A barge floating in fresh water (rho = 1000 kg/m^3) is shaped like a hollow rectangular prism with base area A = 550 m^2 and hei

ght H = 2.0 m. When empty the bottom of the barge is located H0 = 0.55 m below the surface of the water. When fully loaded with coal the bottom of the barge is located H1 = 1.35 m below the surface.
Randomized Variables
A = 750 m²
H₀ = 0.55 m
Hᵢ = -1.1 m
(A) Write an equation for the buoyant force on the empty barge in terms of the known data.
(B) Determine the mass of the barge in kilograms.

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

When empty , H₀ length of barge is inside water .

volume of barge inside water = A x H₀

Weight of displaced water = AH₀ x ρ x g

Buoyant force = weight of displaced water = AH₀ ρg

B)

It should balance the weight of barge

Weight = buoyant force

Weight = AH₀ ρg

mass of barge = weight / g

weight / g = AH₀ ρ

= 550 x .55 x 1000

= 302500 kg

A star ending its life with a mass of four to eight times the Sun's mass is expected to collapse and then undergo a supernova ev
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

r = 16 Km

Explanation:

given  

m_n= 1.67 x 10^-27 Kg

M_star = 3.88 x 10^30 Kg  

A= M_star/m_n

A= 3.88*10^30/1.67 x 10^-27

A=2.28 *10^57  neutrons                           A = The number of neutrons  

we use the number of neutrons as a mass number because the star has only neutrons. = 1.2 x 10-15 m

r = r_o*A^1/3

r = 1.2*10^-15*2.28 *10^57^1/3

r = 16 Km

A 4.0kg bowling ball sliding to the right at 8.0 m/s has an elastic head-on collision with another 4.0 kg bowling ball initially
Kisachek [45]

a)

We use the formula :

m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f

Substituting the values in:

4.0kg*8.0m/s + 4.0kg*0m/s = 4.0kg*0m/s +4.0kg*v2f

Calculating this we get:

32.0kg*m/s + 0kg*m/s = 0kg*m/s + 4.0kg*v2f

Rearrange for v2f:

v2f = \frac{32.0kg*m/s}{4.0kg}

This gives us 8.0 m/s as the final velocity of the second ball.

b)

Since the collision is assumed to be elastic it means that the kinetic energy must be equal before and after the collision.

This means we use the formula:

Ek = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}+ \frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} +  \frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Substituting in values:

Ek = 0.5*4.0kg*(8.0m/s)^2 + 0.5*4.0kg*(0m/s)^2 = 0.5*4.0kg*(0m/s)^2 + 0.5*4.0kg*(8.0m/s)^2

This simplifies to:

Ek= 128J + 0J = 0J + 128J

This shows us that the kinetic energy is equal on each side therefore the collision is Elastic and no energy has been lost.
