Which graph shows the relationship between temperature, X, and kinetic energy, Y?
2 answers:
Answer: see the graph attached (straight line, passing through the origin and positive slope).
Justification:
1) Kinetic energy and temperature are in direct proportion. That means:
i) Being kinetic energy y and temperature x: y α x
ii) That implies: y = kx,where k is the constant of proportionality.
iii) The graph is a line that passes through the origin and has positive slope k (k = y / x).
2) The proportional relationship between kinetic energy (KE) and temperature (T) is shown by the Boltzman law, which states:
Average KE = [3 / 2] KT, where K is Boltzman's constant, whose graph is of the form shown in the figure attached.

Answer:

Explanation:
When the ball is placed in this pool of water, part of the ball would be beneath the surface of the pool. The volume of the water that this ball displaced is equal to the volume of the ball that is beneath the water surface.
The buoyancy force on this ball would be equal in magnitude to the weight of water that this ball has displaced.
Let denote the mass of this ball. Let
denote the mass of water that this ball has displaced.
Let denote the gravitational field strength. The weight of this ball would be
. Likewise, the weight of water displaced would be
.
For this ball to stay afloat, the buoyancy force on this ball should be greater than or equal to the weight of this ball. In other words:
.
At the same time, buoyancy is equal in magnitude the the weight of water displaced. Thus:
.
Therefore:
.
.
In other words, the mass of water that this ball displaced should be greater than or equal to the mass of of the ball. Let denote the density of water. The volume of water that this ball should displace would be:
.
Given that while
:
.
In other words, for this ball to stay afloat, at least of the volume of this ball should be under water. Therefore, the volume of this ball should be at least
.
