A scuba tank, when fully submerged, displaces 15.7 l of seawater. the tank itself has a mass of 13.7 kg and, when "full," contai

ns 3.00 kg of air. the density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3. assume that only its weight and the buoyant force act on the tank.

The problem is asking for the buoyant force.
The first step is to know the weights of the tank and air. Tank = 13.7 * 9.8 = 134.26 N Air = 3 * 9.8 = 29.4 N Total weight of the tank and air is 163.66 N 
To know the buoyant force, we must convert 15.7 liters to cubic meters. 
1 liter = 1000 ml = 1000 cm^3 1 m = 100 cm 1 m^3= 1,000,000 cm^3 One liter = 1000 divided by 1,000,000 = 0.001 m^3 V = 15 * 0.001 = 0.015 m^3 
Then compute for the buoyant force:Buoyant force = 0.015 * 1025 * 9.8 = 150.675 N

An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km

Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km

Explanation:

If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be v_{AT}=v_A-v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed</em>), where v_A is the speed of the automobile and v_T the speed of the train.

So we have v_{AT}=(95km/h)-(75Km/h)=20Km/h.

So the train (<em>anyone in fact</em>) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{20Km/h} = 0.065h=234s

And in that time the car would have traveled (<em>relative to the ground</em>):

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.065h)=6.175Km

If they are traveling in opposite directions, <u>we have to do all the same</u> but using v_{AT}=v_A+v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed</em>), so repeating the process:

v_{AT}=(95km/h)+(75Km/h)=170Km/h

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{170Km/h} = 0.00765h=27.53s

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.00765h)=0.73Km

A student hangs a weight on a newtonmeter. The energy currently stored in the spring in the newton meter is 0.045N. The student
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

5x10^-3

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that the force needed to compress or extend a spring is directly proportional to the distance you stretch it.

Hooke's Law can be represented as

<h3> F = kx, </h3>

<em>where F is the force </em>

<em>            k is the spring constant</em>

<em>            x is the extension of the material </em>

<em />

Plug values in the equation

Step 1 find the original extension

0.045 = (400)x

x = 1.125x 10^-4 m d

Step 2 find the new extension

0.045+2 = 400(x)

2.045 = 400x

x = 5.1125x10^-3

Step 3 subtract the new extension with original

Total extension of the spring =  5.1125x10^-3 - 1.125x 10^-4 m = 5x10^-3

Small cubes that are 10 cm on a side and larger ones that are 12 cm on a side are submerged in water. Cubes A and B are made of
Digiron [165]

Answer

given,

given,

small cube side = 10 cm

larger cube side = 12 cm

density of steel = 7 g/cm³

density of aluminium = 2.7 g/cm³

density of the water (ρ₁)= 1 g/cm³

Cube A and B made of steel

buoyant force of Cube A

 B₁ = ρ₁ V g = 1 x 10 x 10 x 10 x g=  1000 g

for cube B

 B₂ = ρ₁ V g = 1 x 12 x 12 x 12 x g=  1728 g

buoyant force of Cube C

 B₃ = ρ₁ V g = 1 x 10 x 10 x 10 x g=  1000 g

for cube D

 B₄ = ρ₁ V g = 1 x 12 x 12 x 12 x g=  1728 g

buoyant force acting on the cube depends on the density of the fluid

hence,

B₂ = B₄  > B₁ = B₃

The most precise measurement of the speed of light in vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which of the following values would you use to
Luda [366]

Answer:

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of light in vacuum = 299,792,458 m/s

speed of light in scientific notation to three significant figures

v = 2.99792458  x  10⁸ m/s

by rounding off the speed to three significant figure.

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

On the fourth place the value is greater than 5 so, on the third place 1 will be added.

now, the speed with three significant figure comes out to be

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s
