Answer:

(a) 92 %

(b) 6.76 %

Explanation:

length, l = 4 m, height, h = 5 m, width, w = 3 m, density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

density of ice = 920 kg/m^3, density of mercury = 13600 kg/m^3

(a) Let v be the volume of ice below water surface.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of water x g = Total volume of ice block x density

                                                                      of ice x g

v x 1000 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.92

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.92 x 100 = 92 %

(b) Let v be the volume of ice below the mercury.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of mercury x g = Total volume of ice block x  

                                                                      density of ice x g

v x 13600 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.0676

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.0676 x 100 = 6.76 %

Describe Kinetic Energy.​
mina [271]
In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

9654.34 m

Explanation:

from conservation of momentum

$$\begin{aligned}30 \times 250 &=-10 \times 120+20 \times V \\20 V &=30 \times 250+10 * 120 \\V &=\frac{30 \times 250+10 \times 120}{20}=435 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}$$

And from Conservation of Energy

\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=m g h\\h=\frac{v^{2}}{2 g}\\h=\frac{(435(m/s))^{2}}{2 \times 9.8(m/s^{2} )}\\h=9654.34 (m)
