A cube of oak wood with very smooth faces normally floats in water. Suppose you submerge it completely and press one face flat a

gainst the bottom of a tank so that no water is under that face. Will the block float to the surface? Is there a buoyant force on it? Explain

Answer:

There is no Buoyant force.

The block will only float to the surface when the pressed face is released

Explanation:

There would be no Buoyancy force on the cube of Oak wood when one face is pressed flat against the Bottom of a tank and this is simply because there is no upward force acting on the side of the cube that is pressed against the bottom

Buoyant force is simply caused by the pressure difference between the water over and under an object immersed in water . hence since there is no water pressure under the immersed cube there will be no pressure difference between the water under and over the cube of oak wood immersed in the water.

How does wavelength and frequency affect the speed?
kvasek [131]
Rather, an alteration in wavelength affects the frequency in an inverse manner. A doubling of the wavelength results in a halving of the frequency; yet the wave speed is not changed.

Answer:

The acceleration at lowest point is 19.62 m/s^2

Explanation:

Conservation of energy is an concept in which it is stated that the energy of an isolated object remains the same. Energy changes from one form to another.

Lets Assume

Constant of string is K

By using the conservation of energy we will have the following equation

1/2 x 80^2 x K = m x 9.81 x 120

3200 K =  1177.2 m

K = 1177.2 m / 3200

K = 0.368 m

At the lowest point we will have

a = ( K x X - m x g ) / m

a = ( 0.368 m x 80 - m x 9.81 ) / m

a = 19.62 m / s^2

So, the acceleration at lowest point is 19.62 m/s^2

 im not sure about most of this but ill try to help

so there are three formulas you need to know first: the formula for rate distance and time.

to find distance:
distance = rate * time

to find time:
time = distance / rate

and to find rate (which is what we need)
rate = distance / time


now we just use our formula and plug in the numbers

rate = distance * time

rate = 160 / 2 = 80

so our rate is 80. thats all i know i have no idea about the rest but i always use these messurments. im sure you can google most of it to get other formulas and calculators though. sorry i couldnt help much! good luck :D

A biochemical process that liberates energy content of food for living organs
jok3333 [9.3K]
Hello! 

The <span>biochemical process that liberates energy content of food for living organs is called catabolism.

Catabolism is a process in which big molecules like those in the food we eat are broken down into small ones that can be used by the living organism to obtain energy. The energy that is liberated in this process is stored in molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). These molecules are used by cells to produce energy in the process called cellular respiration, catalyzed by the enzyme ATPase. 

Have a nice day!
