The buoyant force on a floating object is equal to the object's weight.

So the vertical forces on the object are balanced.  That's a big part
of the reason why it's just sitting there and not accelerating up or down.

What is the relationship between the density of a substance and the speed of sound through that substance?
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:The greater the density of a medium, the slower the speed of sound. This observation is analogous to the fact that the frequency of a simple harmonic motion is inversely proportional to m, the mass of the oscillating object. The speed of sound in air is low, because air is easily compressible.

13. What's most intriguing about Titan's atmosphere?
sineoko [7]

Answer: There is an unsolved mystery surrounding Titan's atmosphere: Because methane is broken down by sunlight, scientists believe there is another source that replenishes what is lost. One potential source of methane is volcanic activity, but this has yet to be confirmed.

A boy in a wheelchair (total mass 54.5 kg) has speed 1.40 m/s at the crest of a slope 2.10 m high and 12.4 m long. At the bottom
babymother [125]

Answer:

630.75 j

Explanation:

from the question we have the following

total mass (m) = 54.5 kg

initial speed (Vi) = 1.4 m/s

final speed (Vf) = 6.6 m/s

frictional force (FF) = 41 N

height of slope (h) = 2.1 m

length of slope (d) = 12.4 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

work done (wd) = ?

  • we can calculate the work done by the boy in pushing the chair using the law of law of conservation of energy

wd + mgh = (0.5 mVf^2) - (0.5 mVi^2) + (FF x  d)

wd = (0.5 mVf^2) - (0.5 mVi^2) + (FF x  d) - (mgh)

where wd = work done

m = mass

h = height

g = acceleration due to gravity

FF = frictional force

d = distance

Vf and Vi = final and initial velocity

wd =  (0.5 x 54.5 x 6.9^2) - (0.5 x 54.5 x 1.4^2) + (41 x 12.4) - (54.5 X 9.8 X 2.1)            

wd = 630.75 j

Electrical wire with a diameter of .5 cm is wound on a spool with a radius of 30 cm and a height of 24 cm.
kow [346]

Answer:

a)   # lap = 301.59 rad , b)   L = 90.48 m

Explanation:

a) Let's use a direct proportions rule (rule of three). If one turn of the wire covers 0.05 cm, how many turns do you need to cover 24 cm

          # turns = 1 turn (24 cm / 0.5 cm)

         # laps = 48 laps

Let's reduce to radians

        # laps = 48 laps (2 round / 1 round)

       # lap = 301.59 rad

b) Each lap gives a length equal to the length of the circle

          L₀ = 2π R

          L = # turns L₀

          L = # turns 2π R

          L = 48 2π 30

          L = 9047.79 cm

          L = 90.48 m
