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 .

What is the most likely place for a star to begin to form?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Stars are born within the clouds of dust and scattered throughout most galaxies. Deep within these clouds, turbulence creates knots with enough mass to cause the gas and dust to collapse under its own gravitational force.

Two a.c V1=100sin(wt) and V2 = 150cos(wt) are fed into one circuit, determine the combined output of the two as a single a.c
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

V = 100sin(ωt) + 150cos(ωt)

let x = ωt

V = 100sin(x) + 150cos(x)

a maximum or minimum will occur when the derivative is zero

V' = 100cos(x) - 150sin(x)

0 = 100cos(x) - 150sin(x)

100cos(x) = 150sin(x)

100/150 = sin(x)/cos(x)

0.6667 = tan(x)

x = 0.588 rad

V = 100sin(0.588) + 150cos(0.588)

V = 180.27756

as the maximum will not occur until ωt = 0.588 radians, for a cosine function we subtract that amount as a phase angle φ

V = 180.3 cos(ωt - 0.588)

or as a sine function, the phase angle lags the cosine by a difference of π/2

V = 180.3sin(ωt - (0.588 - π/2)

V = 180.3sin(ωt + 0.983)

A 5 kg fish swimming at 1 m/s swallows an absentminded 500 g fish swimming toward it at a veloc- ity that brings both fish to a
morpeh [17]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of large fish, M = 5 Kg

speed of swimming, v' = 1 m/s

mass of small fish, m = 500 g = 0.5 Kg

speed of the fish = v

using conservation of momentum

m v + M v' = M u' + m u

final speed of both the speed is zero.

- 0.5 x v + 5 x 1  = 0

negative sign is used because small fish is moving in opposite direction.

now,

0.5 v = 5

v = 10 m/s

hence, the speed of the small fish is equal to 10 m/s.
