An iron nail floats in mercury and sinks in water. Explain why?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

this is because mercury is more dense than iron nail, while water is less dense than the nail.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Density

Explanation:

This is because of difference in densities of iron nail, mercury and water. Iron nail is less dense than mercury so it floats on mercury while it is more dense than water so it sinks!

Answers

Answer:

12m

Explanation:

To obtain the answer to the question given, we must observe the characteristics of image formed by a plane mirror.

The image formed by a plane mirror have the following characteristics:

1. Laterally inverted.

2. Same distance as the object from the mirror.

3. Same height as the object.

4. Virtual.

With the above information, we can calculate the distance between the boy and his image as follow:

Initially:

Object distance (u) = 4m

Image distance (v) = 4m

The boy moved 2m away, therefore:

Object distance (u) = 2 + 4 = 6m

Image distanc(v) = 2 + 4 = 6m

The distance between the boy and his image will be the sum of his distance (u) and image distance (v) i.e (u + v)

The distance between the boy and his image = 6 + 6 = 12m

Therefore, the distance between the boy and his image is 12m.

Use Newton's laws to explain why a falling object dropped from a 57m tower accelerates initially but then reaches constant velocity. Discuss the forces acting on the object

Answers

Answer:

At the point of dropping the object, by Newton's first law due to gravitational force [tex]F_g[/tex] = m × g, accelerates

By Newton's Second law the object reaches impacts on the air with the gravitational force resulting in changing momentum of m×(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)

As the velocity increases, the rate of change of momentum becomes equivalent to the gravitational force and by Newton's third law, the action action and reaction are equal and opposite hence they cancel each other out

The body then moves at a constant uniform motion down according to Newton's first law

Explanation:

At the point the object of mass, m, is dropped from the height of the tower, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force such that the object has an acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity, g, and the gravitational force is therefore = m × g

As the speed of the object increases while the object is falling with the gravitational acceleration the rate at which the object cuts through layers of air which (by Newton's first law of motion, are at rest ) has some buoyancy effect also increases therefore, the object is constantly increasingly changing the momentum of the air which by Newton's second law results, at an high enough velocity, and by Newton's third law, in a force equal to the applied gravitational force

Therefore, the force of the air drag becomes equal to the gravitational force, cancelling each other out and the object then moves according to Newton;s first law, in uniform motion of a constant speed while still falling down.

With an initial velocity of 9.8 m / sg, an object is thrown upwards from the roof of a 100 m high building. Determine maximum height from the ground, time it takes to reach the ground, and the speed with which it reaches the ground.

Answers

Answer:

104.9 m

5.63 s

45.3 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 100 m

v₀ = 9.8 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: y when v = 0 m/s

v² = v₀² + 2a (y − y₀)

(0 m/s)² = (9.8 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 100 m)

y = 104.9 m

Find: t when y = 0 m

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 m = 100 m + (9.8 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

0 = 100 + 9.8t − 4.9t²

t = [ -9.8 ± √(9.8² − 4(-4.9)(100)) ] / 2(-4.9)

t = (-9.8 ± 45.3) / -9.8

t = 5.63 s

Find: v when y = 0 m

v² = v₀² + 2a (y − y₀)

v² = (9.8 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (0 m − 100 m)

v = -45.3 m/s

|v| = 45.3 m/s

N 2000, a 20-year-old astronaut left Earth to explore the galaxy; her spaceship travels at 2.5 x 10^8 m/s. She returns in 2040. About how old will she appear to be?

Answers

Answer:

she'll be 42.3 years old

Explanation:

The year she left is 2020

she returns in 2040

the time observed to have passed by on earth is 40 years

she traveled at a speed of 2.5 x 10^8 m/s

From relativity, the astronaut will experience a time dilation and will age more slowly.

the time that is observed to pass on her ship will be gotten from

t' = [tex]t\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } } }[/tex]

where t is the time that is observed to pass by an earthly observer

v is the speed of her ship

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

v/c = 2.5/3 = 0.83  

t' = [tex]40{\sqrt{1 - 0.83^{2} } }[/tex] = 40 x 0.5578 = 22.3 years would have passed for her

This means that she'll be 20 + 22.3 = 42.3 years old

At one point in the rescue operation, breakdown vehicle A is exerting a force of 4000 N and breakdown vehicle B is exerting a force of 2000 N.(i) Using a scale of 1 cm = 500 N, make a scale drawing to show the resultant force on the truck. (ii) Use your diagram to find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force on the truck.

Answers

Answer:

1.) Magnitude = 5596 N

2.) Direction = 60 degrees

Explanation: You are given that the breakdown vehicle A is exerting a force of 4000 N at angle 45 degree to the vertical and breakdown vehicle B is exerting a force of 2000 N

Let us resolve the two forces into X and Y component

Sum of the forces in the X - component will be 4000 × cos 45 = 2828.43 N

Sum of the forces in the Y - component will be 2000 + ( 4000 × sin 45 )

= 2000 + 2828.43

= 4828.43 N

The resultant force R will be

R = sqrt ( X^2 + Y^2 )

Substitutes the forces at X component and Y component into the formula

R = sqrt ( 2828.43^2 + 4828.43^2 )

R = sqrt ( 31313752.53 )

R = 5595.87 N

The direction will be

Tan Ø = Y/X

Substitute Y and X into the formula

Tan Ø = 4828.43 / 2828.43

Tan Ø = 1.707106

Ø = tan^-1( 1.707106 )

Ø = 59.64 degree

Therefore, approximately, the magnitude and direction of the resultant force on the truck are 5596 N and 60 degree respectively.

how does gravity, inertia and friction play a role in throwing a ball

Answers

Answer:

The role of gravity, inertia and friction play different roles when a ball s thrown such as the following;

The thrown ball (which was initially at rest) is given its inertia by the force delivered to it (the ball) by the hand of the thrower of the ball

Force applied to the hand by the thrower of the ball has to have a balancing equal and opposite force (reaction force) for the person to remain in position (not skidding or falling over)

The reaction force mentioned above is transmitted from the hands through the body to the legs which rests on the ground

The leg pushes in the opposite direction in which the ball is thrown but due to combination of the gravity pull which is the weight which acts downward and the friction  resistance which acts sideways and increases proportionally with the weight of the thrower due to gravity, the reaction force in the leg is not able to overcome the frictional resistance force of the leg and the thrower remains upright while the throwing of the ball is successful

Gravity will then act on the ball to limit the distance traveled such that the ball will not wander away and could be directed at  desired target

A vehicle traveling on wet or slick roads can begin to _________ as water forms a barrier between the road and the tires and traction is lost as the wheels start to ride on top of the water and not the road surface. a) skid b) hydroplane c) lose traction d) splash water on to the engine

Answers

Answer: B.) HYDROPLANE

Explanation: The term hydroplane can be used to refer to a condition which usually occur during a downpour or on surfaces covered by water. It occurs when water forms a barrier or comes in between the frictional grip which occurs between the road surface and the car tyres. The contact between the car tyres and the road surface is supposed to give adequate frictional support which prevents the car from skidding or skidding uncontrollably on the road surface. However, when water comes invetween the surface, traction is lost and skidding results due to very low Coefficient of friction between the road and Tyre which was supposed to provide a firm grip between the tyres and the road surface.

When a vehicle is traveling on wet or slick roads, hydroplaning can occur. The correct answer is b) hydroplane.

When a vehicle is traveling on wet or slick roads, hydroplaning can occur. Hydroplaning happens when a layer of water builds up between the tires of the vehicle and the road surface, leading to a loss of traction.

This loss of traction can cause the vehicle to skid or slide, making it difficult to control. The tires ride on top of the water rather than maintaining contact with the road, resulting in reduced traction and control of the vehicle.

Therefore, When a vehicle is traveling on wet or slick roads, hydroplaning can occur. The correct answer is b) hydroplane.

9.666666º

Explanation:

In this exercise we must transform from hexadecimal units and decimal units.

For this we must take into account that in the sexagesimal system the base is 60 and in the decimal system the base is 10. This means that by taking 60 minutes we have a degree

 transform

               9º 40 ’a Aº

           

we use a direct proportion rule, where 60 minutes is equivalent to 10 decinal minutes

           40 ’[hexadecimals] = 40‘ (10/60) = 6,666 ’[decimals]

   

let's take these pleasant decimal minutes

          6.666 ’= 6.6666 (1/10) = 0.66666º

we already have all the units in degrees, we can add them

          9º + 0.666666º = 9.666666º
