Hi There,
This is False.
Hope this helped!
- m1=1500kg
- m_2=3000kg
- v_1=5m/s
- v_2=7m/s
Using law of conservation of momentum
For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.
Here's the equation again:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have: Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .
Now the answer jumps out at us: The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.
Answer:
2.464 cm above the water surface
Explanation:
Recall that for the cube to float, means that the volume of water displaced weights the same as the weight of the block.
We calculate the weight of the block multiplying its density (0.78 gr/cm^3) times its volume (11.2^3 cm^3):
weight of the block = 0.78 * 11.2^3 gr
Now the displaced water will have a volume equal to the base of the cube (11.2 cm^2) times the part of the cube (x) that is under water. Recall as well that the density of water is 1 gr/cm^3.
So the weight of the volume of water displaced is:
weight of water = 1 * 11.2^2 * x
we make both weight expressions equal each other for the floating requirement:
0.78 * 11.2^3 = 11.2^2 * x
then x = 0.78 * 11.2 cm = 8.736 cm
This "x" is the portion of the cube under water. Then to estimate what is left of the cube above water, we subtract it from the cube's height (11.2 cm) as follows:
11.2 cm - 8.736 cm = 2.464 cm
