A ship can carry more load than aeroplane of same size. why?​

Physics

stepladder [879]4 years ago

Answer:

density of water is much greater than density of air

Explanation:

when body is in fluid it carries weight which is always equal to upthrust

upthrust is given as

upthrust= density of fluid ×strength of gravitational field g × volume of body in fluid

as volume of ship and aeroplane is same and strength of gravitational field or acceleration due to gravity is same hence upthrust depens upon density of fluid .

density of air is about 1.2 kg/m^3  and density of water is 1000kg/m^3 hence ship carries more load

Heather and Jerry are standing on a bridge 60 m above a river Heather throws a rock straight down with a speed of 14 m/s. Jerry,
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Time elapsed   = 2.856

SECOND ROCK HAS FASTER SPEED

Explanation:

This can be achieved in 2 ways, and it is clear from the careful study that the travel time is attributed to the time required to cross the path above the bridge by the 2nd stone  i.e.

14 = 9.8 * t

t = 1.428 sec and

time between 2 splash  = 2 * 1.428 = 2. 857 sec

2nd way

let time for 1st spalsh be t and

second splash be t1.

from equation of motion

so 60 = 14t + 0.5 * 9.8 * t * t

4.9 t^2 + 14t -60 = 0

On solving, we get t = 2.351 sec

for t_1, we have some extra time, which can be divided into t2 and t3.

14 = 9.8 * t2

t2 = 1.428 sec  

total time taken by 2 is

T = 1.428 + 1.428 + 2.351

so we get t_1 = 5.207 sec

time elapsed is  = T - t

                           = 5.207 - 2.351

Time elapsed   = 2.856

SECOND ROCK HAS FASTER SPEED

Consider a block of mass m at rest on an inclined plane of angle theta. An acrobat of mass m_A is standing on the top corner of
shtirl [24]

Answer:

μ = tan θ

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the translational equilibrium condition.

Let's set a datum with the x axis parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular to the plane.

Let's break down the weight of the block

         sin θ = Wₓ / W

         cos θ = W_y / W

         Wₓ = W sin θ

         W_y = W cos θ

The acrobat is vertically so his weight decomposition is

         sin θ = = wₐₓ / wₐ

         cos θ = wₐ_y / wₐ

         wₐₓ = wₐ  sin θ

         wₐ_y = wₐ cos θ

let's write the equilibrium equations

Y axis  

     N- W_y - wₐ_y = 0

     N = W cos θ + wₐ cos θ

X axis

        Wₓ + wₐ_x - fr = 0

         fr = W sin θ + wₐ sin θ

the friction force has the formula

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ (W cos θ + wₐ cos θ)

we substitute

         μ (Mg cos θ + mg cos θ) = Mgsin θ + mg sin θ

         μ = \frac{(M +m) \ sin \  \theta  }{(M +m) \ cos  \ \theta }

 

         μ = tan θ

this is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction for which the system is in equilibrium.

You nose out another runner to win the 100.000m dash. If your total time for the race was 11.8 seconds and you aced out the othe
daser333 [38]
You completed 100.000 m in 11.800 second

you aced out the other runner by 0.001 seconds

time taken by other runner to finish = 11.800 + 0.001 = 11.801s

speed of other runner = 100/11.801 m/s

distance covered by him in 11.8 s = 100/11.801 × 11.8 = 99.992 m

you won by = 100 - 99.992 = 0.008 meter

La capacidad del disco duro de un computador se expresa en gigabytes (GB), sin embargo, hoy se consiguen discos de 1 terabyte o
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1 TB= 1000 GB

Explanation:

The capacity of a computer's hard disk is expressed in gigabytes (GB), however, today disks of 1 terabyte or more (TB) are available.

TB and GB are units of capacity of hard disk of a computer or laptop. We need to write the relation between GB and TB.

1 TB= 1000 GB

There are 1000 GB is equivalent to 1 TB.
