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

You leave your home at 1pm. At 3pm, you are 100 km east of your house. What was your average velocity in km/hr
Rasek [7]

Answer:

50km/h

Explanation:

Average velocity = change in distance (or distance travelled) divided by/ the change in time (or time taken.)

The change in distance has been given as 100km.

The change in time is 3pm-1pm = 2 hours.

Therefore the average velocity was 100/2 = 50km/h (to the east).

Hope this helped!

What speed should a satellite with a mass of 1500 kg at 8,500 km above the center of the earth be traveling at in order to stay
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

6844.5 m/s.

Explanation:

To get the speed of the satellite, the centripetal force on it must be enough to change its direction. This therefore means that the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force.

Formula for centripetal force is;

F_c = mv²/r

Formula for gravitational force is:

F_g = GmM/r²

Thus;

mv²/r = GmM/r²

m is the mass of the satellite and M is mass of the earth.

Making v the subject, we have;

v = √(GM/r)

We are given;

G = 6.67 × 10^(-11) m/kg²

M = 5.97 × 10^(24) kg

r = 8500 km = 8500000

Thus;

v = √((6.67 × 10^(-11) × (5.97 × 10^(24)) /8500000) = 6844.5 m/s.
