An object is floating in equilibrium on the surface of a liquid. The object is then removed and placed in another container, fil
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The fraction of its volume inside liquid  is increased .

Explanation:

According to principle pf floatation , an object floats on the surface of water

when the weight of  liquid displaced by it becomes equal to weight of the object . weight of the liquid depends upon the density of the liquid .

In the second case , when the body is dipped into liquid of lesser density , in order to balance the weight of body , more volume of liquid will be displaced so that weight of displaced liquid becomes equal to object's weight . So the body floats with greater depth inside liquid . The fraction of its volume inside liquid  is increased .

A 1,000 kg car is driving on a 15 m high bridge at 5 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the car?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

KE=12,500J

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

We can plug in the given values into the equation:

KE = \frac{1}{2}*1000kg*(5m/s)^2

KE = 500kg*25m^2/s^2

KE=12,500J

A sinusoidal transverse wave of amplitude ym = 8.4 cm and wavelength = 5.3 cm travels on a stretched cord. Find the ratio of the
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The ratio is 9.95

Solution:

As per the question:

Amplitude, y_{m} = 8.4\ cm

Wavelength, \lambda = 5.3\ cm

Now,

To calculate the ratio of the maximum particle speed to the speed of the wave:

For the maximum speed of the particle:

v_{m} = y_{m}\times \omega

where

\omega = 2\pi f = angular speed of the particle

Thus

v_{m} = 2\pi fy_{m}

Now,

The wave speed is given by:

v = f\lambda

Now,

The ratio is given by:

\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi fy_{m}}{f\lambda}

\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi \times 8.4}{5.3} = 9.95

Explain two reasons why astronomers are continually building larger and larger telescopes. Explain two reasons why astronomers a
Sergio [31]

Answer:

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* arger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies

Explanation:

Refracting telescopes get bigger every day for two main reasons.

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* the diffraction process for circular apertures is given by

               θ = 1.22 λ / D

where d is the diameter of the mirror, therefore having larger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies

Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object A falls through a distance during a time t, and object B falls th
UNO [17]

Answer:

Distance covered by B is 4 times distance covered by A

Explanation:

For an object in free fall starting from rest, the distance covered by the object in a time t is

s=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s is the distance covered

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time elapsed

In this problem:

- Object A falls through a distance s_A during a time t, so the distance covered by object A is

s_A=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

- Object B falls through a distance s_B during a time 2t, so the distance covered by object B is

s_B=\frac{1}{2}g(2t)^2 = 4(\frac{1}{2}gt^2)=4s_A

So, the distance covered by object B is 4 times the distance covered by object A.
