Sharks are generally negatively buoyant; the upward buoyant force is less than the weight force. This is one reason sharks tend

to swim continuously; water moving past their fins causes a lift force that keeps sharks from sinking. A 92 kg bull shark has a density of 1040 kg/m3. What lift force must the shark's fins provide if the shark is swimming in seawater? Bull sharks often swim into freshwater rivers. What lift force is required in a river?

Answer:

8.67807 N

34.7123 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of shark = 92 kg

\rho_{se} = Density of seawater = 1030 kg/m³

\rho_{f} = Density of freshwater = 1000 kg/m³

\rho_{sh} = Density of shark = 1040 kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Net force on the fin is (seawater)

F_n=mg-V_s\rho_{se}g\\\Rightarrow F_n=mg-\frac{m}{\rho_{sh}}\rho_{se}g\\\Rightarrow F_n=92\times 9.81-\frac{92}{1040}\times 1030\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_n=8.67807\ N

The lift force required in seawater is 8.67807 N

Net force on the fin is (freshwater)

F_n=mg-V_s\rho_{f}g\\\Rightarrow F_n=mg-\frac{m}{\rho_{sh}}\rho_{f}g\\\Rightarrow F_n=92\times 9.81-\frac{92}{1040}\times 1000\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_n=34.7123\ N

The lift force required in a river is 34.7123 N

What total mass must be converted into energy
Eduardwww [97]

This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with  E = m c² .  But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
                                                    E = m c²

                           1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule  =  (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:

                         Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                                   =  (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)

                                   =        1.144 x 10⁻³⁰  kg .    (choice-1)

This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature.  The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
 
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?

Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)

             =  (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules

             =          7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .

How much converted mass is that ?

                                           E  =  m c²

Divide each side by  c² :    Mass  =  E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

              Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                        =        0.786 kilogram ! ! !

THAT should impress us !  If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly  (1 pound  11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

For the second question you’re solving for resistance. resistance= voltage/ current. 120/0.5= 240. the answer is 240 ohms
for the third question you would do 2*4 since it’s asking for voltage, the answer is 8 volts :)
