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

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the product of mass and velocity with which it is moving.

Let the mass of ball is m. A tennis player smashes a ball of mass m horizontally at a vertical wall. The ball rebounds at the same speed v with which it struck the wall.

Initial speed of the ball is v and final speed, when it rebounds, is (-v). The change in momentum is given by :

p = final momentum - initial momentum

p=-mv-mv\\\\p=-2mv

So, the magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).

You want to make a ride so you do not want to exceed 1.1g’s, if the radius of the turns are 10m, then what is the maximum speed
Citrus2011 [14]

The maximum speed is 10.4 m/s

Explanation:

For a body in uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by:

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v is the linear speed

r is the radius of the circular path

In this problem, we have the following data:

- The maximum centripetal acceleration must be

a=1.1 g

where g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity. Substituting,

a=(1.1)(9.8)=10.8 m/s^2

- The radius of the turn is

r = 10 m

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to solve for v, to find the maximum speed the ride can go at:

v=\sqrt{ar}=\sqrt{(10.8)(10)}=10.4 m/s

To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance
mart [117]

Answer:

a. 120 W

b. 28.8 N

Explanation:

To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance. Suppose a cyclist is traveling at 15 km/h on level ground. Assume he is using 480 W of metabolic power.

a. Estimate the amount of power he uses for forward motion.

b. How much force must he exert to overcome the force of air resistance?

(a) He is 25% efficient, therefore the cyclist will be expending 25% of his power to drive the bicycle forward

Power = efficiency X metabolic power

= 0.25 X 480

= 120 W

(b)

power if force times the velocity

P = Fv

convert  15 km/h to m/s

v = 15 kmph = 4.166 m/s

F = P/v

= 120/4.166

= 28.8 N

definition of terms

power is the rate at which work is done

force is that which changes a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line

velocity is the change in displacement per unit time.

What special day is when Massachusetts receives the most indirect rays of the sun?
viva [34]

In December solstice Massachusetts receives the most indirect rays of the sun. It happened on the day of 21st of December.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Winter solstice festivities bring "stillness, light, and warmth" into this period of the occasion hustle. Keeping that in mind, we give you this gathering of mysterious occasions to stamp the day of the year (this year, Friday, December 21) with the briefest time of sunlight and the longest night of year. Also, obviously, to respect the arrival of the sun and the more extended days to come.
