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

Determine the density of a rectangular piece of concrete that measures 3.7 cm by 2.1 cm by 5.8 cm and has a mass of 43.8 grams.
Novay_Z [31]
It is customary to work in SI units.

Calculate the volume of the concrete.
V = 3.7*2.1*5.8 cm³ = 45.066 cm³ = 45.066 x 10 ⁻⁶ m³

The mass is  43.8 g = 43.8 x 10⁻³ kg

The density is mass/volume.
Density = (43.8 x 10⁻³ kg)/(45.066 x 10⁻⁶ m³) = 971.9 kg/m³

Answer: 971.9 kg/m³

A railroad car moves under a grain elevator at a constant speed of 3.20 m/s. Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

F = 768 N                  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the elevator, v = 3.2 m/s

Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min, \dfrac{dm}{dt}=240\ kg/min = 4\ kg/s

We need to find the magnitude of force needed to keep the car moving constant speed. The relation between the momentum and the force is given by :

F=\dfrac{dp}{dt}

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}+v\dfrac{dm}{dt}

Since, the speed is constant,

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}

F=v\dfrac{dm}{dt}

F=3.2\times 240

F = 768 N

So, the magnitude of force need to keep the car is 768 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain Energy Transformation using the image below and how the Law of Conservation of Energy is maintained.
Karolina [17]

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles. The law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be related to the mass and velocity as

K.E = 1/2 mv²

Given is a diagram of energy conversion due to combustion.

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles.

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be only converted to one form to the other.

In the given process, the mass decreases but energy remains the same in all forms of energy.

Hence, the law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process
