1 answer:

6 0

A mold fossil is a 3D example of an object, while a mold fills up with a sediment like mud. The mold fossil is related to the cast fossil because both can hold an organism or part of an organism.

Consider a rectangular ice floe 5.00 m high, 4.00 m long, and 3.00 m wide. a) What percentage of the ice floe is below the water

artcher [175]

Answer:

(a) 92 %

(b) 6.76 %

Explanation:

length, l = 4 m, height, h = 5 m, width, w = 3 m, density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

density of ice = 920 kg/m^3, density of mercury = 13600 kg/m^3

(a) Let v be the volume of ice below water surface.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of water x g = Total volume of ice block x density

of ice x g

v x 1000 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.92

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.92 x 100 = 92 %

(b) Let v be the volume of ice below the mercury.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of mercury x g = Total volume of ice block x

density of ice x g

v x 13600 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.0676

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.0676 x 100 = 6.76 %

A wave travels at a constant speed. How does the frequency change if the wavelength increases by a factor of 2?

NARA [144]

Answer : The frequency decreases by a factor of 2.

Explanation :

Given that the wave travels at a constant speed. The speed of the wave is given as :

$v=\nu\times \lambda$

Where

υ is the frequency of the wave

and λ is the wavelength of the wave.

In this case, the speed is constant. So, the relation between the frequency and the wavelength is inverse.

$\nu\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}$

If the wavelength increases by a factor of 2, its frequency will decrease by a factor of 2.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " The frequency decreases by a factor of 2 ".

The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 6800 rpm . When the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in

tangare [24]

The angular acceleration of the blade when it's switched off is (-6800 rev/min) divided by (2.8 sec) = -2,428.6 rev/(min-sec) = -40.5 rev/sec^2 .

The system below has a friction force of 25 N acting on the cart which 8 kg. The mass hanging off the edge has a mass of 6 kg. F

photoshop1234 [79]

The cart will be pulled to the right by the hanging mass, so by Newton's second law, the net force on the cart is

T - 25 N = (8 kg) a

where T is the tension in the rope and a is the acceleration.

The hanging mass has a net force of

(6 kg) g - T = (6 kg) a

where g = 9.8 m/s².

Adding these equations together eliminates T, and we can solve for a :

(T - 25 N) + ((6 kg) g - T ) = (14 kg) a

33.8 N = (14 kg) a

a = (33.8 N) / (14 kg) ≈ 2.4 m/s²

Then the tension in the rope is

T - 25 N = (8 kg) (2.4 m/s²)

T ≈ 25 N + 19.31 N ≈ 44 N
