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 .

With what minimum speed must you toss a 110 g ball straight up to just touch the 11-m-high roof of the gymnasium if you release
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

 v = 13.79 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of ball = 110 g

height = 11 m

ball is released from = 1.3 m

minimum speed = ?

using conservation of energy

Potential energy is conserved in the form of kinetic energy

P E =KE

m g h= \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v^2 = 2 g h

v=\sqrt{2 g h}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times (11-1.3)}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 9.7}

v=\sqrt{190.12}

       v = 13.79 m/s

How much kinetic energy does a 1500 kg car have if it’s moving at 15 m/s
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Mass of car m = 1500 kg

velocity v = 15 m/s

kinetic energy = ½ mv2

= ½ x 1500 x (15)2    

= 1687501   kg m2 /s2

  = 168750J

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer Group of answer choices it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely

Explanation:

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer  it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely. This done because there is a small bend in the mercury channel of a clinical thermometer that uses mercury. You must shake the thermometer to get the mercury from a previous reading from the thermometer back into the bulb for taking new reading. The bend prevents flow back into the tube so that one can comfortably take reading.
