Answer:

58.9 N

Explanation:

The wood is buoyed up by the mass of the water is displaces

  wood volume = .030 m^3 = 30 000 cm^3

   mass of water displaced = 30 000 g = 30  kg

wood mass =   800 kg/m^3  * .030 m^3 = 24 kg

so tension in string    = mg   = (   30 kg - 24 kg) * 9.81 m/s^2 = 58.9 N

Physicists often measure the momentum of subatomic particles moving near the speed of light in units of MeV/c, where c is the sp
maxonik [38]

Answer:

kg m/s

Explanation:

e = Charge = C

V = Voltage = \dfrac{N}{C}m

c = Speed of light = m/s

Momentum is given by

\dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{e\times V}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{C\times \dfrac{N}{C}\times m}{m/s}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=Ns\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\times \dfrac{m}{s}\times s\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\cdot m/s

The unit of MeV/c in SI fundamental units is kg m/s

The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 . A beam of white light in
Sonja [21]

Answer:

10.16 degrees

Explanation:

Apply Snells Law for both wavelenghts

\(n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}\)

For red

(1.620)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin r)

For red, the angle is 35.45degrees

For violet

(1.660)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin v)

For violet, the angle is 45.6 degrees

The difference is 45.6- 35.45 = 10.16 degrees

You throw a baseball (mass 0.145 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 12.0 m/s. Air resistance can be neglected.
Andru [333]

Answer:

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of height and velocity of the ball are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity of the ball at time t.

Placing the origin at the throwing point, y0 = 0.

Let´s use the equation of velocity to obtain the time at which the velocity is 12.0 m/s / 2 = 6.00 m/s.

v = v0 + g · t

6.00 m/s = 12.0 m/s -9.81 m/s² · t

(6.00 - 12.0)m/s / -9.81 m/s² = t

t = 0.612 s

Now, let´s calculate the height of the baseball at that time:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²     (y0 = 0)

y = 12.0 m/s · 0.612 s - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (0.612 s)²

y = 5.51 m

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Have a nice day!
