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

Answer:

a = 4.9(1 - sinθ - 0.4cosθ)

Explanation:

Really not possible without a complete setup.

I will ASSUME that this an Atwood machine with two masses (m) connected by an ideal rope passing over an ideal pulley. One mass hangs freely and the other is on a slope of angle θ to the horizontal with coefficient of friction μ. Gravity is g

                                     F = ma

mg - mgsinθ - μmgcosθ = (m + m)a

      mg(1 - sinθ - μcosθ) = 2ma

      ½g(1 - sinθ - μcosθ) = a

maximum acceleration is about 2.94 m/s² when θ = 0

acceleration will be zero when θ is greater than about 46.4°

What unit is used for the value of G in Newton's Law of Universal<br> Gravitation?<br> *
Helga [31]

Answer:

In SI units, its value is approximately 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2. The modern notation of Newton's law involving G was introduced in the 1890s by C. V. Boys. The first implicit measurement with an accuracy within about 1% is attributed to Henry Cavendish in a 1798 experiment.

Suppose the initial kinetic energy and final potential energy in an experiment are both zero. What can you conclude?
Kisachek [45]

Initially, the experiment has only potential energy (since total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy). And at the end, the experment has only kinetic energy.
