When the wood block is dropped in the water and settles so that it floats and is no longer bobbing up and down, how do the buoya

When the block settles and stops bobbing up and down, the buoyant force and gravitational force on it must be EQUAL.  If they were not equal, then there would be a NET vertical force on the block, and it would be accelerating vertically, either up or down.  It's not, so there isn't.

strojnjashka [21]
Force equals mass*distance
F = ma

Given m = 10 kg, F = 30 N

30 = 10a
30/10 = a
3 = a

The wagon's acceleration is 3 m/s^2

Is there a such thing as an elastic collision? Why do we study the case of the elastic collision in Physics?
fredd [130]
Yes there is an elastic collision in physics its when a collision occurs but no kinetic energy is loss. We study them in order to understand how to conserve momentum.

Which refers to the change of pitch heard when the source of the sound approaches and then moves away from a stationary person?
babunello [35]
<h2><em>The Doppler effect is a change in the frequency of sound waves that occurs when the source of the sound waves is moving relative to a stationary listener. As the source of sound waves approaches a listener, the sound waves get closer together, increasing their frequency and the pitch of the sound.</em></h2><h2><em>HOP</em>E IT HELPS </h2><h2>THANK YOU </h2>

Answer:

570 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram on the rider.  There are three forces: tension force 15° below the horizontal, drag force 30° above the horizontal, and weight downwards.

The rider is moving at constant speed, so acceleration is 0.

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F cos 30° - T cos 15° = 0

F = T cos 15° / cos 30°

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

F sin 30° - W - T sin 15° = 0

W = F sin 30° - T sin 15°

Substituting:

W = (T cos 15° / cos 30°) sin 30° - T sin 15°

W = T cos 15° tan 30° - T sin 15°

W = T (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

Given T = 1900 N:

W = 1900 (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

W = 570 N

The rider weighs 570 N (which is about the same as 130 lb).

sasho [114]

Answer:

Distance traveled will be 5.6307 m

Explanation:

Time t = 3 sec

We have given force F = 25 N

We know that force is given by F = ma

So ma = 25 -----------eqn 1

Weight is given by W = 196 N

We know that weight is given by W = mg

So mg = 196 -----------------eqn 2

From equation 1 and equation 2 \frac{a}{g}=\frac{25}{196}

a=1.2512m/sec^2

Initial velocity is given as 0 so u = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2512\times 3^2=5.6307m
