This statement is true. The point located at the geometric center of an object is indeed called the object's center of gravity. Center of gravity is the average of the weight of a resultant of the parallel forces, including all the particles that is passing through its body.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s
blondinia [14]

Answer:

1.2 m/s

0.31 m

0.15 m

Explanation:

Time period is

T=2.5\times 2\\\Rightarrow T=5\ s

Frequency is

f=\dfrac{1}{T}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\Rightarrow f=0.2\ Hz

Velocity is given by

v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow v=0.2\times 6\\\Rightarrow v=1.2\ m/s

The waves are traveling at 1.2 m/s

Amplitude is given by

A=\dfrac{d}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{0.62}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=0.31\ m

Amplitude is 0.31 m

If d = 0.3 m

A=\dfrac{0.3}{2}=0.15\ m

The amplitude would be 0.15 m. The speed would remain the same.

An ideal monatomic gas at 275 K expands adiabatically and reversibly to six times its volume. What is its final temperature (in
Gwar [14]

The final temperature is 83 K.

<u>Explanation</u>:

For an adiabatic process,

T {V}^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant}

\cfrac{{T}_{2}}{{T}_{1}} = {\left( \cfrac{{V}_{1}}{{V}_{2}} \right)}^{\gamma - 1}

Given:-

{T}_{1} = 275 \; K  

{T}_{2} = T \left( \text{say} \right)

{V}_{1}  = V

{V}_{2} = 6V

\gamma = \cfrac{5}{3} \;    (the gas is monoatomic)

\therefore \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{V}{6V} \right)}^{\frac{5}{3} - 1}

 

\Rightarrow \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{1}{6} \right)}^{\frac{2}{3}}  

T  =  275 \times 0.30

T  =  83 K.

Explain why a steel block sinks but a steel ship floats
uysha [10]

Answer:

Fluids exert forces on objects because of many molecules of the fluid that continuously collide with the surfaces of the object immersed in the fluid. ... A steel boat floats on water but a steel block does not because the block has more weight than the steel boat due to the buoyant force.
