The buoyant force on a floating object is equal to the object's weight.

So the vertical forces on the object are balanced. That's a big part
of the reason why it's just sitting there and not accelerating up or down.

Define moment of momentum. at which condition is it's magnitude zero?

ololo11 [35]

Let's start with the concept of momentum. What is it? Linear momentum in physics is mathematically written as a product of mass and velocity of an object. Now let us suppose a body of mass m is moving in an inertial frame of reference with velocity v. Consider the fact that no external force is acting on the system. The momentum of this body is given by mv, where m is the mass and v is its velocity. In case of simple real world problems not delving into the realms of relativity, mass is a conserved quantity and it cannot be zero. Hence the velocity of the body must be zero and hence the momentum.

However, photons are considered to have a rest mass zero.

However note the point carefully "rest mass". A body in motion cannot have mass to be zero.

A large solar panel on a spacecraft in Earth orbit produces 1.0 kW of power when the panel is turned toward the sun. What power

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

e*P_s = 11 W

Explanation:

Given:

- e*P = 1.0 KW

- r_s = 9.5*r_e

- e is the efficiency of the panels

Find:

What power would the solar cell produce if the spacecraft were in orbit around Saturn

Solution:

- We use the relation between the intensity I and distance of light:

I_1 / I_2 = ( r_2 / r_1 ) ^2

- The intensity of sun light at Saturn's orbit can be expressed as:

I_s = I_e * ( r_e / r_s ) ^2

I_s = ( 1.0 KW / e*a) * ( 1 / 9.5 )^2

I_s = 11 W / e*a

- We know that P = I*a, hence we have:

P_s = I_s*a

P_s = 11 W / e

Hence, e*P_s = 11 W

A soccer ball is released from rest at the top of a grassy incline. After 6.2 seconds, the ball travels 47 meters. One second la

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

(a) a = 2.44 m/s²

(b) s = 63.24 m

Explanation:

(a)

We will use the second equation of motion here:

$s = v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where,

s = distance covered = 47 m

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time taken = 6.2 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

$47\ m = (0\ m/s)(6.2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}a(6.2\ s)^2\\\\a = \frac{2(47\ m)}{(6.2\ s)^2}$

a = 2.44 m/s²

(b)

Now, we will again use the second equation of motion for the complete length of the inclined plane:

$s = v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where,

s = distance covered = ?

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time taken = 7.2 s

a = acceleration = 2.44 m/s²

Therefore,

$s = (0\ m/s)(6.2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.44\ m/s^2)(7.2\ s)^2\\\\$

s = 63.24 m
