The volumes of a sample of lead and a sample of platinum are the same: 2 cm3. The density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3 and the density
Vlad1618 [11]

The answer is C. The mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample. As I explained in a previous answer, if they are the same volume, but one is heavier, then it must be more dense. In this particular example, the platinum is more dense than the lead, and therefore has more mass.

Two skaters collide and grab on to each other on frictionless ice. One of them, of mass 77.0 kg, is moving to the right at 4.00
Alex777 [14]

Answer:3.31m/s², to the right

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of momentum of a body, change in momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the change in momentum after collision.

Momentum = mass × velocity

M1 and M2 be the masses of the first and second skaters respectively

Let u1 and u2 be the velocities of the first and second skaters respectively.

v be their common velocity after collision

M1 = 77kg M2 = 66kg u1 = 4m/s² u2 = 2.5m/s²

According to the law we have

M1u1 + M2u2 = (M1+M2)v

77(4) + 66(2.5) = (77+66)v

308 + 165 = 143v

V = 473/143

V = 3.31m/s²

Their velocity after collision will become 3.31m/s²

They will both move towards the right after collision because the mass of the body moving to the right is higher than the other mass and the mass is also moving at a higher velocity than the other.

How do soaring birds utilize convection? A : They use the warm air to stay warm.
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Option B. They use thermal updrafts to stay aloft

Explanation:

The sunlight warms the surface of the earth during noon and morning time and when this warming of the Earth's surface is not evenly done or uniform then this gives rise to the thermals. These are the rising air columns and rises when the air nearest to the earth heats up.

This is how some birds like vultures make use of the thermal updrafts to maintain flight.

6. A 2.2 kg rock rests on the edge of a bridge that is 3.3 m above a river. What is the
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: 71 J

Explanation: The formula for gravitational potential energy is Epg= mgh.

So you plug in 2.2 as m, 3.3 as h and 9.81 as g. Once you do that you should get an answer of 71.2206. But because there are only two significant digits in the question, your answer must also have two significant digits.
