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.

A jewellery shop owner has two identical clear gemstones but cannot remember which one is diamond and which one is rutile. Rutil
pantera1 [17]

We know

\boxed{\sf n_{21}=\dfrac{C}{V}}

How he find:-

The owner will measure speed of light through the index(Diamond or rutile).Then using calculations he fill find which is the velocity of diamond or rutile

<h3> For diamond</h3>

\\ \sf\longmapsto n_D=\dfrac{C}{V_D}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2.4=\dfrac{3\times 10^8ms^{-1}}{V_D}

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_D=\dfrac{3\times 10^8ms^{-1}}{2.4}

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_D=1.25\times 10^8ms^{-1}

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_D=125\times 10^6ms^{-1}

<h3>For rutile</h3>

\\ \sf\longmapsto n_R=\dfrac{C}{V_R}

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_R=\dfrac{C}{n_R}

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_R=\dfrac{3\times 10^8ms^{-1}}{2.9}

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_R=1.03\times 10^8

\\ \sf\longmapsto V_R=103\times 10^6ms^{-1}

When a boy jumps into a pool ​
melomori [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

energy only

<u>Explanation:</u>

Water waves transfer energy via oscillations of the water molecules, but the the water molecules themselves do not move along the wave.

This is why when the boy jumps into the water, his kinetic energy is transferred by the water molecules across the pool, but neither the boy nor the water particles move along with the wave.

The following acceleration vs time plots show
fenix001 [56]

The data set that is most likely from the car equipped with ABS is :

  • The First ( upper ) plot

<u><em>Although the plots related to your question is missing attached below is the missing data.  </em></u>

The First plot ( acceleration vs time ) plot is the data that represents the application of brakes in a car fitted with ABS ( antilock braking system ) because of the absence of skidding effect between 6.5 and 9 seconds in the graph.

The skidding effect is present in the second plot around the same time because the car is not fitted with ABS  

Hence we can conclude that the graph that shows the car fitted with ABS is the first plot .

What is the direction of the magnetic field b⃗ a at point a?
pogonyaev

Answer: Use the Right -hand Rule to find the direction of the magnetic field.

Explanation: A magnetic force only occur, in a magnetic field, when a particle is moving perpendicularly relative to the magnetic field. So, all three quantities are perpendicular among themselves.

The Right-Hand Rule apply for the positive charges moving in conventional current. If the moving charge is negative, the velocity must be reversed.

Right-Hand Rule determines the direction of any or all of the three and it is as follows: With you right hand, point your index finger in the direction of the velocity, your middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field and your thumb will be pointing in the direction of the magnetic force.

Another way of using the rule is when there is a current carrying wire:

The fingers of your right hand will curl into a half circle around the wire, they will point in the direction of the field. The thumb will point in the direction of the conventional current.
