Answer:

671.76 kg or 6590 N

Explanation:

So the buoyant force generated by the floating ice is equals to the mass of water displaced by the submerged ice. We also need to account for gravity of ice. The resulting additional mass that the ice sheet can support is the difference between the mass of water displaced by ice and the mass of ice submerged totally in water.

m = m_w - m_i

m = V\rho_w - V\rho_i

m = V(\rho_w - \rho_i) = 6.22*(1025 - 917) = 671.76 kg

So the ice piece can support an additional 671.76 kg of bear, or 671.76 * 9.81 = 6590 N

Consider a horse pulling a buggy. Is the
Degger [83]

Yes, it's true.

But 2nd Newton Law always come to play when the horse is to move forward because obviously the forces interact antagonistically and mass has to be accounted for.

That's what I think. Hope it's right, all the best.

how much water is needed to produce 1kwh of electricity at a power plant that is 30% efficient if the temperature increase 10 C
Dimas [21]

The amount of water needed is 287 kg

Explanation:

The amount of energy that we need to produce with the power plant is

E=1 kWh = (1000W)(1h)=(1000W)(3600s)=3.6\cdot 10^6 J

We also know that the power plant is only 30% efficient, so the energy produced in input must be:

E_{in}=\frac{E}{0.30}=\frac{3.6\cdot 10^6}{0.3}=1.2\cdot 10^7 J

The amount of water that is needed to produce this energy can be found using the equation

E_{in}=mC\Delta T

where:

m is the amount of water

C=4186 J/kg^{\circ}C is the specific heat capacity of water

\Delta T=10^{\circ}C is the increase in temperature

And solving for m, we find:

m=\frac{E_{in}}{C\Delta T}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^7}{(4186)(10)}=287 kg
