Explanation:

Iron ball sinks in water but not in mercury because of the difference in the density iron used in iron ball. The iron ball has more density than water and less than the mercury.

Hence, Iron ball sinks in water but not in mercury.

Q. No. 9 A body falls freely from the top of a tower and during the last second of its fall, it falls through 25m. Find the heig
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

45.6m

Explanation:

The equation for the position y of an object in free fall is:

y=-\frac{1}{2} gt^2+v_0t+y_0

With the given values in the question the equation has one unknown v₀:

v_0=\frac{y-y_0}{t}+\frac{1}{2}gt

Solving for t=1:

1) v_0=y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}

To find the hight of the tower you can use the concept of energy conservation:

The energy of the body 1 sec before it hits the ground:

2) E=\frac{1}{2}m{v_0}^2+mgy_0

If h is the height of the tower, the energy on top of the tower:

3) E=mgh

Combining equation 2 and 3 and solving for h:

4) h=\frac{{v_0}^2}{2g}+y_0

Combining equation 1 and 4:

h=\frac{{(y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}})^2}{2g}+y_0

A spring with a spring constant of 350 N/m pulls a door closed. How much work is done as the spring pulls the door at a constant
german

The work done to stretch the spring will be 112 J.

<h3>What is spring force?</h3>

The force required to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance is known as the spring force. Its formula is

F = kx

The given data in the problem is;

F is the spring force =?

K is the spring constant= 8.5 N/m

x is the length by which spring got stretched = 1.2m

The work is done to stretch the spring is;

\rm W= \frac{1}{2} kx^2 \\\\ W=\frac{1}{2} \times 350 \times (0.850-0.050)^2 \\\\ W=0.5 \times 350 \times (0.80)^2 \\\\W=112 \ J

As a car drives with its tires rolling freely without any slippage, the type of friction acting between the tires and the road i
Darya [45]
<span>As a car drives with its tires rolling freely without any slippage, the type of friction acting between the tires and the road is kinetic friction.

We exert force to move the object from rest and in this case, static friction works. But, when the object comes in motion, then kinetic friction works. Here, since the car is driving without slipping means, kinetic friction acts on it. Its also called sliding or dynamic friction.</span>

At what speed should a ball of mass 2 kg be rolled in order to reach the other side of
Veronika [31]

Answer:

M g H = 1/2 M v^2       potential energy = kinetic energy

v^2 = 2 g H = 2 * 9.80 * 6 = 117.6 m/s^2

v = 10.8 m/s
