Answer:

The volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Explanation:

From Archimedes' principle,

Upthrust = lost in weight = weight of water displaced.

U = W₁ - W₂..................... Equation 1

Where U = upthrust, W₁ = weight in air, W₂ = weight when completely submerged in water.

Given: W₁ = 15 N, W₂ = 13 N

Substituting these values into equation 1

U = 15 - 13

U = 2 N

But,

Weight of water displaced = mass of water displaced. × acceleration due to gravity.

Mass of water displaced = weight of water displaced/ acceleration due to gravity.................... Equation 2

Where: acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², weight of water displaced = 2 N

Substituting these values into equation 2

Mass of water displaced = 2/9.8

Mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg.

Also,

Volume of water displaced = mass of water displaced/ Density of water.............. Equation 3

Where Density of water = 1.0 kg/m³, mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg

Substituting these values into equation 3 above,

Volume of water displaced = 0.204/1

volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Therefore the volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

The tow spring on a car has a spring constant of 3,086 N / m and is initially stretched 18.00 cm by a 100.0 kg college student o

sdas [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The spring constant of the spring, k = 3086 N/m

The spring is stretched 18 cm or 0.18 m

Mass of the student, m = 100 kg

Potential energy of the spring, $P_f=20\ J$

To find,

The velocity of the car.

Solution,

It is a case of conservation of energy. The total energy of the system remains conserved. So,

$P_i=K_f+P_f$

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3086\times (0.18)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20$

$50-20=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$30=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{60}{100}}$

v = 0.774 m/s

So, the velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

3. A 2kg wooden block whose initial speed is 3 m/s slides on a smooth floor for 2 meters before it comes to a

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Calculating Coefficient of friction is 0.229.

Force is 4.5 N that keep the block moving at a constant speed.

Explanation:

We know that speed expression is as $\mathrm{V}^{2}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}+2 . \mathrm{a} . \Delta \mathrm{s}$ .

Where, ${V}_{i}$ is initial speed, V is final speed, ∆s displacement and a acceleration.

Given that,

${V}_{i}$ =3 m/s, V = 0 m/s, and ∆s = 2 m

Substitute the values in the above formula,

$0=3^{2}-2 \times 2 \times a$

0 = 9 - 4a

4a = 9

$a=2.25 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$a=2.25 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ is the acceleration.

Calculating Coefficient of friction:

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{a}$

$\mathrm{F}=\mu \times \mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{g}$

Compare the above equation

$\mu \times m \times g=m \times a$

Cancel "m" common term in both L.H.S and R.H.S

$\text { Equation becomes, } \mu \times g=a$

$\text { Coefficient of friction } \mu=\frac{a}{g}$

$\mathrm{g} \text { on earth surface }=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$\mu=\frac{2.25}{9.8}$

$\mu=0.229$

Hence coefficient of friction is 0.229.

calculating force:

$\text { We know that } \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{a}$

$\mathrm{F}=2 \times 2.25 \quad(\mathrm{m}=2 \mathrm{kg} \text { given })$

F = 4.5 N

Therefore, the force would be 4.5 N to keep the block moving at a constant speed across the floor.

Which of the following changes would make a heat engine waste more energy as heat

Komok [63]

A decrease in it's operating temperature would make a heat engine less efficient. This is because in order to operate, a heat engine needs to be hot and maintain that temperature.
