Explain why pumice floats and why ironwood sinks

Physics
2 answers:
almond37 [142]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A quick way of describing density is to describe an object as heavy or light for its size. Pumice stone, unlike regular rock, does not sink in water because it has a low density. An ironwood branch is very dense and sinks in water.

Hope that helps. x

Answer:

Pumice is trapped in gas when the temperature is warm, but as the temp drops, it becomes dense, due to air bubbles. Iron wood is denser than water, thus making it sink.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Motors commonly contain a "commutator" which allows a magnetic field due to a loop of wire to always be in a say "clockwise or counterclockwise" direction even tho the loop of wire is rotating.

That means that magnetic field due to the surrounding magnets is always in the same direction, but the magnetic field due to the rotating   loop of wire is continually changing so that it will always oppose the surrounding field which remains in a constant direction.

This is most easily seen in a "DC - direct current motor".

A car has an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. A net force of 2100 N is acting on the car. What is the mass of the car?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Given

acceleration (a) =1.5ms2

Force(F) =2100N

R. t. c mass (m) =?

Form

F=ma(divided by m both sides)

m=F/a

m=2100/105

m=1400kg

mass of car =1400kg

While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.95 6.95 m/s. The st
qwelly [4]

Answer:

18.1347 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-6.95^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=2.4619\ m

Total height the ball falls is 2.4619+14.3 = 16.7619 m

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 16.7619+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=18.1347\ m/s

The speed at which the stone reaches the ground is 18.1347 m/s
