How does object float

2 answers:

As you may know some objects float others do not, this is because some objects contain air or oxygen. for example an orange with a peel floats because the peal contains oxygen and an orange without a peel sinks because it does not contain air at oxygen

The object float under only one condition: its density is less than density of liquid. Metal ships can float just because it's mass divided by displaced volume (which in fact equals density) is less than water.

An 8 kg mass moving at 8 m/s collides with a 6 kg mass

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(8 kg)(8 m/s) + (6 kg)(6 m/s) = (8 kg)(5 m/s) + (6 kg) v

64 kg m/s + 36 kg m/s = 40 kg m/s + (6 kg) v

60 kg m/s = (6 kg) v

v = 10 m/s

A 460 g , 6.0-cm-diameter can is filled with uniform, dense food. It rolls across the floor at 1.1 m/s . Part A What is the can'

Reika [66]

Answer:

the can's kinetic energy is 0.42 J

Explanation:

given information:

Mass, m = 460 g = 0.46 kg

diameter, d = 6 cm, so r = d/2 = 6/2 = 3 cm = 0.03 m

velocity, v = 1.1 m/s

the kinetic energy of the can is the total of kinetic energy of the translation and rotational.

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ I ω^2 + $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

where

I = $\frac{1}{2} mr^{2}$ and ω = $\frac{v}{r}$

thus,

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{1}{2} mr^{2}$ ( $\frac{v}{r}$ )^2 + $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{1}{2} mr^{2}$ $\frac{v^{2} }{r^{2}}$ + $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{4} mv^{2}$ + $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

= $\frac{3}{4} mv^{2}$

= $\frac{3}{4} (0.46) (1.1)^{2}$

= 0.42 J

Ahmad is riding his bicycle. He finds that he can accelerate from rest at 0.44 m/s^2 for 5 s to reach a speed of 2.2 m/s. The to

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo is 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo is 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of Christian and his bicycle = 54 kg

The mass of the cargo = 12 kg

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = Mass of Christian and his bicycle × Acceleration due to gravity

∴ The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = 54 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo = (54 + 12) kg × 9.81 m/s² = 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo.

In the sport of parasailing, a person is attached to a rope being pulled by a boat while hanging from a parachute-like sail. A r

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

570 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram on the rider. There are three forces: tension force 15° below the horizontal, drag force 30° above the horizontal, and weight downwards.

The rider is moving at constant speed, so acceleration is 0.

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F cos 30° - T cos 15° = 0

F = T cos 15° / cos 30°

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

F sin 30° - W - T sin 15° = 0

W = F sin 30° - T sin 15°

Substituting:

W = (T cos 15° / cos 30°) sin 30° - T sin 15°

W = T cos 15° tan 30° - T sin 15°

W = T (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

Given T = 1900 N:

W = 1900 (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

W = 570 N

The rider weighs 570 N (which is about the same as 130 lb).
