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

A 4.00-m long rod is hinged at one end. The rod is initially held in the horizontal position, and then released as the free end
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The angular acceleration α = 14.7 rad/s²

Explanation:

The torque on the rod τ = Iα where I = moment of inertia of rod = mL²/12 where m =mass of rod  and L = length of rod = 4.00 m. α = angular acceleration of rod

Also, τ = Wr where W = weight of rod = mg and r = center of mass of rod = L/2.

So Iα = Wr

Substituting the value of the variables, we have

mL²α/12 = mgL/2

Simplifying by dividing through by mL, we have

mL²α/12mL = mgL/2mL

Lα/12 = g/2

multiplying both sides by 12, we have

Lα/12 × 12 = g/2 × 12

αL = 6g

α = 6g/L

α = 6 × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4.00 m

α = 58.8 m/s² ÷ 4.00 m

α = 14.7 rad/s²

So, the angular acceleration α = 14.7 rad/s²

Calculate the orbital speed (in m/s) of a satellite that circles the Earth with a time period of 12.00 hours. The mass of the Ea
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

v = 3869 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the orbital speed of the satellite is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

also we know that

time period of the revolution is given as

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

now from above equation we know that

T = \frac{2\pi (\frac{GM}{v^2})}{v}

T = \frac{2\pi GM}{v^3}

so we will have

v = (\frac{2\pi GM}{T})^{1/3}

now plug in all data in this equation

v = (\frac{2\pi (6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.97 \times 10^{24})}{12 \times 3600})^{1/3}

v = 3869 m/s

What is the force acting on a 10kg object that accelerates from 5 m/s to 20 m/s in 5s?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

v= u + at

20 = 5 + a(5)

15= a(5)

a= 3 m/s²

Force = mass × acceleration

= 10 × 3

= 30 N

Describe the acceleration of your bicycle as you ride it from your home to the store
erik [133]
<span>While you're going to the store, your acceleration changes. Some times it increases your overall speed sometimes it reduces it. Constant acceleration does not occur because it would mean that you would constantly accelerate and eventually go past the store. Even reduction of speed is a type of acceleration in physics. When you reach it, we can then calculate how much your velocity was on average and analyze how changing acceleration would've affected it.</span>
