How many forces are acting on a stationary raft floating in a swimming pool A1 B2 or C3

Physics

Hitman42 [59]3 years ago

There are at least two forces on it, and there could be more.

Vertical forces:
-- gravity, directed downward
-- buoyant force, directed upward
These two forces must be exactly equal, so that the net
vertical force on the raft is zero.  Otherwise, it would be
accelerating either up or down.

Horizontal forces:
We know that the net horizontal force on the raft is zero. 
Otherwise, it would be accelerating horizontally.

But we don't know if there are actually no horizontal forces
at all, or a balanced group of horizontal forces, that add up
to a net force of zero.

A ramp is used to load furniture onto a moving truck. The person does 1240 J of work pushing
Len [333]

Answer:

The efficiency of the ramp is, Eff = 6.63 %

Explanation:

Given,

The work done by the person pushing the furniture up the ramp is, W₁ = 1240 J

The work done by the ramp is, W₀ = 822 J

The efficiency of the ramp is given by the formula,

                                 <em> Eff = ( W₀ / W₁ ) x 100%</em>

                                        = ( 822 / 12400 ) x 100%

                                        = 6.63 %

Hence, the efficiency of the ramp is, Eff = 6.63 %

Basking in the sun, a 1.10 kg lizard lies on a flat rock tilted at an angle of 15.0° with respect to the horizontal. What is the
Ray Of Light [21]

10.4 N

Given

m = 1.10 kg

θ = 15.0°

g = 9.81 m/s2

Solution

Fnet, y = ΣF y = Fn − Fg, y = 0

Fn = Fg, y = Fg

cosθ = mgcosθ

Fn = (1.10 kg)(9.81 m/s2

)(cos15.0°) = 10.4 N

qwelly [4]

Answer:

You are right. It is reflected

Explanation:

if it is concave then the light is reflected at one direction.

if it is convex the light is reflected outwards and they will travel away from the focal point and the light scatters or will be reflected to different directions
