A floating boat has a weight of 100 N. What is the buoyant force on the boat?

If the boat is floating, then it's just sitting there, and not accelerating
up or down. That means the vertical forces on it must be balanced.

So if its weight (acting downward) is 100 newtons, then the buoyant
force on it (acting upward) must also be 100 newtons.

A 50-ω resistor is connected to a 9.0 V battery. How much thermal energy is produced in 7.5 minutes?1.2 * 10^2 J1.3 * 10^3 J3.0

emmasim [6.3K]

In order to calculate the thermal energy, first let's calculate the power, using the formula:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

For a voltage V = 9 Volts and a resistance R = 50 ohms, we have:

$\begin{gathered} P=\frac{9^2}{50} \\ P=\frac{81}{50}=1.62\text{ W} \end{gathered}$

Now, multiplying the power by the time (in seconds), we can find the energy:

$\begin{gathered} E=P\cdot t \\ E=1.62\cdot7.5\cdot60 \\ E=729\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

In scientific notation, we have an energy of 7.3 * 10^2 J, therefore the correct option is the fourth one.

Guys please help me out I’ll give extra points

Answer: h = 3.34 m

Explanation:

If the hat is thrown straight up, then at its highest point it has no motion and no kinetic energy. All energy is potential energy

PE = mgh

h = PE/mg = 4.92 / (0.150(9.81)) = 3.34352... ≈3.34 m

How are frequency and wave period related?

dedylja [7]

-- The unit of frequency is "per second" (Hz), which is [reciprocal time].

-- The unit of period is "second", which is [time].

Do you see where this is going ?

'Frequency' and 'period' are reciprocals of each other.

For any wave ...

Period = (1) / (frequency) .

Frequency = (1) / (period) .
