On a hot summer day several swimmers decide to jump into a river. They step off the bridge and strike the water at 1.5s later. I

gnore air resistance. What is the height of the bridge?
I did it but I don’t know if it’s right

That is right because base*length is how you get the height

"2.40 A pressure of 4 × 106N/m2 is applied to a body of water that initially filled a 4300 cm3 volume. Estimate its volume after

wel

Answer:Final volume after pressure is applied=4,292cm3

Explanation:

Using the bulk modulus formulae

We have that The bulk modulus of waTer is given as

K =-V dP/dV

Where K, the bulk modulus of water = 2.15 x 10^9N/m^2

2.15 x 10^9N/m^2= - 4,300 x 4 × 106N/m2 / dV

dV = - 4,300 x 4 × 10^6N/m^2/ 2.15 x 10^9N/m^2

dV (change in volume)= -8.000cm^3

Final volume after pressure is applied,

V= V+ dV

V= 4300cm3 + (-8.000cm3)

=4300cm3 - 8.000cm3

Final Volume, V =4,292cm3

During which phase of the moon do neap tides occur?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

First Quarter and Third Quarter.

Explanation:

Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the Moon across to the Earth sphere.

Since gravity variates with the distance:

$F = G\frac{m1\cdot m2}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance between them.

For example, seeing the image below, point A is closer to the Moon than point b, and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the Moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.

When the Sun and the Moon are alight with respect to the Earth, then the Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the Moon over the Earth. That makes the high tides even higher (spring tides).

However, when the Sun is not in the same line than the Moon (the Moon is at 90° with respect to the Sun), then the low tides are higher and the high tides are lower. That scenario is known as neap tides.

Therefore, that happens when the Moon is at First Quarter and Third Quarter.

A plate drops onto a smooth floor and shatters into three pieces of equal mass.Two of the pieces go off with equal speeds v at r

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Speed of the this part is given as

$v_3 = \sqrt2 v$

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

Explanation:

As we know by the momentum conservation of the system

we will have

$P_1 + P_2 + P_3 = P_i$

here we know that

$P_1 = P_2$

the momentum of two parts are equal in magnitude but perpendicular to each other

so we will have

$P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt{P^2 + P^2}$

$P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt2 mv$

now from above equation we have

$P_3 = -(P_1 + P_2)$

$mv_3 = -(\sqrt 2 mv)$

$v_3 = \sqrt2 v$

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

Why are the parts of an atom that electrons occupy called electron clouds?

Anna [14]

Because it's literally impossible to tell exactly where something that size is
located at any particular time.

And that's NOT because it's so small that we can't see it. It's because any
material object behaves as if it's made of waves, and the smaller the object is,
the more the size of its waves get to be like the same size as the object.
When you get down to things the size of subatomic particles, it doesn't make
sense any more to try and talk about where the particle actually "is", and we only
talk about the waves that define it, and how the waves all combine to become a
cloud of <em><u>probability</u></em> of where the particle is.

I know it sounds weird. But that's the way it is. Sorry.

Explain the following observations:

Deffense [45]

Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.
