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

1 answer:

3 0

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 15.0 kg turntable with a radius of 25 cm is covered with a uniform layer of dry ice that has a mass of 9.0 kg. The angular spe

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

ω₂=1.20

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the turn table ,M= 15 kg

mass of the ice ,m= 9 kg

radius ,r= 25 cm

Initial angular speed ,ω₁ = 0.75 rad/s

Initial mass moment of inertia

$I_1=\dfrac{M+m}{2}r^2$

$I_1=\dfrac{15+9}{2}\times 0.25^2\ kg.m^2$

$I_1=0.75\ kg.m^2$

Final mass moment of inertia

$I_2=\dfrac{M}{2}r^2$

$I_2=\dfrac{15}{2}\times 0.25^2\ kg.m^2$

$I_2=0.468\ kg.m^2$

Lets take final speed of the turn table after ice evaporated =ω₂ rad/s

Now by conservation angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ =ω₂ I₂

$\omega_2=\dfrac{0.75\times 0.75}{0.468}\ rad/s$

ω₂=1.20

A soccer player kicks a soccer ball with a force of 1.8 N. If the mass of the ball is .43 kg. How fast will the ball accelerate?

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The acceleration of the ball is 4.18 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

By Newton's second law we can find the acceleration of the ball

$F = m*a\\where:\\F = force applied [N] or [kg*m/s^2]\\m = mass of the ball [kg]\\a = acceleration [m/s^s]$

Now we have:

$a = F/m\\a = \frac{1.8 [kg*m/s^s]}{0.43[kg]} \\a = 4.18 [kg]$

Why do astronomers believe that triton is a captured moon?

Dafna11 [192]

Answer: Accoding to research "Triton is unique among all the large moons in the solar system because it orbits Neptune in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation (a "retrograde" orbit). It is unlikely to have formed in this configuration and was probably captured from elsewhere."

A car is traveling at 10 m/s. 10 seconds later the car is traveling 40 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?

ratelena [41]

Answer:

a = 3 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vi = 10 m/s

Vf = 40 m/s

t = 10 s

Plug those values into the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at

40 = 10 + 10a

---> a = 3 m/s^2
