11–8 Consider a heavy car submerged in water in a lake with a flat bottom. The driver’s side door of the car is 1.1 m high and 0

.9 m wide, and the top edge of the door is 10 m below the water surface. Determine the net force acting on the door (normal to its surface) and the location of the pressure center if (a) the car is well-sealed and it contains air at atmospheric pressure and (b) the car is filled with water.

Answer:

Explanation:

position of centre of mass of door from surface of water

= 10 + 1.1 / 2

= 10.55 m

Pressure on centre of mass

atmospheric pressure + pressure due to water column

10 ⁵ + hdg

= 10⁵ + 10.55 x 1000 x 9.8

= 2.0339 x 10⁵ Pa

the net force acting on the door (normal to its surface)

= pressure at the centre x area of the door

= .9 x 1.1 x 2.0339 x 10⁵

= 2.01356 x 10⁵ N

pressure centre will be at 10.55 m below the surface.

When the car is filled with air or  it is filled with water , in both the cases pressure centre will lie at the centre of the car .

A person weighing 645 N climbs up a ladder to a height of 4.55 m what is the increase in gravitational energy
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: 2934.75 Joules

Explanation:

Potential energy can be defined as energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

<em>P.E = mgh</em>

Where P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per second square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Given the following data;

Weight =645

Height = 4.55

<em>P.E = mgh</em>

But we know that weight = mg = 645N

Substituting into the equation, we have;

<em>P.E = 645 • 4.55</em>

<em>P.E = 2934.75J</em>

Potential energy, P.E = 2934.75 Joules.

Radio telescopes beam radio waves into space. To calculate the speed of the radio waves in space, which information, if any, is
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

No more information is needed

Explanation:

Radio waves are electromagnetic energy, lower frequency forms of this type of energy that includes light and cosmic rays on the high frequency end that we are able to detect. So in free space (vacuum), radio waves travel at their fastest velocity, the “speed of light”. The reason for the quotation marks is because when light or radio waves are propagating through matter, we observe them traveling more slowly.

The mass of the block in the drawing is 10 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the vertical wall is 0.5
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The minimum force to start the block moving up the wall = 49 N

Explanation:

Friction: This is the force that tend to oppose the motion of two bodies in contact. The S.I unit of frictional force is Newton (N)

The minimum force required to start the block moving up the wall = Frictional Force.

I.e F = Frictional force.

And, F = μR..........................Equation 1

Where μ = coefficient of static friction, R = Normal reaction.

But R = mg ( on a level surface).................. Equation 2

Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 10 kg,

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

substituting these values into Equation 2

R = 10 × 9.8

R = 98 N.

Also given: μ = 0.50

Substituting these values into equation 1

F = 98 × 0.5

F = 49 N.

Therefore The minimum force to start the block moving up the wall = 49 N

A boat moves through the water with two forces acting on it. One is a 2.51×103 N forward push by the motor, and the other is a 1
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Acceleration a=0.455m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given that the force by the motor F=2.51\times 10^3N=2510N

Resistive force by the water F=1.88\times 10^3N=1880N

So net force F_{NET}=2510-1880=630N

Mass of the boat = 1384.1 kg

According to newton's second law F=Ma, here M is mass and a is acceleration

So 630=1384.1\times a

a=0.455m/sec^2

Two numbers add to 436 and the first is 134 bigger than the second. what are the two numbers?
Mumz [18]
The numbers you seek are 285 and 151. I must tell you: I've done this kind of problem many times, but this is the first one I've done in my head. It feels so good. And now I have to go take a nap.
