Answer:

Stalactites

Explanation:

these formations are created by dripping water in a cave that is rich in minerals that develop for hundreds of years. stalagmites are also known for their comedic name "cave bacon" I hope this helped!

What will occur when the waves peak at the same place at the same time?

dedylja [7]

Hello!

This is a matter of superposition.
When the waves peak at the same time and place, they produce constructive interference, meaning the waves interact together in a positive way, to make a wave with Amplitude of both waves added together. When the peaks differ however, at the same time and place, then it is destructive interference and the waves essentially cancel each other out.

Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask. Thank you kindly.

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.5 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the rid

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$u_{s}=0.56$

Explanation:

For the cat to stay in place on the merry go round without sliding the magnitude of maximum static friction must be equal to magnitude of centripetal force

$F_{s.max}=\frac{mv^2}{r} \\$

Where the r is the radius of merry-go-round and v is the tangential speed

but

$F_{s.max}=u_{s}F_{N}=u_{s}mg$

So we have

$u_{s}mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\ u_{s}=\frac{v^2}{gr}\\ Where\\v=\frac{2\pi R}{T} \\So\\u_{s}=\frac{(\frac{2\pi R}{T} )^2}{gr} \\u_{s}=\frac{4\pi^2 r}{gT^2}$

Substitute the given values

$u_{s}=\frac{4\pi^2 5.5m}{(9.8m/s^2)(6.3s)^2} \\u_{s}=0.56$

Density: Two blocks, A and B, are put in a tank of water. Block A has a density of 1.21 g/cm³. Block B has a density of 1.37 g/c

stira [4]

Answer:

Block A

Explanation:

Block A will float higher in the water compared to the second Block.

The density of water is 1g/cm³.

According to the principle of floatation "an object that floats in a liquid will displace equal amount of fluid to the weight of the object".

A body will become more submerged in water if it has more density because density is the mass per volume of body.

An object with a higher density than another will sink in the liquid of the one with lesser density.

Object A has lesser density and will float higher up and displace very little water.
Object B has higher density and will be more submerged.

An iron vat is 11 m long at room temperature (20°C). How much longer is it when it contains boiling water at 1 atm pressure?

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The change in length is 0.01056 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 11 m

Temperature = 20°C

Pressure = 1 atm

Boiling temperature = 100°C

We need to calculate the length

Using formula of change in linear expansion

$\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}=\alpha_{l}\Delta T$

$\Delta L=L\times\alpha_{l}\times(T_{f}-T_{i})$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta L=11\times12\times10^{-6}\times(100-20)$

$\Delta L=11\times12\times10^{-6}\times80$

$\Delta L=0.01056\ m$

Hence, The change in length is 0.01056 m.

Place the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength. ultraviolet light gamma rays radio wav

kvv77 [185]

Answer: gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves

Explanation: We have to explain the ordering we take into account a relationship for electromagnetic wave, which is given by:

c=λ*ν c is the speed of light. λ and ν are the wavelegth and the frequency of the waves.

Then we also know that the high frequency of these radiation correspond to the gamma ray (10^18 1/s) while the lowest correspond to radio wave (10^8 1/s) so:

The ultraviolet ligth is ranged at frequencies of 10^16 1/s located bewteen gamma and radio radiation.

as large frequency lower wavelength we can order these radiations from short to long wavelengths as follows:

gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves
