How can you use the density of an object to predict whether it will sink or float?

Answer:

Explanation:

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.

The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

Answer:

v = 2.974

Explanation:

Perhaps the formula should be

v = √(2*g*d (sin(θ) - uk*cos(θ) ) This is a bit easier to read.

v = √(2* 9.80*0.725(0.707 - 0.12*0.707) ) Substitute values. Find 2*g*d

v = √14.21 * (0.707 - 0.0849) Figure out Sin(θ) - uk cos(θ)

v = √14.21 * (0.6222)

v = √8.8422 Take the square root of the value

v = 2.974

A neighbor's child wants to go to a neighborhood carnival to experience the wild rides. The neighbor is worried about safety as

seraphim [82]

Answer:

No, the ride is not safe

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, it is seen that

$\sum f_{y} = 0$

$\tau cos \theta - W = 0$ ................(1)

$\sum f_{x} = 0$

$-ma + \tau sin \theta = 0$ .......(2)

$a = w^{2} r$

From the diagram, $r = Lsin \theta$

$a = w^{2} L sin \theta$

$w = \frac{2\pi }{T}$

$a = \frac{4\pi ^{2}L sin \theta }{T^{2} }$ ............(3)

Put (3) into (2)

$\tau sin \theta = \frac{4\pi ^{2}m L sin \theta }{T^{2} }$

$\tau = \frac{4\pi ^{2}m L }{T^{2} }$

w = weight of chair + weight of child = 50 + 10 = 60 lb

g = 32 ft/s²

m = w/g = 60/32 = 1.875

L = 30 ft

T = 3 secs

$\tau = \frac{4\pi ^{2}*1.875*30 }{0.3^{2} }$

$\tau = 246.74 lbs$

since 246.74 lbs > 200 lbs, it is not safe because the stationary chair will creak

Multiply the following numbers, using scientific notation and the correct amount of significant digits. 1.003 m⋅3.09 = _____ 3.0

lozanna [386]

Answer

correct answer is 3.10

Explanation:

in this question we have to multiply two numbers 1.003 and 3.09.

1.003 has 4 significant digits and 3.09 has 3 significant digits so answer must have 3 significant digits.

$1.003\times 3.09=3.09927$

$1.003\times 3.09=3.10$

Hope it will help you
