The density of a hippo is approximately 1030kg/m^3,so it sinks to the bottom of the freshwater lakes and rivers. A 1500kg hippo

is completely submerged ,standing on the bottom of a lake. What is the approximate value of the upward normal force on the hippo?

Answer:

14,700 N

Explanation:

The hyppo is standing completely submerged on the bottom of the lake. Since it is still, it means that the net force acting on it is zero: so, the weight of the hyppo (W), pushing downward, is balanced by the upward normal force, N:

W-N=0 (1)

the weight of the hyppo is

W=mg=(1500 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=14,700 N

where m is the hyppo's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration; therefore, solving eq.(1) for N, we find

N=W=14,700 N

A ball is thrown vertically upward (assumed to be the positive direction) with a speed of 24.0 m/s from a height of 3.0 m. (a) H
SashulF [63]

Answer:

a) 29.36 m

b) 2.44 s

c) 2.57 s

d) 25.117 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 24 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

b)

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=24-9.81\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-24}{-9.81}=t\\\Rightarrow t=2.44 \s

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 2.44 seconds

a)

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=24\times 2.44+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 2.44^2\\\Rightarrow s=29.35\ m

The highest point reached by the ball above its release point is 29.36 m

c) Total height is 3+29.35 = 32.35 m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 32.35=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{32.35\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.57\ s

The ball reaches the ground 2.57 seconds after reaching the highest point

d)

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 2.57\\\Rightarrow v=25.2117\ m/s

The ball will hit the ground at 25.2117 m/s

Jenise is buying a car for $7,020. The TAVT rate is 9.1%.
djyliett [7]

Answer:

$7,658.82

Explanation:

<u>Sales Tax Calculations:</u>

Sales Tax Amount = Net Price x (Sales Tax Percentage / 100)

Total Price = Net Price + Sales Tax Amount

Net Price: $ 7,020.00

+Sales Tax (9.1%): $ 638.82

Total Price: $ 7,658.82

Therefore, the amount of tax that Jenise has to pay on her car is $7,658.82

Explain in your own words how the Doppler Effect is also applicable in our study of light.
arlik [135]

well in my own words, i'd saw the the doppler effect is similar to light because sound has a speed, and light does too.

so my theory is if you go fast enough everything would just become black, or maybe white? idk its hard to explain

but what my point is, is taht the doppler effect works in the same way, like if a car is moving towards you the sound is being emitted from the car and being pushed by the speed of the car making it have a much higher pitch, when the car is going away however it drops to a lower pitch due the the sound waves being DRAGGED by the car.

there hoped this helped I guess
