No because the rock isn't hollow it is hard from the inside out so it sinks because of its mass

Do tides depend more on the strength of gravitational pull or on the difference in strengths? explain.
SSSSS [86.1K]
Tides are influenced by the force of gravity exerted by the earth, moon and the sun. The sun has a larger mass than the moon and as such has a greater gravitational pull on the earth. the moon however has greater influence over the tides because they are caused by the difference in gravity fields. This means that the moon is the dominant influence due to the fact that the fractional difference in its force across the earth is greater than that seen from the sun.

A 2 kg ball of putty moving to the right at 3 m/s has a perfectly inelastic, head-on collision with a 1 kg ball of putty moving
Aneli [31]

Answer:

V=1.33m/s   to the right

Explanation:

The balls collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision.

In the axis X:

m_{1}*v_{o1}-m_{2}*v_{o2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V     (1)

V=(m_{1}*v_{o1}-m_{2}*v_{o2})/(m_{1}+m_{2})=(2*3-1*2)/(2+1)=1.33m/s

A particle with charge −− 5.90 nCnC is moving in a uniform magnetic field B⃗ =−(B→=−( 1.28 TT )k^k^. The magnetic force on the p
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge q=-5.90nC

Magnetic field B= -1.28T k

And the magnetic force

F =−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j

Let the velocity be V(xi + yj + zk)

Then, the force is given as

Note i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k. j×i=-k

j×k=i. k×j=-i

k×i=j. i×k=-j

The force in a magnetic field is given as

F= q(v×B)

−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j =

q(xi + yj + zk) × -1.28k

−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( -1.28x i×k - 1.28y j×k - 1.28z k×k)

−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( 1.28xj - 1.28y i )

−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( -1.28y i + 1.28x j)

So comparing comparing coefficients

let compare x axis component

-( 3.70×10−7N )i=-1.28qy i

−3.70×10−7N = -1.28qy

y= -3.7×10^-7/-1.28q

y= -3.7×10^-7/-1.28×-5.90×10^-9)

y=-48.99m/s

y≈-49m/s

Let compare y-axisaxis

7.6×10−7N j = 1.28qx j

7.6×10−7N = 1.28qx

x= 7.6×10^-7/1.28q

x= 7.6×10^-7/1.28×-5.90×10^-9

x=-100.64m/s

a. Then, the velocity of the x component is x= -100.64m/s

b. Also, the velocity component of the y axis is y=-49m/s

c. We will compute

V•F

V=-100.64i -49j

F=−( 3.70×10−7 N )i+( 7.60×10−7 N )j

Note

i.j=j.i=0. Also i.i = j.j =1

V•F is

(-100.64i-49j)•−(3.70×10−7N)i+(7.60×10−7 N )j =

3.724×10^-5 - 3.724×10^-5=0

V•F=0

d. Angle between V and F

V•F=|V||F|Cosx

0=|V||F|Cosx

Cosx=0

x= arccos(0)

x=90°

Since the dot product is zero, from vectors , if the dot product of two vectors is zero, then the vectors are perpendicular to each other
