Why does your boat float but not your ring?

Physics
1 answer:
Damm [24]3 years ago
5 0

The air that is inside a ship is much less dense than water. That's what keeps it floating! ... The closer the total density of the ship is to the density of the same volume of water, the greater the amount of the ship that will be in the water.

As a moon follows its orbit around a planet, the maximum gravitational force exerted on the moon by the planet exceeds the minim
professor190 [17]

Answer:

rmax/rmin = √1.127

Explanation:

F = GmM / r²

As the masses can be assumed to be constant, the force between the two is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance between them

(Fmax - Fmin) / Fmin = 0.127

           (Fmax - Fmin) = 0.127Fmin

       1/rmin² - 1/rmax² = 0.127(1/rmax²)

                      1/rmin² = 0.127(1/rmax²) + 1/rmax²

                      1/rmin² = 1.127(1/rmax²)

              rmax²/rmin² = 1.127

                 rmax/rmin = √1.127 ≈ 1.06160256...

What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction when light passes from a medium where its sp
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

This is because the speed of a wave is determined by the medium through which it is passing. When light speeds up as it passes from one material to another, the angle of refraction is bigger than the angle of incidence. For example, this happens when light passes from water to air or from glass to water ❤

Questions Two cyclists, 42 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 2 times as fast as the other. If they meet 2 hours later, what is the speed (in mi/h) of the faster cyclist?

<u><em>Start of Answer:</em></u>

-- When they started, they were 42 miles apart.  When they met, 2 hours later, they were no miles apart.  The distance between them shrank at the rate of 21 miles per hour.  Since they rode directly toward each other, the sum of their individual speeds must have been 21 miles per hour.

-- One biker was two times the speed of the other.  Slower biker: 1 time.  Faster biker: 2 times.  Sum of their speeds:  3 times = 21 miles per hour.  Each 'time' = 7 miles per hour.

-- Slower cycler = 1 time = 7 mi/hr

<em>Faster cycler = 2 times = 14 mi/hr</em>

A satellite orbits at a distance from the Earth's center of about 2.60 Earth radii and takes 5.89 hours to go around once. What
Elenna [48]

Answer:

424088766.068 m

Explanation:

Radius of the circular orbit that the satellite is 2.6 Earth radii (r) = 2.6 R

R = Radius of earth = 6371000 m (mean radius)

In order to find the distance that the satellite travels in 5.89 hours to complete one complete revolution is the circumference of the circular orbit

Circumference of a circle = 2×π×r

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6 R

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6×6371000

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 104078451.3393m

Distance travelled in 1 hour = 104078451.3393/5.89 = 17670365.252 m

∴ Distance travelled in 24 hours = 17670365.252×24 = 424088766.068 m
