an object sinks to the bottom of a container filled with water.what is the relationship between the weight of the object and the
mars1129 [50]
If the object sinks, then it must be heavier than the weight of the water
it displaces ... heavier than the buoyant force acting on it. 

If the buoyant force were equal or greater than the object's weight, then
the object would rise to the surface in water.

Explain why the energy in the sun moves out toward the surface
IgorLugansk [536]

energy moves through the sun in two main way, Radiation and Convection.

Explanation:

as the energy moves outward from the sun's core, 1st enters rhe radiation zone. the radiation zone is a region of highly compressed gas. here the energy is transferred by the absorption and irradiation of electromagnetic waves

A projectile is launched at an angle of 30° and lands 20 s later at the same height as it was launched. (a) What is the initial
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

a)Initial speed of the projectile = 196.2 m/s

b)Maximum altitude = 490.5 m

c) Range of projectile = 3398.28 m

d) Displacement from the point of launch to the position on its trajectory at 15 s = 2575.12 m

Explanation:

Time of flight of a projectile is given by the expression,

               t=\frac{2usin\theta}{g}

           Here θ = 30° and t = 20 s

a) t=\frac{2usin\theta}{g}\\\\20=\frac{2\times usin30}{9.81}\\\\u=196.2m/s

  Initial speed of the projectile = 196.2 m/s

b) Maximum altitude is given by

                  H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{196.2^2\times sin^230}{2\times 9.81}=490.5m

      Maximum altitude = 490.5 m

c) Range of projectile is given by

                              R=\frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}=\frac{196.2^2\times sin(2\times 30)}{9.81}=3398.28m

    Range of projectile = 3398.28 m

d) Horizontal velocity = ucosθ = 196.2 x cos 30 = 169.91 m/s

   Vertical velocity = usinθ = 196.2 x sin 30 = 98.1 m/s

   We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

   Horizontal motion

                         u = 169.91 m/s

                         a = 0 m/s²

                          t = 15 s

                Substituting

                          s = 169.91 x 15 + 0.5 x 0 x 15² = 2548.71 m

      Vertical motion

                         u = 98.1 m/s

                         a = -9.81 m/s²

                          t = 15 s

                Substituting

                          s = 98.1 x 15 + 0.5 x -9.81 x 15² = 367.88 m

   \texttt{Total displacement =}\sqrt{2548.71^2+367.88^2}=2575.12m

   Displacement from the point of launch to the position on its trajectory at 15 s = 2575.12 m

What range of sound wavelengths in air at room temperature are audible to a human with ideal hearing (f= 20 Hz - 20 kHz)?
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

0.017 m - 17 m

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and frequency of a wave is:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where v is the speed of the wave, \lambda the wavelength and f the frequency.

The speed of sound waves in air at room temperature is

v = 340 m/s

For the lowest frequency, f = 20 Hz, the wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{20 Hz}=17 m

For the highest frequency, f = 20 kHz = 20,000 Hz, the wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{20,000 Hz}=0.017 m
