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

When a rock thrown straight up reaches its maximum height, its velocity is?
MakcuM [25]
Using kinematic equation,
V² - U² = -2ah (minus g is in downward direction)
At highest point, final velocity will be zero. i.e V = 0.
∴ -U² = -2ah
U = √2gh (where a = g and h = maximum height achieved)

You can find velocity if h is given to you.

What is the velocity of a beam of electrons that goes undeflected when passing through perpendicular electric and magnetic field
goldenfox [79]
F = qE + qV × B
where force F, electric field E, velocity V, and magnetic field B are vectors and the × operator is the vector cross product. If the electron remains undeflected, then F = 0 and E = -V × B
which means that |V| = |E| / |B| and the vectors must have the proper geometrical relationship. I therefore get
|V| = 8.8e3 / 3.7e-3
= 2.4e6 m/sec
Acceleration a = V²/r, where r is the radius of curvature.
a = F/m, where m is the mass of an electron,
so qVB/m = V²/r.
Solving for r yields
r = mV/qB
= 9.11e-31 kg * 2.37e6 m/sec / (1.60e-19 coul * 3.7e-3 T)
= 3.65e-3 m

Water is being heated in a vertical piston-cylinder device. the piston has a mass of 20 kg and a cross-sectional area of 100 cm2
sesenic [268]
<span>Answer: We have pressure from the weight of the piston + atmospheric pressure acting on the gas pressure from the piston... P = F / area = mass x acceleration due to gravity / area P = (24 kg x 9.80 m/s²) / (90 cm² x (1m/100cm)²) = 26133 N/m² = 2.61x10^4 Pa = 26.1 kPa total pressure acting on the gas = 26+85 kPa = 111 kPa then.. via clausius clapeyron equation.. ln(P1 / P2) = (dHvap / R) x (1 / T2 - 1 / T1) and if I pick say.. the normal boiling point of water for P2, T2.. then... P1 = 111 kPa P2 = 101.325 kPa dHvap = 40680 J/mole R = 8.314 J/moleK T2 = 373.15 K T1 = ?? ---> T1 = 102.46°</span>

What, roughly, is the percent uncertainty in the volume of a spherical beach ball whose radius is 5.66 0.09 m?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

  • 4.77 %

Explanation:

We know that the volume V for a sphere of radius r is

V(r) = \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3

If we got an uncertainty \Delta r the formula for the uncertainty of V is:

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  (\frac{dV}{dr} \Delta r)^2  }

We can calculate this uncertainty, first we obtain the derivative:

\frac{dV}{dr}  = 3 * \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^2

\frac{dV}{dr}  = 4 \ \pi \ r^2

And using it in the formula:

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  (4 \ \pi \ r^2\Delta r)^2  }

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  4^2 \ \pi^2 \ r^4 \Delta r^2  }

\Delta V(r) =  4 \  \pi \ r^2 \Delta r

The relative uncertainty is:

\frac{\Delta V(r)}{V(r)}

\frac{ 4 \  \pi \ r^2 \Delta r  }{ \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3}

\frac{ 3  \Delta r  }{  r}

Using the values for the problem:

\frac{ 3 * 0.09 m  }{  5.66 m} = 0.0477

This is, a percent uncertainty of 4.77 %
