ocean water contains quite a bit of NaCl . Aside from it tasting bad, why is it not a good idea to drink ocean water?

It is not a good idea to drink ocean water for it causes hypernatremia. This condition infers too much salt and less water in the body that could result to dehydration because your body would have to urinate more water to get rid of all that extra salt. The body could detect saltiness of the blood and this sends signals to the brain that the body needs more water to balance the fluids in the body. Aside from this, ocean water also contains bacteria that can make a person ill.

An 8.6 g bullet is fired into and embeds itself in a 1.48 kg block attached to a spring with a spring constant of 20.4 N/m and w
Tom [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts concerning conservation of the linear momentum as well as the equations of energy acquisition for springs.

From the definition of conservation of linear momentum we have to,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f

Where,

V_f =Final velocity

m_1 =Mass of the bullet

m_2 =Mass of the block

u_1 = Initial velocity of the bullet

u_2 = initial velocity of the block

The block does not have initial speed because it is at rest, then replacing we have to,

(8.6*10^{-3})(123)+(1.48)(0)=(8.6*10^{-3}+1.48)V_f

Re-arrange to find V_f,

V_f = \frac{(8.6*10^{-3})(123)}{(8.6*10^{-3}+1.48)}

V_f = 0.7106m/s

Now applying the energy conservation equations we have that the potential and kinetic energy of the spring must be maintained in the way

KE_i+PE_i = KE_f+PE_f

If the spring is compressed, then the velocity becomes zero. Here the kinetic energy is zero and the spring potential energy as follow,

0+\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}Mu^2+0

Re-arrange to find x,

x = v\sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}

x = 0.7106\sqrt{\frac{1.48}{20.4}}

x = 0.1913m

Therefore the spring is compressed around to 0.1913m

A 2.0cm3 air bubble is released from the sandy bottom of a warm, shallow sea, where the gauge pressure is 1.2atm . The bubble ri
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

V2 = P1×V1/P2

V2 = 4.4cm3

Explanation:

Applying Boyle's law

P1×V1 = P2×V2

V2 = P1×V1/P2

Where;

V1 = initial volume of air bubble = 2.0cm3

V2 = final volume of air bubble

P1 = initial pressure of air bubble = 1.2 + 1 atm = 2.2 atm

(Absolute pressure = guage pressure + atmospheric pressure)

P2 = final pressure of air bubble = 1 atm

V2 = 2.0× 2.2/1.0

V2 = 4.4cm3

What roles do exchange particles play in an interaction?
Vlad [161]


The exchange particles you are talking about are probably the gauge bosons. They are elementary bosons, meaning that they are elementary particles making part of the standard model and they have integer spin. There are four of them: The photon, the gluon, the W+ and W- bosons and the Z boson. The photon basically is the particle of light being an excitation, if you will, of the electromagnetic field so that is mediates the electromagnetic force. The only thing that differs from long range photons (light) is that they are what is called virtual photons but that is for another subject. Then you have the gluons that come in 8 varieties and their role is to interchange the color charge in between quarks so that it mediates the strong nuclear force, the force that keeps quarks bounded into protons. And then finally there are the W+, W- and Z bosons that mediates this time, the weak nulear force, the force that allows protons to coexist in the nucleus of atoms with neutrons. I hope that helped you, but as i usually do, i tried to simplify my answer beacause i could have written a lot mor about that!
