The tendency for an object to sink or float has to do with the object's density. True False

Physics
1 answer:
Stella [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

BECAUSE AN OBJECTS DENSITY  SHOWS HOW MUCH WEIGHT IS PER CUBIC UNIT. LIKE SAD HAS MORE DENSITY THAN WATER SO IT SINKS WHILE WOOD HAS LESS DENSITY THAN WATER SO IT FLOATS

(m = 4.0 kg) the cockroach rides on the rim (at radius R) of a disk (M = 6.0 kg) that turns about its center like a merry-go-rou
kvasek [131]

Answer:

ω' = 2.5 rad/s

Explanation:

mass of cockroach, m = 4 kg

mass of disk, M = 6 kg

Radius of disc= R

initial angular velocity, ω = 2 rad/s

Let the final angular velocity is ω'

As no external torque is applied, so the angular momentum is constant.

Angular momentum = Moment of inertia x angular velocity

I ω = I' ω'

\frac{1}{2}\left ( M+m \right )R^{2}\times {2} = \left (\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}+m(0.5R)^{2})  \right )\omega '

10R^{2} = 4R^{2}\omega '

ω' = 2.5 rad/s

Why does the hood of a car heat up after the car has been running for a while? A) According to the fourth law of thermodynamics,
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

C) According to the second law of thermodynamics, not all energy from the burnt fuel is used to do work on the piston. It also produces heat which warms other parts of the car.  

Explanation:

A) According to the fourth law of thermodynamics, the temperature of the other parts of the car increases due to the coolant used for the engine.  

B) According to the first law of thermodynamics, the hood of the car heats up using heat from the surroundings in-order to achieve thermal equilibrium with the engine.  

C) According to the second law of thermodynamics, not all energy from the burnt fuel is used to do work on the piston. It also produces heat which warms other parts of the car.  

D) According to the third law of thermodynamics, the increase in the velocity of the car changes the entropy of the tires. To balance this change, the temperature of the other parts is increased.

A 250-kN railroad car A is traveling at 40 m/s while a 550-kN freight car B is traveling at 10 m/s (both cars heading to the rig
Damm [24]

Answer:

the maximum deformation undergone by the spring = 47.46 cm

Explanation:

Using conservation of  momentum:

m_Av_A + m_Bv_B = (m_A+m_B )v

where:

m_A = \frac{250\ kN}{g}

v_A = 40

m_B = \frac{550\ kN}{g}

v_B =10

Then;

m_Av_A + m_Bv_B = (m_A+m_B )v

\frac{250*10^3}{9.81}*40 + \frac{550*10^3}{9.81}*10 = (\frac{800*10^3}{9.81} )v

1580020.387 = 81549.43935 \ v

v = \frac{1580020.387}{81549.43935}

v = 19.375 m/s

However ; using conservation of energy to determine the maximum deformation undergone by the spring ; we have:

\frac{1}{2} [m_Av_A^2 +m_Bv_B^2] =\frac{1}{2}[(m_A+m_B)v^2 + kx^2]

[m_Av_A^2 +m_Bv_B^2] =[(m_A+m_B)v^2 + kx^2]

[\frac{250*10^3}{9.81}*40^2 + \frac{550*10^3}{9.81}*10^2] =[ (\frac{800*10^3}{9.81} )*19.375^2 + 70 *10^6 \ * x^2]

x = 0.4746 m

x = 47.46 cm

Thus,  the maximum deformation undergone by the spring = 47.46 cm

True or false: a probability contour represents a bounded, finite volume about a nucleus in which there is a substantial probabi
erastovalidia [21]

A probability contour represents a bounded, finite volume about a nucleus in which there is a substantial probability of finding the electron is TRUE.

The rectangular of the wave characteristic, ψ2 , represents the opportunity of locating an electron in a given vicinity within the atom. probability finding electron at nucleus is zero.

An orbital is a mathematical feature that has a fee at all points in space. The magnitude squared of that fee is the chance according to volume of locating an electron in that volume of area.

The probability of locating electron in nodes is 0, but there are electron densities on all round nodes. The node is a point or a floor (relying at the type of node) so the volume of the vicinity wherein ψ=zero is zero. we want to position V=zero and we get P=zero so the chance of finding the electron on the node is zero.
