A raft with the area A , thickness= h and the mass 600 kg, Floats in still water with 7 cm

1 answer:

7 0

In this problem, we need to solve for Bubba’s mass. To do this, we let A be the area of the raft and set the weight of the displaced fluid with the raft alone as ρwAd1g and ρwAd2g with the person on the raft, where ρw is the density of water, d1 = 7cm, and d2= 8.4 cm. Set the weight of displaced fluid equal to the weight of the floating objects to eliminate A and ρw then solve for m.

ρwAd1g = Mg

ρwAd2g = (M + m) g

d2∕d1 = (M + m)/g

m = [(d2∕d1)-1] M = [(8.4 cm/7.0 cm) - 1] (600 kg) =120 kg

This means that Bubba’s mass is 120 kg.

Help greatly appreciated.

Answer:

If Kepler’s laws define the motion of the planets, Newton’s laws define motion. Thinking on Kepler’s laws, Newton realized that all motion, whether it was the orbit of the Moon around the Earth or an apple falling from a tree, followed the same basic principles. “To the same natural effects,” he wrote, “we must, as far as possible, assign the same causes.” Previous Aristotelian thinking, physicist Stephen Hawking has written, assigned different causes to different types of motion. By unifying all motion, Newton shifted the scientific perspective to a search for large, unifying patterns in nature. Newton outlined his laws in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (“Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy,”) published in 1687.

Law I. Every body perseveres in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed theron.

In essence, a moving object won’t change speed or direction, nor will a still object start moving, unless some outside force acts on it. The law is regularly summed up in one word: inertia.

Law II. The alteration of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.

Newton’s second law is most recognizable in its mathematical form, the iconic equation: F=ma. The strength of the force (F) is defined by how much it changes the motion (acceleration, a) of an object with some mass (m).

Law III. To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.

As Newton himself described: “If you press a stone with your finger, the finger is also pressed by the stone.”

A box is being dragged with a horizontal force of 65 N for 12 meters. If there is a force of friction acting on it

asambeis [7]

Answer:

A. 780 J

B. 120 J

C. 660 J

Explanation:

From the question given above the following data were obtained:

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

A. Determination of the work done by the dragging force.

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Workdone (Wd) by dragging force =?

Wd = Fₔ × s

Wd = 65 × 12

Wd = 780 J

Therefore, the work done by the dragging force is 780 J

B. Determination of the work done by friction.

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Workdone (Wd) by friction =?

Wd = Fբ × s

Wd = 10 × 12

Wd = 120 J

Therefore, the work done by friction is 120 J

C. Determination of the net work done on the box.

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Net work done (Wd) =?

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the box. This can be obtained as follow:

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₔ – Fբ

Fₙ = 65 – 10

Fₙ = 55 N

Thus, the net force acting on the box is 55 N

Finally, we shall determine the net work done on the box as follow:

Distance (s) = 12 m

Net force (Fₙ) = 55 N

Net work done (Wd) =?

Wd = Fₙ × s

Wd = 55 × 12

Wd = 660 J

Therefore, the net work done on the box is 660 J

Electromagnetic waves do require a medium to travel. True False

pshichka [43]

Answer:

The Answer is false

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.
