A barge floating in fresh water (rho = 1000 kg/m3) is shaped like a hollow rectangular prism with base area A = 550 m2 and heigh

t H = 2.0 m. When empty the bottom of the barge is located H0 = 0.45 m below the surface of the water. When fully loaded with coal the bottom of the barge is located H1 = 1.4 m below the surface.a) Write an equation for the buoyant force on the empty barge in terms of the known data.b) Determine the mass of the barge in kilograms.c) Find the mass of the coal in terms of the given data.d) Find the mass of the coal in kilograms.e) How far would the barge be submerged (in meters) if mc,2 = 250000 kg of coal had been placed in the empty barge?

A) Millions of years of rain and wind
barxatty [35]

Answer:

B. Millions of years of high pressure and temperature.

  • Millions of years of high pressure and temperature the ancient forests turn into fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels were formed from the dead remains of living organisms millions of years ago. They were formed under high pressure and high temperature.

  • Coal : about 300 million years ago the earth had this forest in low lying wetland areas. Due to natural processes like flooding, these forest god buried under the soil. As more soil deposited over them, they were compressed. Under high pressure and high temperature, dead plants got slowly converted into coal.
  • Petroleum : Petroleum was formed from organisms living in the sea. As these organisms died, their bodies settled at the bottom of the sea and got covered with layers of soil and clay. Over millions of years, absence of air, high pressure and high temperature transformed the dead organisms into Petroleum.

Coal, Petroleum and natural gas are fossil fuels.

An astronaut's pack weighs 17.5 N when she is on earth, but only 3.24 N when she is on the surface of an asteroid. What is the a
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

a= 1.81 m/s²

Explanation:

Ratio of the weights on both surfaces can be calculated as,

\frac{W_{a} }{W_{E} }=\frac{ma}{mg}

Here;

   Wa is the weight on the asteroid,       W_{E} is weight on earth,

         m is mass of pack,          a is acceleration due to an asteroid and

         g is acceleration due to gravity.

         Rearrange above equation for a,

           a=g (\frac{Wa}{W_{E} })

Substitute 3.24 N for Wa,       17.5 N for  W_{E},

          9.81 m/s² for g in the above equation,

          a= 9.81(\frac{3.24}{17.5})

          a= 1.81 m/s²

A single-turn circular loop of wire that has a radius of 3.5 cm lies in the plane perpendicular to a spatially uniform magnetic
Lena [83]

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circular loop, r = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

(a) During a 0.12-s time interval, the magnitude of the field increases uniformly from 0.2 T to 0.5 T. Due to the change in the magnetic field, an emf will induced in it. The magnitude of induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=-\pi r^2\dfrac{B_f-B_i}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=-\pi (0.035)^2\dfrac{0.5-0.2}{0.12}\\\\\epsilon=-9.62\times 10^{-3}\ volts

So, the magnitude of the emf induced in the loop during the time interval is 9.62\times 10^{-3}\ V.

(b) The negative sign shows that the direction of induced emf in the loop is in anitclockwise direction.

A mass is attached to an ideal spring. At time t = 0 the spring is at its natural length and the mass is given an initial veloci
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

t = T/4

Explanation:

The power delivered to the mass by the spring is work done by the spring per second.

P = \frac{dW}{dt}

The work done by the spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring.

U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

The maximum energy stored in the spring is at the amplitude of the oscillation.

U_{max} =\frac{1}{2}kA^2

So the first time the mass reaches to its amplitude can be found by the following equation of motion:

x = A\cos(\omega t + \phi)\\\phi = \pi/2 ~because ~at ~t= 0, ~ x = 0\\0 = A\cos(0 + \pi/2)\\x = A\cos(\omega t + \pi/2)

When the mass reaches the amplitude:

A = A\cos(\omega t + \pi/2)\\1 = \cos(\omega t + \pi/2)\\\omega t + \pi/2 = \pi

because cos(π) = 1.

\omega t = \pi/2

Using ω = 2π/T,

\omega t = \pi/2\\\frac{2\pi}{T}t = \pi/2\\t = \frac{T}{4}

How does sea floor spreading provide an explanation for how continents may move over earths surface?(I know this isn't Physics,
Neporo4naja [7]
Alfred Wegner first proposed the idea that all the seven continents were once one super continent called "Pangea". Everyone considered his idea as a joke until he proved his theory with evidence of matching fossils, matching mountain ranges, and how all the continents fit together like puzzle pieces. Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge. Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics.
