Speed is the rate at which something covers a distance; velocity is the same but it takes into account whether it goes forwards or backwards; and acceleration is the rate of an increase in speed.

A 1.20 kg water balloon will break if it experiences more than 530 N of force. Your 'friend' whips the water balloon toward you

Answer:

t = 0.029s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the interaction time at the moment of catching the ball, you take into account that the force exerted on an object is also given by the change, on time, of its linear momentum:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ (1)

m: mass of the water balloon = 1.20kg

Δv: change in the speed of the balloon = v2 - v1

v2: final speed = 0m/s (the balloon stops in my hands)

v1: initial speed = 13.0m/s

Δt: interaction time = ?

The water balloon brakes if the force is more than 530N. You solve the equation (1) for Δt and replace the values of the other parameters:

$|F|=|530N|= |m\frac{v_2-v_1}{\Delta t}|\\\\|530N|=| (1.20kg)\frac{0m/s-13.0m/s}{\Delta t}|\\\\\Delta t=0.029s$

The interaction time to avoid that the water balloon breaks is 0.029s

If the rectangular barge is 3.0 m by 20.0 m and sits 0.70 m deep in the harbor, how deep will it sit in the river?

leva [86]

The harbour contains salt water while the river contains fresh water. So assuming that the densities of fresh water and salt water are:

density (salt water) = 1029 kg / m^3

density (fresh water) = 1000 kg / m^3

The amount of water (in mass) displaced by the barge should be equal in two waters.

mass displaced (salt water) = mass displaced (fresh water)

Since mass is also the product of density and volume, therefore:

<span>[density * volume]_salt water = [density * volume]_fresh water ---> 1</span>

First we calculate the amount of volume displaced in the harbour (salt water):

V = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * 0.70 m

V = 42 m^3 of salt water

Plugging in the values into equation 1:

1029 kg / m^3 * 42 m^3 = 1000 kg/m^3 * Volume fresh water

Volume fresh water displaced = 43.218 m^3

Therefore the depth of the barge in the river is:

43.218 m^3 = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * h

<span>h = 0.72 m (ANSWER)</span>

To find the mass of the planet we will apply the relationship of the given circumference of the planet with the given data and thus find the radius of the planet. From the kinematic equations of motion we will find the gravitational acceleration of the planet, and under the description of this value by Newton's laws the mass of the planet, that is,

The circumference of the planet is,
