A buoy is a floating device that can have many purposes, but often as a locator for ships. Collin constructs a hollow metal buoy

by welding together two identical cones of height h and diameter d. The resulting double-cone buoy has average density equal to half the density of seawater meaning that its total mass divided by total volume is half the density of seawater. Throughout this problem, you can ignore the air above the sea’s surface.1. When the buoy is at rest in a calm ocean, with its axis of symmetry perpendicular to the water’s surface, what fraction of it will be submerged?2. If the buoy is at rest at time t = 0 and is then pushed down slightly into the water and let go, what will be its angular frequency ω of small oscillations in terms of the given variables? Note: the volume of a cone of height h and base area A is hA/3.3. What should be the height h of each cone in the buoy so that the buoy will execute one oscillation period every second and therefore be usable as a clock with one-second accuracy?

Answer:

A) since the density of the buoy is half the density of sea water when the buoy is at rest on an ocean half of the buoy will be submerged in water

B )angular frequency ( w ) = \sqrt{\frac{3g}{h} }

c )  h = 1.34 m ( 4\pi ^{2} / 3g )

Explanation:

A) since the density of the buoy is half the density of sea water when the buoy is at rest on an ocean half of the buoy will be submerged in water this is because the substances with lesser density floats when placed in a substance with a higher density

B ) when the Buoy is at rest ( t = 0 ) and is then pushed down calculate angular frequency ( w ) of small oscillations in terms of the given variables

volume of cone = hA /3.

h = height of cone, A = Base Area.

therefore the total volume of the Buoy above water level ( at rest )

= (\pi r^{2} * \frac{h}{3} ) * 2 = \frac{\pi r^{2} h  }{6}

The  part of the buoy immersed in water = x

then the net upward force will be

fb ( force of Buoy ) =  fg ( force of gravity )

note force = Mass * Acceleration

force of buoy = \frac{\alpha }{2} *\frac{\pi r^{2}  }{h}* a = ( force of gravity ) \alpha * T\frac{r^{2} }{4} * x * g

therefore a = \frac{3g}{h}  * x

angular frequency ( w ) = \sqrt{\frac{3g}{h} }

C ) height of the each cone

\frac{2\pi }{w}  = 1 therefore w = 2\pi

back to the angular frequency : \frac{3g}{h} = 4\pi ^{2}

therefore h = 1.34 m ( 4\pi ^{2} / 3g )

A baseball player friend of yours wants to determine his pitching speed. you have him stand on a ledge and throw the ball horizo
zhenek [66]

Answer:

The pitching speed of your friend is 33.20 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

Your friend throw the ball horizontally that means the vertical initial

component of velocity is zero (u_{y}=0).

The ball is thrown from a height 4 meters above the ground.

The height h=u_{y}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

<u><em>Remember:</em></u> the height is negative value because its below the point of

thrown (initial position)

h = -4 m , u_{y}=0 and g = -9.8 m/s²(downward)

<em>Substitute these values in the rule above</em>

⇒ 4=0-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}

⇒ -4 = -4.9t² (multiply both sides by -1)

⇒ 4 = 4.9t² (divide both sides by 4.9)

⇒ 0.81633 = t² (take √ for both sides)

⇒ <em>t = 0.9035</em>

Then the time of the ball to land on the ground is 0.9035 seconds

The range of the ball on the ground is 30 m

The range R=u_{x}*t, where u_{x} is the horizontal

component of the initial velocity

R = 30 meters and t = 0.9035

⇒ 30=u_{x}(0.9035) (divide both sides by 0.9035)

⇒ u_{x}=33.20 m/s

<em>The pitching speed of your friend is 33.20 m/s </em>

you know that there are 1609 meter in a mile. the number of feet in a mile is 5280. what is the speed snail from problem 7 per m
Zanzabum

Answer:

We know that 1 meter = 100 centimeters, and 1 foot = 12 inches.

So  (1,609 meters) x (100 centimeters/meter)  =  (5,280 feet) x (12 inches/foot)

The second fraction on each side of the equation is equal to ' 1 ', because

the numerator is equal to the denominator, so sticking it in there doesn't

change the value of that side of the equation.  But now we can cancel some

units,and wind up with the units we need.

  (1,609 meters) x (100 centimeters/meter)  =  (5,280 feet) x (12 inches/foot)

        (1,609 x100) centimeters  =  (5,280 x 12) inches

            160,900 centimeters  =  63,360 inches

Divide each side by  63,360 :        2.54 centimeters =  1 inch
