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 %

puteri [66]

Answer:

(b) Yes, the earth gains momentum but the change in momentum of the earth is much lesser compared to that of everyone in the air. The resistance to motion (inertia of the earth), which is a function of its mass is so great that the earth's acceleration is small in the given time frame.

Explanation:

From Newton's second law which can be stated mathematically as

F = m(v-u)/t = ma.

By Newton's law of gravitation, there is a force between the earth and everyone in the air. This force is responsible for the change in momentum of everyone in the air and this force gives them an acceleration equal to g = 9.80m/s². By Newton's law of gravitation and Newton's third law of motion, this force is also equal to the force exerted by everyone on the earth.

For this to be true,

F = M (everyone) ×a (everyone) = M(earth) × a (earth).

And

a (earth) = {M (everyone) ×a (everyone) }/M (earth)

Then

a (earth) must be lesser than a (everyone) since M(earth) >> M(everyone).

a = change in momentum/ time

Therefore the earth will have a much lesser change in momentum which is the reason we won't notice the earth's movement.

Thank you for reading.

You throw a baseball directly upward at time ????=0 at an initial speed of 14.9 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches
xeze [42]

Answer:

Maximum height, h = 11.32 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

The baseball is thrown directly upward at time, t = 0

Initial speed of the baseball, u = 14.9 m/s

Ignoring the resistance in this case and using a = g = 9.8 m/s²

We have to find the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand. Let the maximum height is h. Using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2ah

At maximum height, v = 0

and a = -g = -9.8 m/s²

h=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

h=\dfrac{0-(14.9\ m/s)^2}{2\times -9.8\ m/s^2}

h = 11.32 meters

Hence, the maximum height of the baseball is 11.32 meters.

During which phase does the arrangement of water molecules become more orderly?
erastovalidia [21]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. During the condensing phase that the <span>arrangement of water molecules become more orderly. Condensation is the phase change from gas to liquid. Liquid molecules has more order than the gas state. Hope this answers the question.</span>
