Answer:

If an object pushes out an amount of water equal to its own weight, the upward force acting on it will be equal to gravity - and the object will float.

Explanation:

The buoyant force has an impact on the object in the water and equals the weight of the water displaced by the object. Every object placed in water has some buoyancy force that pushes it against the gravitational force, and this means that any object loses weight in the water.

The speed of an arrow fired from a compound

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

A.) The arrow`s range is 624,996 m

B.) The arrow`s range is 846.887 m, when the horse is galloping

Explanation:

We have a case of oblique movement. In these cases the movement in the X axis is a Uniform Rectelinear Movement (URM), and a Uniform Accelerated Movement (UAM) in the Y axis.

By the way, the equations that we use for the X axis will be from URM, and those for the Y axis wiil be from UAM.

<u>Equations</u>

X axis:

$X=v_{ox}*t$

$v_{0x} =v_0cos(\alpha)$

Y axis:

$Y= Y_0 +v_{y0} t - \frac{g}{2} t^2$

A.) First, it is necessary to know t, total time.

To figure out t value, we use UAM, since time is determined by this movement.

Now, at the end of the movement, $Y=0$ , then

$0= Y_0 +v_{y0} t - \frac{g}{2} t^2$

$0=2.4m+79m/s*sin(39)t-(1/2*9.81m/s^2)t^2$

Caculate the segcond degree equation to obtain the two possible values for t:

$t_1= 10.18 \\t_2= -0.04046$

But, in physics, time it could not be negative, so we take $t_1= 10.18$

Caculate now:

$X=79m/s*cos(\39)*10.18s= 624.996 m$

B.) Now, the narrow has an additional speed, that could be sum to the speed due to the bow.

$v_0= 79m/s+13m/s= 92m/s$

Using the same procedure that item A, caculate X

First, we need to know the new time

$0=2.4m+92m/s*sin(39)t-(1/2*9.81m/s^2)t^2$

And we obtain:

$t_1=11.845s\\t_2=-0.041s$

One more time, we take the positive time: $t_1=11.845s$

Finally:

$X=92m/s *cos(39)*11.845s=846.887 m$

Describe the motion represented by a horizontal line on a distance-time graph.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

hi, this is the answer

Explanation:

A horizontal line on a distance-time graph shows no change in distance, therefore there is no motion.

The object is stationary. ...

Constant speed is motion that occurs with the same ratio of distance to time throughout the entire length of the motion.

pls mark this as the brainliest...

ryan hypothesizes that darker colors heat up faster. he places a thermometer inside a red wool sock, a green cotton glove, and a

telo118 [61]

Light are transfer through waves in the atmosphere and yes it true that the darker the color is the more heat it could absorb thus it is also explain that the lighter the color is the less heat or light its absorb its because the light is bounces back through other form of light and it lessens the amount of heat in a substance. In Ryan's procedure the possible wrong that he done is the present of a green cotton glove. Green color are one of the color that bounces light and could not support the hypothesis of Ryan and the possible temperature he could get is not the accurate one.
