Answer:

(c) no different than on a low-pressure day.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ship when it floats in water is the buoyant force. According to the Archimedes' principle: The magnitude of buoyant force acting on the body of the object is equal to the volume displaced by the object.

Thus, Buoyant forces are a volume phenomenon and is determined by the volume of the fluid displaced.  

<u>Whether it is a high pressure day or a low pressure day, the level of the floating ship is unaffected because the increased or decreased pressure at the all the points of the water and the ship and there will be no change in the volume of the water displaced by the ship.</u>

3. Consider a locomotive and the rest of a freight train to be a single object. Suppose the locomotive is pulling the train up a
34kurt

Answer:

The friction force and the x component for the weight should be the reaction forces that are opposite and equal to the action force, which causes the locomotive to move up the hill if the velocity of the locomotive remains constant.  

Explanation:

<u>When the locomotive starts to pull the train up, appears two reaction forces opposed to the action force in the direction of the move. </u>

The first one is due to the friction between the wheels and the ground, it will be the friction force (Fr):

Fr = μ*Pₓ =μmg*sin(φ)        

<em>where μ: friction dynamic coefficient, Pₓ: is the weight component in the x-axis, m: total mass = train's mass + locomotive's mass, g: gravity, and sin(φ): is the angle respect to the x-axis.</em>              

And the second one is the x component for the weight (Wₓ):

Wₓ = mg*cos(φ)  

<em>where cos(φ): is the angle respect to the y-axis.    </em>

<em> </em>

These two forces should be the same as the action force, which causes the locomotive to move up the hill if the velocity of the locomotive remains constant.

The less internal heat a jovian planet emits the more it stirs up its clouds.
g100num [7]
The correct answer would be false. The less internal heat a jovian planet emits the lesser it stirs up its clouds making the atmosphere hotter. All of the four Jovian planets have unique atmospheres. They have more or less the same structures but they differ in their average temperature. As the distance of the planet is closer to the sun the atmosphere would be cooler. These planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They do not have a solid structure instead they are primarily composed of helium and hydrogen which makes them gas giants or ice planets. They are larger in size than the remaining planets in the solar system.

A thunderclap sends a sound wave through the air and the ocean below. The
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

C. 14.93 m

Explanation:

The given frequency of the wave, f = 100 Hz

The given equation for the wave speed, <em>v</em>, is presented as follows;

v = f × λ

The speed of sound in water, v = 1,493 m/s

Therefore, we get;

The wavelength, λ = v/f

∴ λ = 1,493 m/s/(100 Hz) = 14.93 m

The wavelength, λ = 14.93 m.
