An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in

a lunar module parked on the Moon where the gravitation force is 1/6 that of Earth, the ice in the same soft drink would float:A) with more than 9/10 submerged. B) with 9/10 submerged.C) with 6/10 submerged.D) totally submerged.

Answer:

B) with 9/10 submerged

Explanation:

m = mass of ice cube

\rho = density of soft drink

V = Volume of soft drink displaced

ice cube floats in the soft drink when the force of buoyancy on it balances its weight. Force of buoyancy acting on the cube in upward direction is same as the weight of the soft drink displaced. hence we can write

weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

mg = \rho V g

m = \rho V

we see that the acceleration due to gravity cancel out both side and hence it does affect as astronaut is on earth on in a lunar module.

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of ice block submerged om earth = 9 / 10

According to the floating principle

The weight of the body is balanced by the buoyant force acting on the block.

Let V be the total volume of the block and d be the density of ice and ρ be the density of soft drink.

So, V x d x g = 9 / 10 V x ρ x g

So g cancels out from both the sides.

If we place the ice cube in soft drink on the surface of moon, then the volume submerged remains same.

You pull a wagon with a force of 20 N. The wagon has a mass of 10 kg. What is the wagon's acceleration?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

where

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 20 N

m = 10 kg

We have

a =  \frac{20}{10}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the average speed of an object that travels 400 meters in 80 seconds?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

<h2>5 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The average speed of the object can be found by using the formula

v =  \frac{d}{t}  \\

d is the distance

t is the time taken

From the question we have

v =  \frac{400}{80}  =  \frac{40}{8}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>5 m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

Astronomers have observed a small, massive object at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. A ring of material orbits this massive
vazorg [7]

Answer: Yes, it can be a single, ordinary star.

Explanation: To determine a mass of a star, we use the orbital speed formula, given by: v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R} }, where

v is the speed;

G is a constant: G = 6.67*10^{-11}\frac{m^{3} }{kg.s^{2} }

M is mass of a massive object;

R is the distance between the object orbiting and the massive object;

The formula can be rewritten as:

M = \frac{v^{2}.R }{G}

First, we change R from light years to km:

1km=1.057*10^{-13}

R= \frac{15}{2*1.057.10^{-13} }

Calculating mass:

M = \frac{2^{2}*10^{4}*14.2*10^{13} }{6.67*10^{-11} }

M = 4.25*10^{28} kg

A solar mass is the standard unit of mass. It is approximately 2*10^{30}Kg and can be used for comparison: A single star cannot be more than 50 solar masses.

50 solar masses = 50*2*10^{30} = 10^{32} kg

Comparing the mass of the object with this parameter, we have

\frac{10^{32} }{4.25.10^{28} } = 0.235.10^{4} = 2.35.10^{3}

From this, we know that 50 solar masses is greater than the small, massive object found. So, this object can be a single, ordinary star.
