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 .

When applying a horizontal force of 30N, an object of mass 6 kg accelerates at 4m/s2. The force of friction on the surface must
Rus_ich [418]
Using Newton's Second Law, F = ma, where F is the net force

So the net force is:

F = (6kg)(4m/s^2) = 24N

Since you are applying a horizontal force of 30N, we can find the force of friction by the difference of the net force and the applied force.

30N-24N = 6N

F_{f} = 6N

How does the law of inertia relate to how the planets in our solar system revolve around the sun?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The law of inertia relates to revolution of planets round the sun due to constant motion of the planets round the sun.

Explanation:

Law of inertia states that a body at rest or uniform motion will continue to be at rest or uniform motion unless it is acted upon by an external force.

The gravitational force keeps the planets revolving round the sun in a uniform motion, this will continue till infinity unless equal and opposite force acts on our planets.

Therefore, the law of inertia relates to revolution of planets round the sun due to constant motion of the planets round the sun.
