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+20 N force acts on a car and at the same time, a -30 N force acts on the
katovenus [111]

Answer:

-10 N, not balanced

Explanation:

Force is a vector quantity, so in order to find the net force on an object, we must use vector addition rule.

This means that if two forces acting on an object along the same line, we have to choose one direction as positive, and write the two forces with the correct sign.

In this problem, we have two forces acting along a line on the car:

- A first force of

F_1 = +20 N

- A second force of

F_2=-30 N

Therefore, the net force on the car is:

\sum F=F_1+F_2=+20 +(-30)=-10 N

Moreover, the net force on an object is said to be "balanced" if it is zero: in this case, it is not zero, so it is not balanced.

The low areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions
qwelly [4]

The answer is; pressure

The sound is a longitudinal wave meaning the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves, therefore, produce compression (akin to the crest in a transverse wave) and rarefaction regions (akin to a trough in a transverse wave) as its energy is propagated in the medium.

A particle travels in a circle of radius 76 cm and completes one revolution in 4.5 s. What is the centripetal acceleration of th
Dimas [21]

r = radius of the circle traveled by the particle = 76 cm = 0.76 m

T = time period of revolution for the particle = 4.5 s

w = angular velocity of the particle

angular velocity of the particle is given as

w = 2π/T

inserting the values

w = 2 (3.14)/4.5

w = 1.4 rad/s

a = centripetal acceleration of the particle in the circle

centripetal acceleration is given as

a = r w²

inserting the values

a = (0.76) (1.4)²

a = 1.5 m/s²
