friction and the reaction force is called the coefficient of friction.

Coefficient of friction, µ = force of friction / reaction force

μ = F / R

The coefficient of friction is volume less and dimensionless.

Its value is between 0 to 1.

<u>Advantage and disadvantage from friction force: </u>

The advantage of the force of friction is that due to friction, we can walk on the earth without slipping.
Brakes in all vehicles are due to the force of friction.
We can write on the board only because of the force of friction.
The disadvantage of this force is that due to friction, some parts of energy are lost in the machines and there is wear and tear on the machines.

<u>How to reduce friction: </u>

Using lubricants (oil or grease) in machines.
Friction can be reduced by using ball bearings etc.
Using a soap solution and powder.
