Answer:

the tension T2 when the rock is completely immersed is T2 =  29.05 N

Explanation:

from Newton's second law

F= m*a

where F= force , m= mass , a= acceleration

when the rock is suspended ,a=0 since it is at rest. Then

T1 - m*g = 0 , T1= tension when suspended in air , g= gravity

assuming constant density of the rock

m= ρ rock *V , where  ρ rock = density of the rock , V= volume

thus

T1= m*g = ρ rock *g*V

V=  T1/(ρ rock *g)

when the rock is submerged in oil , it receives an upward force that equals the weight of the volume of displaced oil (V displaced). Since it is completely submerged the volume displaced is the volume of the rock V=Vdisplaced  

When the rock is at rest , then

F= m*a=0

T2 + ρ oil *g*V displaced - ρ rock *g*V  =0

T2 = ρ rock *g*V - ρ oil *g*V = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil) = T1/(ρ rock *g) *g * (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = T1 * (ρ rock - ρ oil)/ρ rock

replacing values

T2 = 48 N * (1900 kg/m3- 750 kg/m3)/ 1900 kg/m3 = 29.05 N

T2 =  29.05 N

Answer:

No. Your friend will not hear the clap when he/she sees it.

Explanation:

It takes time for sound waves to go through a large area. It takes longer if people are in the area rather than it is empty.

A sailboat moves north for a distance of 10.00 km when blown by a wind from the exact south with a force of 5.00 x 10^4 n. how m
Nataliya [291]
Work is defined as the force times the distance which is mathematically expressed W = Fxd. The given force is 5x10^4 and the distance is 10000 m (the distance is converted as meter because Nm = J) the work done by the wind is W = 5x10^4 N (10000) = 500 x 10^6 Joules.

A bald eagle is flying to the left with a speed of 34 meters
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the speed after 3 seconds is 10 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the speed is shown below:

As we know that

V = U  + at

Here,

U = 34 m/s

a =  - 8 m/s²

t = 3 Sec

V = velocity after 3 sec

V  = 34 + (-8)3

 = 34 - 24

 V = 10 m/s

Hence, the speed after 3 seconds is 10 m/s

5. How are humans affecting global climate change?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Due to the generation of carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Climate change occurs due to global warming generated by greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide is the gas that does not leave or allow solar radiation from the sun to rise from the Earth's surface, increasing the average temperature of the planet.

Burning fossil fuels for energy generation such as coal is another source of carbon dioxide generation. The generation of energy should be directed towards the production of renewable energies, using sources such as solar and wind energy.
