Answer:

Disagree

Explanation:

Concept of sink and float depends on the condition of water displaced by the objects

As we know that object will float when the weight of the object is less than the buoyancy force on it.

Also we can say that buoyancy force is the net upthrust applied by the water on the object.

This upthrust is equal to the weight of water that is displaced by the object.

So if heavy object displace more amount of water so that the weight of displaced water is more than the weight of the object then it must float on the water.

so this is not true that all heavy objects sink in water.

Disagree because its not about how heavy the object is and you don't know exactly how heavy, heavy is and the weight doesn't matter, its density that matters

A war wolf is a device used during the middle ages to assault fortifications with large rocks. A simple trebuchet is constructed

Katarina [22]

Answer:v=41.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of heavy object $m_1=52 kg$

distance of $m_1$ from the axle $r_1=14 cm$

mass of rock $m_2=123 gm$

Length of rod $=4.1 m$

distance of $m_2$ from axle $r_2=4.1-0.14=3.96 m$

Net torque acting is

$T_{net}=m_1gr_1-m_2gr_2$

$T_{net}=52\times 0.14\times g-0.123\times 3.96\times g$

$T_{net}=6.793\times 9.8$

$T_{net}=66.57 N-m$

Work done by $T_{net}$ is converted to rock kinetic Energy

thus

$T_{net}\times \theta =\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Where $\theta =angle\ turned =\frac{\pi }{2}$

$v= velocity\ at\ launch$

$66.57\times \frac{\pi }{2}=\frac{0.123\times v^2}{2}$

$v^2=66.57\times \pi$

$v=\sqrt{1700.511}$

$v=41.23 m/s$

Julie drives 100 mi to Grandmother's house. On the way to Grandmother's, Julie drives half the distance at 30.0 mph and half the

salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance to grandmother's house=100 mi

it is given that during return trip Julie spend equal time driving with speed 30 mph and 70 mph

Let Julie travel x mi with 30 mph and 100-x with 70 mph

$\frac{x}{30}=\frac{100-x}{70}$

x=30 mi

Therefore

Julie's Average speed on the way to Grandmother's house $=\frac{100}{\frac{50}{30}+\frac{50}{70}}$

=42 mph

On return trip

$=\frac{100}{2\frac{30}{30}}=50 mph$

A simple pendulum is made by tying a 2.44 kg stone to a string 4.57 m long. The stone is projected perpendicularly to the string

alexdok [17]

Answer:

$v_{max}=8.2226m/s$

Explanation:

The problem is solved using the law of conservation of energy,

So

$mgL(1-cos\theta)+\frac{1}{2}mv^2_0=\frac{1}{2}mv^2_{max}$

$v_{max}=\sqrt{2gL(1-cos\theta)+v^2_0}$

$v_{max}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(4.57)(1-cos(69.4))+8^2}$

$v_{max}=8.2226m/s$

Why is the top of a wave called a crest

Molodets [167]

Answer: A crest is the highest point the medium rises to and a trough is the lowest point the medium sinks to. It is also a point on the wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum.
