9. Which of the following characteristics of water is most responsible for the sinking of the Titanic? A. Water is liquid at roo

lozanna [386]

Answer:

D. Frozen water is less dense than liquid water.

Explanation:

Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the year 1912. There were more than 2000 passengers on board from which about 1500 died.

Frozen water that is ice has less density than liquid water. The density of ice is $0.9167 g/cm^3$ and the density of the water is $0.9998 g/cm^3$ .

Due to this very slight difference in density, ice floats on water. Titanic, on the night of April 14, 1912, crashed into an iceberg around midnight which caused opening of 5 of its watertight compartments. The water filled into the ship and it eventually sank in.

A house has well-insulated walls. It contains a volume of 105 m3 of air at 305 K.

REY [17]

Answer: $85.46\ kJ$

Explanation:

Given

Volume of air $V=105\ m^3$

Temperature of air $T=305\ K$

Increase in temperature $\Delta T=0.7^{\circ}C$

Specific heat for diatomic gas is $C_p=\dfrac{7R}{2}$

Energy required to increase the temperature is

$\Rightarrow Q=nC_pdT\\\\\Rightarrow Q=n\times \dfrac{7R}{2}\times \Delta T\\\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{7}{2}nR\Delta T\\\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{7}{2}\times \dfrac{PV}{T}\times \Delta T\quad [\text{using PV=nRT}]$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{7}{2}\times \dfrac{1.01325\times 10^5\times 105}{305}\times 0.7\\ \text{Assuming air pressure to be atmospheric P=}1.01325\times 10^5\ N/m^2\\\\\Rightarrow Q=0.8546\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow Q=85.46\ kJ$

According to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is

Mkey [24]

According to Newton's second Law of motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is 1m/s².

<h3>How to calculate acceleration?</h3>

The acceleration of a moving body can be calculated by dividing the force of the body by its mass.

According to this question, the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration can be calculated as follows:

acceleration = 10N ÷ 10kg

acceleration = 1m/s²

Therefore, according to Newton's second Law of motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is 1m/s².

I have four questions.

Inga [223]

Answer:

The potential energy of the ball is 784 joules. And the kinetic energy of it is 392 while falling halfway down.

Explanation:

PE = mass (2kg) * Gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s^2)* height (40 meters)

KE = 1/2 mass (1 kg) * velocity^2 (19.8)
