Answer:

Surface tension is the result of water molecules pulling inward with a strong attractive force. This attractive force brings the molecules on the surface of the water close together and causes the surface of the water to be drawn toward the water molecules beneath the surface. Since there are no water molecules above the surface, there are uneven forces. This causes surface tension, allowing the coin to float on the water’s surface.

a Stone is dropped into a deep well and is heard to hit the water 3.41s after being dropped. determine the depth of the well

tangare [24]

Using SUVAT

U = 0 m/s
A = g = 9.8 ms^-2
T = 3.41 s
S = ?

s = ut + 1/2at^2
s = (0)(3.41) + 1/2(9.8)(3.41^)
s = 1/2(9.8)(3.41^2)
s = 1/2(9.8)(11.6281)
s = 56.97769 m

A flat circular plate of copper has a radius of 0.262 m and a mass of 61.5 kg.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

0.031 m

Explanation:

Density of copper = ρ = 8960 kg/m³

r = Radius = 0.262 m

m = Mass of plate = 61.5 kg

v = Volume of plate = Volume of cylinder = πr²h

$\rho=\frac{m}{v}\\\Rightarrow 8940=\frac{61.5}{\pi r^2h}\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{61.5}{\pi 0.262^2\times 8940}\\\Rightarrow h=0.031\ m$

So, thickness of plate is 0.031 m

What is true about empirical and molecular formulas?

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Molecular formulas explains how many atoms of each element are in a compound, and empirical formulas explains the simplest or reduced ratio of elements in a compound. For instance, If a compound's molecular formula cannot be further reduced any more, then the empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula.

A scientist testing to see how a cat “always” lands on their feet drops a cat upside down out of a third story window at a heigh

makkiz [27]

<u>Answer: </u>

Cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Initial height of cat from ground = 20 meter.

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this the velocity of cat in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 $m/s^2$ , we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.
