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.

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, intending to head due north at 6.5 m/s relative to the water. However, the loc

sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of ship with respect to water = 6.5 m/s due north

$\overrightarrow{v}_{s,w}=6.5 \widehat{j}$

velocity of water with respect to earth = 1.5 m/s at 40° north of east

$\overrightarrow{v}_{w,e}=1.5\left ( Cos40\widehat{i} +Sin40\widehat{j}\right)$

velocity of ship with respect to water = velocity of ship with respect to earth - velocity of water with respect to earth

$\overrightarrow{v}_{s,w} = \overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} - \overrightarrow{v}_{w,e}$

$\overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} = 6.5 \widehat{j}- 1.5\left (Cos40\widehat{i} +Sin40\widehat{j} \right )$

$\overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} = - 1.15 \widehat{i}+5.54\widehat{j}$

The magnitude of the velocity of ship relative to earth is $\sqrt{1.15^{2}+5.54^{2}}$ = 5.66 m/s

Explain why a person who has runny nose is unable to detect smells clearly.

Orlov [11]

If you have a runny nose then the mucus will block the path that smell goes through. So if you are trying to smell a flower then you will have a hard time because the mucus is in the way, or blocking the entrance path. Hope this helps:)

Can something have energy without having momentum? explain. can something have momentum without having energy? defend your answe

marta [7]

Momentum is a product mass and velocity. If a certain object posses a kinetic energy, then it should have a momentum since it is moving which has a velocity. However, if the object is at rest and only has potential energy, then it would not have momentum. So, for the first question the answer would be yes, an object can have energy without having any momentum. For the second question, every object whether it is moving or at rest, possess some energy, potential for an object at rest and kinetic for an object that is moving. Thus, the answer would be no, an object having momentum would always have energy.

The net horizontal force on a car is 981 N. The car has a mass of 1550 kg and the force is applied when the car has a speed of 2

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Distance, d = 778.05 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the car, F = 981 N

Mass of the car, m = 1550 kg

Initial speed of the car, v = 25 mi/h = 11.17 m/s

We need to find the distance covered by car if the force continues to be applied to the car. Firstly, lets find the acceleration of the car:

$F=ma\\\\a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{981}{1550}\\\\a=0.632\ m/s^2$

Let d is the distance covered by car. Using second equation of motion as :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=11.17\times 35+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.632\times (35)^2\\\\d=778.05\ m$

So, the car will cover a distance of 778.05 meters.
