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

From a cliff 37.6 m high. At the level of the sea, a rock sticks out a horizontal distance of 12.12 m. The acceleration of gravi
Aleks [24]

Answer:

4.3 m/sec

Explanation:

Here height of cliff = y = 37.6 m

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/sec2

vi = 0 m/s

Let's find the time which the diver will take if jumps from there!

Using formula

y = vit+1/2gt2

==> 37.6= 0 + 0.5 ×9.8×t^{2}

==>t^{2}= \frac{37.6}{4.9}

==> t = 2.8 sec

In this time the diver has to cover a horizontal distance of 12.12 m

If x = 12.12 m is the horizontal distance to be covered then using

x= Vx × t

==> Vx = x/t

==> Vx= 12.12/2.8 = 4.3 m/s

A baseball player throws a baseball with a velocity of 13 m/s north. It is caught by a second player seven seconds later. How fa
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

A. 91 meters north

Explanation:

Take +y to be north.

Given:

v₀ = 13 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 7 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (13 m/s) (7 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (7 s)²

Δy = 91 m

The displacement is 91 m north.

How will heat flow between objects?
alukav5142 [94]
Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.
