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?

8 0

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

How does paving parking lots and roads with concrete or asphalt affect surface water and groundwater?
lidiya [134]
Parking lots with roads and concrete reduce infiltration. Infiltration is the process by which water penetrates the soil. Reducing the amount of water that enters the soil can eventually impact groundwater levels in some areas by decreasing it over time. Paved roads lead to increased surface runoff which increases the possibility of flooding in periods of heavy rainfall. This is known as urban flooding.

Explain why the shortening velocity became slower as the load became heavier in this experiment. how well did the results compar
valkas [14]
<span>The shortening velocity refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. Maximal shortening velocity is only attained with a minimal load. With a light load, the shortening velocity is at its Maximal shortening velocity. When the weight is heavy, the speed in which the muscle lifts the weight decreases in speed at a slower velocity.</span>

When you strike two tuning forks simultaneously, you hear three beats per second. The frequency of the first tuning fork is 440
tekilochka [14]

Answer:4

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of beats is 3 beats per second

Frequency of first tuning fork is f_1=440\ Hz

Beat frequency is difference in the frequency of tuning forks i.e.

either f_1-f_2 or f_2-f_1 =3

so f_2=3+440=443\ Hz

or

f_2=440-3=437\ Hz

so there is not enough information given to decide.

forsale [732]

Answer:

v = 5.24[m/s]

Explanation:

Este problema se puede resolver por medio del principio de la conservación de la energía, donde la energía potencial es igual a la energía cinética. Es decir a medida que el carrito desciende su energía potencial disminuye, pero su energía cinética aumenta.

E_{kin}=E_{pot}

Donde:

E_{kin}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\\\E_{pot}=m*g*h

Ahora reemplazando:

\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}=m*g*h\\\\0.5*v^{2}=9.81*1.4\\v=\sqrt{\frac{9.81*1.4}{0.5} }   \\\\v=5.24[m/s]
