When the truck's weight is added to the boat, the boat sinks 5 cm deeper,
and displaces additional water whose weight is equal to the weight of the
truck.

The volume of the additional displaced water is

             (3.9 m) x (6.3 m) x (5.0 cm)

         =  (3.9 m) x (6.3 m) x (0.05 m)  =   1.2285 m³ .

The weight of that much water is the weight of the truck.

          Mass of 1 liter of water  =  1 kilogram

          1.2285 m³  =  1,228.5 liters  =  1,228.5 kg of water.

          Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

                      = (1,228.5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)  =  12,039 Newtons.

                                                                  (about 2,708 pounds)

Lady_Fox [76]

The gravitational force acting between them is 8.25*10^-^9N

Data given;

  • M1 = 45kg
  • M2 = 11kg
  • r = 2.0m
  • G = 6.67*10^-^1^1m^3kg^-^1s^-^1

To solve this question, we need to apply gravitational force or energy formula.

<h3>Gravitational Force</h3>

This states that the force of attraction between two bodies is equal to the product of their bodies and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

Mathematically;

F = \frac{GM_1M_2}{r^2} \\

let's substitute the values and solve

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\F = \frac{6.67*10^-^1^1 * 45 * 11}{2^2}\\F = 8.25*10^-^9N

The force of gravity acting between them is 8.25*10^-^9N

A toy cannon tosses a rubber ball straight upward. A motion sensor measures the speed of the ball as it leaves the cannon. Using
mezya [45]

Answer:

With this information is not possible to calculate the mass.

Explanation:

This is a characteristic problem of energy conservation, where kinetic energy becomes potential energy. For this particular problem, we have the initial speed as input data. The moment the ball comes out of the cannon we have the maximum kinetic energy, as the ball goes up the ball will gain more potential energy as the ball loses kinetic energy, until the moment the ball reaches the maximum height. At the maximum height point, the ball will have its maximum potential energy while its kinetic energy is zero. In other words, all the kinetic energy that was, in the beginning, was transformed into potential energy.

E_{p}=E_{k}\\m*g*h=0.5*m*v^2

In the above equation the masses are canceled and we can determine the maximum height, by means of the initial speed.

h=\frac{0.5*v^2}{g} [m]

But the mass cannot be determined, since it would be necessary to know the value of the energy, in order to determine the value of the mass.
