Answer:

F = 1618.65[N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the following equation that relates the mass, density and volume of the body to the floating force.

We know that the density of wood is equal to 750 [kg/m^3]

density = m / V

where:

m = mass = 165[kg]

V = volume [m^3]

V = m / density

V = 165 / 750

V = 0.22 [m^3]

The floating force is equal to:

F = density * g * V

F = 750*9.81*0.22

F = 1618.65[N]

A sphere is charged with electrons to -6 x 10^-6C. How many electrons make up this charge? The elemental charge is 1.6 x 10^-19
just olya [345]

Answer:

3.75*10^{-13}  electrons

Explanation:

The total charge Q is the sum of the charge of the N electrons contained in the sphere:

Q=N*q_{e}

q_{e}=-1.6*10^{-19}C    charge of a electron

We solve to find N:

N=\frac{Q}{q_{e}}=\frac{-6 x 10^{-6}}{-1.6 x 10^{-19}}=3.75*10^{-13}

A projectile is launched horizontally from a height of 8.0 m. The projectile travels 6.5 m before hitting the ground.
Effectus [21]
Time it takes the projectile to hit the ground after being thrown up:

√h/1/2a

√8/(.5)(9.81)

√8/4.905

√1.630988787

= 1.277101714

= 1. 28

hope this helps :)

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Sound waves are not able to travel in a vacuum, sound requires a medium such as air or a solid for example.  Satellites are indeed in space, but radio waves are not sound waves they are a form of light.  Light can travel in a vacuum so the messages that satellites beam back to Earth are light waves not sound waves, that is why it is possible.
