The velocity of the rock will be -39.24\frac{m}{s}

Why?

Please note that the sign of the result, will depend on where we assume the origin, for this problem, I'll assume that the origin is located at the ground, so the velocity will be negative.

To calculate the speed of the rock, we need to use the following formula:

v_{4seconds}=v_{o}-g*t\\\\v_{4seconds}=v_{o}-(9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}})*(4seconds)\\\\v_{4seconds}=0-(9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}})*(4seconds)=-39.24\frac{m}{s}

Hence, we have that the velocity of the rock will be -39.24\frac{m}{s}

Have a nice day!

The molecules in metal are usually more tightly packed than the molecules in water. Most metals will sink in water. Pick your co
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Metal is more dense than water.

Explanation:

As we know, the molecules of the metal are tightly closed as compared to that of water and the density of a material is defined as the mass of the material per unit volume.

In a certain volume of metal, there are more numbers of molecules than that of water in the same amount of volume, therefore the density of metal is greater than that of water.

Also, according to Archimedes' principle, if there is an object in a fluid, then the buoyant force on that object is equal to the weight of the fluid that it displaces.

When the density of the object is larger than that of the fluid then it overcomes that buoyant force and sinks.

Thus, an object sinks in a fluid if its density is larger than that of the fluid and floats otherwise.

Since, the metal sink in water, it means Metal is more dense than water.

The Bernoulli principle states that the pressure inside a liquid increases with depth:
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
<h2>Answer: B. False</h2>

Explanation:

According to Bernoulli's principle:

<em>"In an ideal fluid (not viscous and without friction) that circulates through a closed conduit, the energy the fluid possesses remains constant along its path." </em>

From there, Bernoulli deduced that the fluid pressure decreases when the flow rate increases. <u>And this has nothing to do with depth. </u>

<u> </u>

To understand it better:

In a fluid that circulates through a closed conduit (a pipe for example), it contains energy in two ways:

-Kinetic energy due to its <u>weigh</u>t and <u>speed. </u>

-Potential energy in the form of <u>pressure. </u>

Now, if the system has constant flow and the total energy (kinetic + potential) is also constant, <u>the energy is transformed every time the transverse area of ​​the tube is modified. </u>

It should be noted that by modifying this transverse area, the flow rate is also modified.

Therefore, <u>as the kinetic energy increases or decreases, this change is compensated by the decrease or increase in pressure</u> (potential energy), since the total energy of the system cannot be created or destroyed.
