The block in the illustration is floating in water. water has a density of 1.0 g/cm 3 and about 25 percent of the block is below water. what is a good estimate of the density of the block?

The position of a dragonfly that is flying parallel to the ground is given as a function of time by r⃗ =[2.90m+(0.0900m/s2)t2]i^− (0.0150m/s3)t3j^. a: at what value of t does the velocity vector of the insect make an angle of 34.0 degree clockwise from the x-axis? b: at the time calculated in part (a), what is the magnitude of the acceleration vector of the insect? c : at the time calculated in part (a), what is the direction of the acceleration vector of the insect?

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?

True or false: the cycle of seasons on the earth is caused by the tilt of the earth on its axis toward and away from the sun.
