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

Definition: A potential path for the flow of electricity with at least one gap in the path that prevents this flow. The gap is u
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Open circuit

Explanation:

An open circuit is simply an electrical circuit that is not complete. In such a circuit, there is a gap and this will not allow the electric current to pass through.

Despite all the elements being complete in the circuit, an open circuit will halt the flow of electric current and will not do deliver the necessary energy it is supposed to.

In such a circuit, the wires are cut of and not connected properly.

The reverse is a closed circuit.

Identify three situations in which convection occurs.
Minchanka [31]
A boiling pot of water (the water travels in a current throughout the pot), a hot air balloon (hot air rises, making the balloon rise) , and cup of a steaming, hot liquid (hot air rises, creating steam) are all situations where convection occurs.

Beth moves a 15 N book 20 meters in 10 seconds. How much power was produced?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

30 Watts

Explanation:

 Power = Work/Time

Work = Force*Distance

Power = Force * Distance / Time

Power = 15 N * 20 meters / 10 sec

Power = 30 Watts

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?
vredina [299]

Depending on the surface area and weight, either can fall slower.

<u>Explanation: </u>

If you were to drop a feather and a brick off a building at the same height, the brick would reach the ground first. This is due to air resistance and how it slows the feather down compared to the brick. The surface area of the feather creates more resistance compared to its weight, therefore it hits the ground slower. It really all depends on the surface area, weight and the air resistance it creates.

If all air resistance were to be removed, then what would happen is that the two objects would fall and reach the ground at the same time. This is because the objects are in free fall, and because they are in free fall, the two objects would be falling at an acceleration of 9.81 m/s². This is true for all objects in free fall.
