A child has a bucket full of toys: foam alphabet letters, action figures, and toy cars.

2 answers:

the answer is density because the foam letters are denser meaning they will float to the surface quicker than the other toys

Answer: B. Density

Explanation:

Density is the comparison between the amount of matter contained by an object and its volume.

Mathematically, density is defined as; d = m/v

Where d is density

m is mass

and v is volume.

Dumping the toys in the bathwater is taking advantage of density because foam is generally less dense than water and anything less dense than water will float in water.

So, there will be a separation based on density because the foam alphabet letters will float while the other toys will sink due to the fact that they are denser and heavier than water and their molecules are compact; very close together.

A teacher sets up a stand carrying a convex lens of focal length 15 cm at 20.5 cm mark on the optical bench. She asks the studen

Brums [2.3K]

We get the clearest image if there is no magnification. When we have no magnification the image and real object have the same size.
If we look at the diagram that I attached we can see that:
$\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i}{d_0}$
Two triangles that I marked are similar and from this we get:
$\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i-f}{f}$
The image and the object must have the same height so we get:
$\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i-f}{f};h_i=h_0\\
1=\frac{d_i-f}{f}\\
d_i=2f$
This tells how far the screen should be from the lens.
The position of the screen on the optical bench is:
$S=20.5cm+2f=20.5+2\cdot 15cm=50.5cm$

A 1700kg rhino charges at a speed of 50.0km/h. what is the magnitude of the average force needed to bring the rhino to a stop in

stepladder [879]

Impulse equals Change in Momentum
F = average applied force = to be determined
Δt = time during which the force is applied = 0.50 s
m = mass = 1,700 kg
Δp = change in momentum = to be determined
Δv = change in velocity = to be determined
v1 = initial velocity = 50.0 km/h = 50,000 m/h = 13.9 m/s
v2 = final velocity = 0.00 km/h = 0.00 m/s

F∙Δt = Δp
F∙Δt = m∙Δv
F∙Δt = m∙(v2 - v1)

F = m∙(v2 - v1) / Δt
F = 1,700 kg∙(0.00 m/s - 13.9 m/s) / 0.50 s
<span>F = -47,222 N The negative sign means that the force vector is </span>

Consider an alcohol and a mercury thermometer that read exactly 0 oC at the ice point and 100 oC at the steam point. The distanc

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

No, both the thermometers will give the different reading.

Explanation:

Given,

Both thermometer has same ice point = $T_i\ =\ 0^o C$
Both thermometer has same steam point = $T_s\ =\ 100^o C$

Distance between the ice point and steam point in both the thermometer is same of 100 division,

All the data given in both the thermometers are same, but the material in the thermometer is different due to this the reading at 60^o C will differ in both the thermometer. Because the reading on both the thermometer is depended upon the thermal expansion of the material inside it, but both the materials are different. Due to this the rise of fluid in the thermometer, i,e,. the volume of the fluid material in the thermometer will depend upon the thermal expansion. Hence both the material alcohol and mercury have the different thermal expansion, therefore the rise of the fluid in the thermometer also differ in both the thermometer.

topjm [15]

Explanation:

This question involves continuous displacement in various directions. When it becomes difficult to imagine, vector analysis becomes handy.

Let us denote each of the individual displacements by a vector. Consider the unit vectors $\vec{i}\textrm{ and }\vec{j}$ as the unit vectors in the direction of East and North respectively.

By simple calculations, we can derive the unit vectors $\vec{j},\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2}\textrm{ and }\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2}$ in the directions North, $45^{o}$ South of West and $60^{o}$ North of West respectively.

So Total displacement vector = Sum of individual displacement vectors.

Displacement vector = $4(\vec{j})+6(\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2})+5(\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2})=-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}$

Magnitude of Displacement = $|-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}|=5.3km$

∴ Total displacement = $5.3km$
