Answer:

Hi, THere! :)

You, Are correct It is NO!

<h3>Density determines whether an object floats or sinks.</h3>

Explanation:

If an object is more dense than water it will sink when placed in water, and if it is less dense than water it will float.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Density determines whether an object sinks or float. if the object is less dense than the medium in which it was submerged, it will float. for example, when you pour oil in water, it floats because water is denser than oil.

What is the temperature if the peak of a blackbody spectrum is at 18-nm?
finlep [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Wein's displacement law

\lambda_{max} T = b

Where b = 2.898 x 10⁻³ m K

Given ,

\lambda{max} = 18\times10^{-9}

T = 161 X 10³ K.

A 500 kg satellite experiences a gravitational force of 3000 N, while moving in a circular orbit around the earth. Determine the
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Force F = 3,000N

Mass of  satellite m = 500 kg

Mass of earth M = 5.97 × 10²⁴

Gravitational force G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹

Find:

Speed of the satellite.

Computation:

Radius r = √[GMm / F]

Radius r = √[(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )(5.97 × 10²⁴)(500) / (3,000)

Radius r = 8.146 × 10⁶ m

Speed of the satellite V = √rF / m

Speed of the satellite V = √(8.146 × 10⁶)(3,000) / 500

Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s

A projectile is launched at an angle above the
gtnhenbr [62]
The first rule of vectors is that the horizontal and vertical components are separate. Disregarding air resistance, the only thing we have to worry about is gravity.

The appropriate suvat to use for the vertical component is v = u +at
I will take a to be -9.81, you may have to change it to be 10 if your qualification likes g to be 10.

v = 30 + (-9.81x2)
v = 30 - 19.62
=10.38m/s

Therefore we know that after 2.0 s the vertical component will be 10.38ms^-1, ie 10m/s as the answers given are all to 2sf.

The horizontal component is completely separate to the vertical component and since there is no air resistance, it will remain constant throughout the projectiles trajectory. Therefore it will remain at 40ms^-1.

Combining this together we get:
(1) vx=40m/s and vy=10m/s

Hello,help me with this out please i need it hurry but please ensure your answer is correct..I attach here with my question.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

.409 N

Explanation:

For this to balance, the moments around the fulcrum must sum to zero.

On the left you have   .21   ( is that down? I will assume it is)

      Counterclockwise moments :

        .21 * 40     +  1.0 * 20    

     Clockwise moments :

        .5 * 20     +     F * 45

these moments must equal each other

.21*40 + 1 *20   =  .5 * 20 + F * 45

   F = .409 N
