The total amount of fresh water on earth is $3.73 *10^{8} km^3$

Hence the volume of water $v= 3.73*10^{8} km^{3}$

we are asked to convert this into cubic metre and cubic feet.

we know that 1 km = 1000 m.

$1 km^3 = [10^3 m]^3$

$1 km^3 = 10^{9} m^{3}$

we have been given $v = 3.73 *10^{8} km^3$

$v = 3.73 *10^{8} *10^{9} m^{3}$

$v = 3.73*10^{17} m^{3}$ [ANS]

Now we have to convert it into cubic feet

we know that one metre = 3.28083 feet

$1 m^{3} =[3.28083feet]^{3}$

$1 m^{3} =35.3143472 feet^{3}$

Hence $v =3.73*10^{17} m^{3}$

$= 3.73*10^{17} *35.3143472 feet^{3}$

⇒ $v = 131.7225*10^{17} feet^{3}$ [ANS]

One km^3 is 1,000,000,000 m^3=10^9 m^3 hence 3.73 10^8 km^3 is 3.73 10^17 m^3

One meter is 3.28084 feet hence 1 m^3 is (3.28084)^3 feet

Thus 3.73 10^8 km^3 is 3.73*35.315 10^17 = 132 cubic feet

A block is pulled across a flat surface at a constant speed using a force of 50 newtons at an angle of 60 degrees above the hori

vladimir2022 [97]

The magnitude of the friction force is 25 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the block along the horizontal direction. We have:

The horizontal component of the pulling force, $F cos \theta$ , where F = 50 N is the magnitude and $\theta=60^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the horizontal; this force acts in the forward direction
The force of friction, $F_f$ , acting in the backward direction

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the block in the horizontal direction must be equal to the product between the mass of the block and its acceleration:

$\sum F_x = ma_x$

where

m is the mass of the block

$a_x$ is the horizontal acceleration

However, the block is moving at constant speed, so the acceleration is zero:

$a_x = 0$

So the equation becomes

$\sum F_x = 0$ (1)

The net force here is given by

$\sum F_x = F cos \theta - F_f$ (2)

And so, by combining (1) and (2), we find the magnitude of the friction force:

$F cos \theta - F_f = 0\\F_f = F cos \theta = (50)(cos 60^{\circ})=25 N$

A man paddles a canoe at 6 km per hour. If he paddles on a river with a current of 6 km per hour, what is the speed of the canoe

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is 8.48 [km/h] towards southeast

Explanation:

When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:

Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}

Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]

We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.

Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]

For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.

So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).

Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:

$Vt = \sqrt{(6)^{2} +(-6)^{2} } \\Vt=8.48[km/h]$

How to find resultant force?

lys-0071 [83]

Assuming you're working in a 3D cartesian coordinate system, i.e. each point in space has an x, y, and z coordinate, you add up the forces' x/y/z components to find the resultant force.

Unpolarized light passes through a combination of two ideal polarizers. The transmission axes of the first polarizer and the sec

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

62.5 %

Explanation:

Let the initial intensity of unpolarized light is Io.

After first polariser the intensity of light becomes I'.

So, $I' = \frac{I_{0}}{2}$

Now it passes through another polariser. The angle between the first polariser and the second polariser is given by Ф. The intensity is I''.

According to the law of Malus

$I'' = I' Cos^{2}\phi$

Here, Ф = 30 degree

$I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{2} Cos^{2}30=0.375I_{0}$

The percentage change in the intensity is given by

$\frac{I_{0}-I''}{I_{0}}\times 100=\frac{I_{0}-0.375I_{0}}{I_{0}}\times100$

= 62.5 %
