Answer:

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

Explanation:

This is because the only force acting on your hand as a result of the wooden block is gravitational force because no external pressure is exerted on the block.

Gravitational force is a product of mass and acceleration. It has nothing to do with the surface area of the object.

Hence, regardless of the surface of the wooden block resting on your palm, the force remains the same.

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

The normal force of weight will not differ for different positions of the block.

But the force of pressure applied to the surface of your hand is per unit area. So the side with the smallest area (3 cm x 6 cm) will exert more pressure over a smaller area.

A projectile enters a resisting medium at x = 0 with an initial velocity v0 = 910 ft/s and travels 5 in. before coming to rest.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a = - 1.987 × 10⁶ ft/s²

t = 6.84 × 10⁻⁴ s

Explanation:

v₀ = 910 ft/s

x = 5 in.

relation v = v₀ - k x

v = 0 as body comes to rest

0 = 900 - 5k/12

k = 2184 s⁻¹

acceleration

\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -k\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

where

(A) a = -k × v

 at v= 910 ft/s

     a = - 1.987 × 10⁶ ft/s²

(B)  at x = 3.9 in.

v = 910 - 3.9(2184)/12

v = 200.2 m/s

\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -k\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{dv}{v} = -kdt

\int\limits^{200.2}_{900} {\frac{1}{v} }dv = -k\int\limits^t_0 dt

ln(200.2)-ln(900) = -kt

t = 6.84 × 10⁻⁴ s

How much water is displaced by a solid object with a volume of 9 cm3 that is completely submerged in the water?
Sati [7]

Given :

An object with a volume of 9 cm³ is completely submerged in the water.

To Find :

How much water is displaced by the object.

Solution :

According to Archimedes' principle, the amount of volume displaced of fluid when an object is fully and partially submerged into that is equal to the volume of the object below the surface of liquid.

Now, it is given that object is fully submerged into water.

Therefore, volume of water displaced by the object is 9 cm³.
