Downward force acting on the ball is 19.6N

Net force acting on the ball is 1960V N

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

Given:

Mass of the ball, m = 2kg

Density of ball, σ = 800 kg/m³

Density of water, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

Downward force acting by the ball in the vessel = mg

where, g = 9.8m/s²

F = 2 X 9.8

F = 19.6N

Net force acting on the ball:

Fnet = (ρ - σ) Vg

where,

V is the volume of water

Fnet = (1000 - 800) V X 9.8

Fnet = 1960V N

If the volume is known, then substitute the value of V to find the net force.

Thus, Downward force acting on the ball is 19.6N

Net force acting on the ball is 1960V N

The density of a hippo is approximately 1030kg/m^3,so it sinks to the bottom of the freshwater lakes and rivers. A 1500kg hippo

hram777 [196]

Answer:

14,700 N

Explanation:

The hyppo is standing completely submerged on the bottom of the lake. Since it is still, it means that the net force acting on it is zero: so, the weight of the hyppo (W), pushing downward, is balanced by the upward normal force, N:

$W-N=0$ (1)

the weight of the hyppo is

$W=mg=(1500 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=14,700 N$

where m is the hyppo's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration; therefore, solving eq.(1) for N, we find

$N=W=14,700 N$

Calculate the acceleration of a 1000 kg car if the motor provides a small thrust of 1000 N and the static and dynamic friction c

grin007 [14]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Force applied by the motor, $F_A=1000\ N$

The static and dynamic friction coefficient is, $\mu=0.5$

Let a is the acceleration of the car. Since, the car is in motion, the coefficient of sliding friction can be used. At equilibrium,

$F_A-\mu mg=ma$

$\dfrac{F_A-\mu mg}{m}=a$

$a=\dfrac{1000-0.5(1000)(9.81)}{1000}$

$a=-3.905\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $-3.905\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
