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.

While on an ice-fishing trip, you find yourself holding a 10 kg fish but stuck in the middle of
Anna007 [38]

The forward force you exert on the fish and your backward action will allow you to reach the shore.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Fa = -Fb

Let's assume the fish is held in the hook, this will give you the opportunity to throw the fish forward while still holding it.

When the the fish is thrown forward, you will move backwards with an equal force based on Newton's third law. Your backward momentum towards the shore will help to maintain equal linear momentum between you and the fish.

Thus, this forward force of the fish and your backward action will allow you to reach the shore.

When water in clouds undergoes condensation, it can lead to?
olga_2 [115]
It will lead to rain. I know this because as the clouds move over water sources like oceans, lakes, and rivers, the water evaporates and rises. The water then liquefies into little water droplets. As the cloud moves over more water the droplets get scrunched up and get bigger over time and soon they get heavy and gravity pulls the droplets down to earth as rain. The End.

3. a) Your body is made up of several simple machines that help you move. Identify three
Alja [10]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

1) The human arm: This is a type of simple machine called "Lever". In this type of machine, the elbow acts as the fulcrum, the palm serves as the load because that's where we place the load we want to carry. While the inner part of the arm which is the inner part of the elbow represents the effort because that is the joint we mover when making use of our arms.

2) Pulleys: An example of this in the human body is the knee cap where the direction of an applied force is changed. Thus means as it is in motion, it alters the direction for which the quadriceps tendon pulls on the tibia.

3) wheel and axle: An example of this in the human body is the lateral rotation of the shoulder joint medial. The humerus which is the bone between the shoulder and elbow will act as the axle while the rotator will be the will because when it is rotated a little bit, the humerus will move along with it.

Describe the relationship between a moving object's mass and its kinetic energy.
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Explanation:

If m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object. The kinetic energy is due to the motion of an object. It is given by the relation as follows :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

The above formula is used to find the kinetic energy of an object.
