When you float an ice cube in water, you notice that 90% of it is submerged beneath the surface. Now suppose you put the same ic

e cube in a glass of some liquid whose density is less than that of water. How much of the ice cube will be submerged below the surface of this liquid? a. More than 90% b. 90% c. Less than 90%

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

90% of the body is submerged in water.

Now it is immersed in an unknown liquid whose density is less than the density of water.

Buoyant force acting on the body depends on the volume immersed, density of liquid and gravity.

As the density of liquid is less than the density of water, so the buoyant force acting on the body by the unknown liquid is less than water. So it is submerged less than 90% in this liquid.

Describe the movement of air over 2 nearby land areas, one of which is heated more than the other.

In this case, the air from the warm area will always start moving towards the colder areas because as the temperature in both lands should be equal. This is one of the laws of thermodynamics.

Find the angle formed by two forces of 7N and 15N respectively if its result is worth 20N
nadezda [96]
First, you need to make certain assumptions before solving this question. Why? Because there are no information given about the direction of these forces. In such questions as above, ALWAYS make the following assumptions:

1) Take first force, say F_{1}, and assume that it is pointing towards the x-direction.

Let us take the 7N force! By keeping the above assumption in our minds, the force vector would be like:
F_{1} = 7i, where i = Unit vector in the x-direction.

2) Take the second force, say F_{2}, and assume that it is making an angle \alpha with the first force F_{1}.

Let us take the 15N force! By keeping the above assumption in our minds, the forces vector would be like:

F_{2} = (15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j

Now from simple vector addition, we know that,
F_{R} = F_{1} + F_{2} --- (A)

Where F_{R} = Resultant vector.
NOTE: In equation (A), all forces are in vector notation. Assume that there is an arrow head on top of them.

Let us find F_{1}+F_{2} first!
F_{1}+F_{2} =  7i+(15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j

=> F_{1}+F_{2} =  (7+15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j

Now the magnitude of F_{1}+F_{2} is,
| F_{1}+F_{2}| = \sqrt{ (7+ 15*cos \alpha)^{2} +  (15*sin \alpha )^{2}}

=> | F_{1}+F_{2}| = \sqrt{ 49 + 225*(cos \alpha)^{2} + 210*(cos \alpha)+ 255*(sin \alpha )^{2}}

Since (sin \alpha)^{2} + (cos \alpha)^{2} = 1, therefore,

=> | F_{1}+F_{2}| = \sqrt{ 49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)}

Since  | F_{1}+F_{2}| = |F_{R}|, and the magnitude of the resultant force is 20N, therefore,

 |F_{R}| = | F_{1}+F_{2}|
20 = \sqrt{ 49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)}

Take square on both sides,
400 = 49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)
(cos \alpha) =  \frac{3}{5}

\alpha = 53.13^{o}

Ans: Angle formed by the two forces, 7N and 15N, is: 53.13°

Batman (mass = 96.1 kg) jumps straight down from a bridge into a boat (mass = 458 kg) in which a criminal is fleeing. The veloci
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The velocity of the boat after the batman lands in it is +9.26 m/s

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.

Note: The collision between the Batman and the boat is an inelastic collision.

m'u'+mu = V(m+m').................... Equation 1

Where m' = mass of the Batman, u' = initial velcoity of the batman, m = mass of the boat, u = initial velocity of the boat, V = common velocity.

make V the subject of equation 1

V = (m'u'+mu)/(m+m')............... Equation 2

Given: m' = 96.1 kg, u' = 0 m/s, m = 458 kg, u = +11.3 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = [(96.1×0)+(458×11.2)]/(96.1+458)

V = 5129.6/554.1

V = +9.26 m/s
