While driving his 600-kg ultra-compact electric car, a distracted driver starts crossing a drawbridge. Not realizing that the dr

awbridge is about to open, he ends up in the river below with his car. Fortunately the car stayed afloat for a while and he is able to escape before it starts sinking. (a) If the volume of the interior is 2.0 m3, what fraction of the car is immersed while it floats? (b) Eventually, water starts to leak in and gradually fills the car. What is the mass of the water that entered the car when the car starts to sinks? Density of water is 1000 kg/m3.

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

weight of car = 600 kg .

According to Archimedes principle , for free floatation ,

weight of car = weight of displaced water

600 x 9.8 = v x 10³ x 9.8 , v is volume of water displaced and 10³ kg/ m³ is density of water.

v = .6 m³

required fraction

= .6 / 2

= .3

b )

Let mass of water entering before the start of sinking of car .

mass of maximum displaced volume of water by car = 2 x 10³m³.

(600 + m ) x g = 2 x 10³ x g         [   10³ is density of water    ]

600 + m = 2000

m = 1400 kg .

A body with a mass of 2,000 kg is lifted to a height of 15 m within a time of 15 s. Which one of the following statements concer
Aleksandr [31]
<span>So we want to know which statement is true for the body of mass m=2000kg that is lifted to a height of h=15m in t=15 s. Lets calculate each of the following: Gravity force on the body is F=m*g=2000*9.81=19620 N so a is FALSE. Potential energy of the body when it is lifted to the height of 15 m is Ep=m*g*h=2000*9.81*15=294300 J so b is FALSE. Work to lift the body is: W=Fg*h=2000*9.81*15= Ep=294300 J so c is FALSE. Power P=W/t=294300/15=19620 W So d is TRUE. </span>

Mention one life application on density ​
kow [346]

One well-known application of density is determining whether or not an object will float on water. If the object's density is less than the density of water, it will float; if its density is less than that of water, it will sink.In fact, submarines dive below the surface of the water by emptying their ballast tanks

An inductor has inductance of 0.260 H and carries a current that is decreasing at a uniform rate of 18.0 mA/s.
nignag [31]

Answer:

The self-induced emf in this inductor is 4.68 mV.

Explanation:

The emf in the inductor is given by:

\epsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt}

Where:

dI/dt: is the decreasing current's rate change = -18.0 mA/s (the minus sign is because the current is decreasing)

L: is the inductance = 0.260 H

So, the emf is:

\epsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt} = -0.260 H*(-18.0 \cdot 10^{-3} A/s) = 4.68 \cdot 10^{-3} V

Therefore, the self-induced emf in this inductor is 4.68 mV.  

I hope it helps you!
