Explain why pumice floats and why ironwood sinks

Physics
2 answers:

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.

The energy delivered to the resistive coil is dissipated as heat at a rate equal to the power input of the circuit. However, not
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

P(bat) = V²r/(R+r)²

Explanation:

Let the resistance of the coil be R

Internal resistance of the battery be r

Emf of the battery = V

Power dissipated in the internal resistance of the battery is normally given as P = I²r

where I is the current flowing in the circuit.

From Ohm's law,

V = I R(eq)

R(eq) = (R + r)

I = V/(R+r)

P = I²r

P = [V/(R+r)]²r

P = V²r/(R+r)²

Hope this Helps!!!

if heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object it has been transferred by what ?
Katarina [22]

When heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object , it is known as heat transfer by conduction.

In conduction, the heat transfer takes place within an object or between two objects in contact until the temperature becomes uniform. this kind of heat transfer continues until the temperature at two ends between which the heat transfer take place , becomes equal.  Heat transfer takes place from point at high temperature to point at lower temperature.
