<span>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, </span>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.

<span>ρwAd1g = Mg</span>

ρw<span>Ad2g = (M + m) g</span>

<span>d2∕d1 = (M + m)/g</span>

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

This means that Bubba’s mass is 120 kg.

Difference between pulling and pushing force​
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Push and pull both are forces , but the difference is in their direction at which it is applied . If the force applied in the direction of motion of the particle then we call it as push . If that force applied in the direction OPPOSITE to the motion of particle then it is termed as pull

A commuter backs her car out of her garage with an acceleration of 1.40 m/s^2. (a) How long does it take her to reach a speed of
jonny [76]

Answer:

a) It takes her 1.43 s to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s.

b) Her deceleration is - 2.50 m/s²

Explanation:

The equation of velocity for an object that moves in a straight line with constant acceleration is as follows:

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

v = velocty.

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time.

a) Using the equation of velocity, let´s consider that the car moves in the positive direction. Then:

v = v0 + a · t

2.00 m/s = 0 m/s + 1.40 m/s² · t

t = 2.00 m/s / 1.40 m/s²

t = 1.43 s

It takes her 1.43 s to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s

b) Let´s use again the equation of velocity, knowing that at t = 0.800 s the velocity is 0 m/s:

v = v0 + a · t

0 = 2.00 m/s + a · 0.800 s

-2.00 m/s / 0.800 s = a

a = -2.50 m/s²

Her deceleration is - 2.50 m/s²

A mechanical wave starts when matter is disturbed by a source of ______.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

MATERIAL MEDIUM

Explanation:

Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfer energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. The two forms of wave are the mechanical wave and the electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical wave is a wave with requires MATERIAL MEDIUM for its propagation. This means that before wave can be propagated at times, material medium is needed e.g a ripple tank. A ripple tank is a mechanical device that generates waves using an instrument called stroboscope attached to it. This kind of wave requires an external source before it can propagate compared to electromagnetic waves that does not require material medium for its propagation.
