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

Why does it take mars over 500 days to orbit the sun?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Mar's orbital path is more than that of Earth, thus it takes more number of days to orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

Mars takes over 500 days to orbit all the way around the sun than Earth because its distance from the sun (228 million kilometers) is greater than that of Earth (150 million kilometers) which takes it 365 days.

Planets that orbit closer to the sun take shorter time to orbit around the sun because the cover a shorter orbital distance and orbit faster than those planets further from the sun.

<u>For example</u>

Using Earth's distance from the sun, 150 million kilometers and the number of days taken to orbits the sun ,365 days and the distance Mars is from the Earth, 228 million kilometers, you can approximate the time Mar takes to orbit the sun as:

Earth 150 million kilometers  = 365 days

Mars  228 million kilometers= ?

Cross product ; (228 *365) /150 =555 -----(a value closer to that in the question)

A cart of mass m = 0.12 kg moves with a speed v = 0.45 m/s on a frictionless air track and collides with an identical cart that
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

0.006075Joules

Explanation:

The final kinetic energy of the system is expressed as;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v²

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two bodies

v is the final velocity of the bodies after collision

get the final velocity using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

0.12(0.45) + 0/12(0) = (0.12+0.12)v

0.054 = 0.24v

v = 0.054/0.24

v = 0.225m/s

Get the final kinetic energy;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v

KE = 1/2(0.12+0.12)(0.225)²

KE = 1/2(0.24)(0.050625)

KE = 0.12*0.050625

KE = 0.006075Joules

Hence the final kinetic energy of the system is 0.006075Joules

A 55 newton force applied on an object moves the object 10 meters in the same direction as the force. What is the value of work
kifflom [539]

Answer: Option D: 5.5×10²Joules

Explanation:

Work done is the product of applied force and displacement of the object in the direction of force.

W = F.s = F s cosθ

It is given that the force applied is, F = 55 N

The displacement in the direction of force, s = 10 m

The angle between force and displacement, θ = 0°

Thus, work done on the object:

W = 55 N × 10 m × cos 0° = 550 J = 5.5 × 10² J

Hence, the correct option is D.
