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

A. What is the basic building block of matter?
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

a. atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. The atom is made of electrons and protons. It contains the chemical identity of an element.

b. Three types of particles that make up an atom are:

electrons - these are negatively charged particles and lightest constituents of an atom.

protons are positively charges and is 1873 times heavier than an electron.

Neutrons are neutral particles having mass equivalent to mass of proton.

Protons and neutrons exist in the center of an atom in nucleus and electrons revolve around the nucleus.

c. An atom is a neutral entity where as an ion is charged. An ion has excess of electrons or lacks electrons due to which it has negative or positive charge. An atom has an equal number of electrons and protons.

d. In a negative ion, the number electrons is greater than number of protons. The atom when gains electrons becomes negative ion.

e. John Dalton proposed Solid sphere model in which tiny invisible particles constitute matter. These invisible particles are atoms and these are indivisible.

Two boxes on opposite ends of a massless board that is 3.0 m long. The board is supported in the middle by a fulcrum. The box on
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

b. 1.1 m

Explanation:

It is given that the total distance between the masses is equal to the length of the board, which is 3 m. Therefore,

s_{1} + s_{2} = 3\ m\\\\s_{2} = 3\ m - s_{1}\ --------- eqn(1)

where,

s₁ = distance of fulcrum from left mass

s₂ = distance of fulcrum from right mass

In order to achieve balance, the torque due to both masses must be equal:

T_{1} = T_{2}\\m_{1}s_{1} = m_{2}s_{2}\\(25\ kg)(s_{1}) = (15\ kg)(s_{2})\\\\\frac{15\ kg}{25\ kg}(s_{2}) = s_{1}\\\\using\ eqn(1):\\(0.6)(3\ m - s_{1}) = s_{1}\\1.8\ m = 1.6\ s_{1}\\s_{1} = \frac{1.8\ m}{1.6}

s₁ = 1.1 m

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>b. 1.1 m</u>

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

a) Option D

b) Option A

Explanation:

a) Option D

Because a massive car will have more inertia which will make the car move faster but a massive car simultaneously will have more friction thereby restricting its movement in the forward direction. Hence, all the three cars will move equal distance.

b) Option A, Car F

Being most massive car, the frictional force required to stop the car will be highest.
