When any boat displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. This is called the "principle of flotation": A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.

Answer:

when any boat displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight it floats.this is called the principle of flotation.

Explanation:

every ship, submarine and dirigible must be designed to displace a weight of water atleast equal to its own weight

A major artery with a 1.7 cm2 cross-sectional area branches into 18 smaller arteries, each with an average cross-sectional area
Alex

Answer:

0.14

Explanation:

Flow rate is the volume flowing through a point at a particular time, in calcuing flow rate we have

Q= v*t

it in terms of Area, we have Q= A*v

Where A= area

v= velocity.

Solving the question , flow rate is constant then

A*v= constant

A(i) v(i)= A(f) v(f)

Where A(i)= initial area= 1.00cm^2

A(f)= final area= 0.400cm^2

V(i) and V(f) are the initial and final velocity respectively and the ratio of the two will gives us the factor

Substitute the values into the equation we have

1 V(i)= 4 V(f)

But we were told that the cross sectional area of 1.00cm^2 branches into 18 smaller arteries.

Then

1 V(i)=0.4 V(f)*(18)

1 V(i)=7.2V(f)

Then if we find the ratio of the velocity, we will get the factor.

V(f)/V(i)= 1/7.2

V(f)/V(i)=0.14

Hence, the factor of the average velocity of the blood reduced when it passes into these branches is 0.14

The sun is 60° above the horizon. Rays from the sun strike the still surface of a pond and cast a shadow of a stick that is stuc
Kipish [7]

Answer:

shadow length 7.67 cm

Explanation:

given data:

refractive index of water is 1.33

by snell's law we have

n_{air} sin30 =n_{water} sin\theta

1*0.5 = 1.33*sin\theta

solving for\theta

sin\theta = \frac{3}{8}

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{3}{8}

\theta =  22 degree

from shadow- stick traingle

tan(90-\theta) = cot\theta = \frac{h}{s}

s = \frac{h}{cot\theta} = h tan\theta

s = 19tan22 = 7.67 cm

s = shadow length
