the car stops, the inertia of people keeps them going. no force ... they were going before the car stopped

sudden stop = pain

gentle stop = ok

A rock, with a density of 3.55 g/cm^3 and a volume of 470 cm^3, is thrown in a lake. a) What is the weight of the rock out of th
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

a) Weight of the rock out of the water = 16.37 N

b) Buoyancy force = 4.61 N

c) Mass of the water displaced = 0.47 kg

d) Weight of rock under water = 11.76 N

Explanation:

a) Mass of the rock out of the water = Volume x Density

   Volume = 470 cm³

   Density = 3.55 g/cm³

   Mass = 470 x 3.55 = 1668.5 g = 1.6685 kg

   Weight of the rock out of the water = 1.6685 x 9.81 = 16.37 N

b) Buoyancy force = Volume x Density of liquid x Acceleration due to gravity.

   Volume = 470 cm³

   Density of liquid = 1 g/cm³

   \texttt{Buoyancy force}= \frac{470\times 1\times 9.81}{1000} = 4.61 N

c) Mass of the water displaced = Volume of body x Density of liquid

   Mass of the water displaced = 470 x 1 = 470 g = 0.47 kg

d) Weight of rock under water = Weight of the rock out of the water - Buoyancy force

   Weight of rock under water = 16.37 - 4.61  =11.76 N

Calculate the force of gravity on the 0.60- kg mass if it were 1.3×107 m above Earth's surface (that is, if it were three Earth
nignag [31]
The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation

In this problem, the first object has a mass of m_1=0.60 kg, while the second "object" is the Earth, with mass m_2=5.97 \cdot 10^{24}kg. The distance of the object from the Earth's center is r=1.3 \cdot 10^7 m; if we substitute these numbers into the equation, we find the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the mass of 0.60 kg:
F=G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(0.60 kg)(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(1.3 \cdot 10^7 m)^2}=  1.41 N

The pulley system has a mechanical advantage of 5. Determine how much input force is required to achieve 1000 N of lifting force
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Input force of pulley system = 200 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mechanical advantage of pulley system = 5

Output force from pulley system = 1,000 N

Find;

Input force of pulley system

Computation:

Mechanical advantage = Output force / Input force

Mechanical advantage of pulley system = Output force from pulley system / Input force of pulley system

5 = 1,000 / Input force of pulley system

Input force of pulley system = 1,000 / 5

Input force of pulley system = 200 N
