Answer:

The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850

Specific gravity is given as;

$specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3$

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

$= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}$

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

A car is traveling at an average speed of 70 m/s. How many km would the car travel in 6.5 hrs. ?

docker41 [41]

Answer:

<h2>38,769.23 miles</h2>

Explanation:

given:

A car is traveling at an average speed of 70 m/s.

find:

How many km would the car travel in 6.5 hrs. ?

solution:

distance = velocity over time

let velocity = 70 m/s

time = 6.5 hrs.

convert velocity 70 m/s into m/h for consistency of units.

<u>70 mi. </u> x <u>3600 sec.</u> = 252,000 mi/hour

sec. 1 hr.

now plugin values into the formula d = v/t

d = <u>252,000 miles/hour </u>

6.5 hours

d = 38,769.23 miles

therefore, the distance travelled in 6.5 hours with a speed of 70 m/s is 38,769.23 miles

You stand on a frictional platform that is rotating at 1.1 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you hold a heavy weight in eac

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

a) The resulting angular speed of platform is 1.38 rev/sec

b) The change in kinetic energy of the system is 53 J.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. The complete question will be:

You stand on a frictional platform that is rotating at 1.1 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you hold a heavy weight in each hand. The moment of inertia of you, the extended weights, and the platform is 8.8 kg · m2. When you pull the weights in toward your body, the moment of inertia decreases to 7.0 k g .m 2

a) What is the resulting angular speed of the platform? Answer in units of r e v / s .

b)What is the change in kinetic energy of the system? Answer in units of J.

<h3>ANSWER:</h3>

we know that:

Angular Momentum = L = Iω

From conservation of momentum:

Lo = Lf

(Io) (ωo) = (If) (ωf)

ωf = (Io) (ωo)/(If)

ωf = (8.8 kg.m²)(1.1 rev/s)/(7.0 kg.m²)

ωf = (1.38 rev/sec)(2π rad/ 1 rev) = 8.67 rad/sec

ωo = (1.1 rev/sec)(2π rad/ 1 rev) = 6.91 rad/sec

The kinetic energy for rotational motion is given as:

K.E = (1/2)Iω²

Thus, the change in kinetic energy will be:

ΔK.E = (K.E)f - (K.E)o

ΔK.E = (1/2)Ifωf² - (1/2)Ioωo²

ΔK.E = (1/2)(Ifωf² - Ioωo²)

ΔK.E = (1/2)[(7 kg.m²)(8.67 rad/sec)² - (8.8 kg.m²)(6.91 rad/sec)²

What is the approximate value of the gravitational force between a 73 kg astronaut and a 7.1×104 kg spacecraft when they're 89 m

Luden [163]

Answer:

$F = 4.3671 * 10^{-8}\ Newtons$

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two corpses is given by the following equation:

$F = GMm/d^2$

Where F is the force, G is the gravitational constant

( $G = 6.67408*10^{-11}\ m^3kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ ), M and m are the masses of the corpses and d is the distance between them.

So we have that:

$F = 6.67408*10^{-11} * 7.1*10^4 * 73/89^2$

$F = 4.3671 * 10^{-8}\ Newtons$

Is it proper to use an infinitely long cylinder model when finding the temperatures near the bottom or top surfaces of a cylinde

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

No, it is not proper to use an infinitely long cylinder model when finding the temperatures near the bottom or top surfaces of a cylinder.

Explanation:

A cylinder is said to be infinitely long when is of a sufficient length. Also, when the diameter of the cylinder is relatively small compared to the length, it is called infinitely long cylinder.

Cylindrical rods can also be treated as infinitely long when dealing with heat transfers at locations far from the top or bottom surfaces. However, it not proper to treat the cylinder as being infinitely long when:

* When the diameter and length are comparable (i.e have the same measurement)

When finding the temperatures near the bottom or top of a cylinder, it is NOT PROPER TO USE AN INFINITELY LONG CYLINDER because heat transfer at those locations can be two-dimensional.

Therefore, the answer to the question is NO, since it is not proper to use an infinitely long cylinder when finding temperatures near the bottom or top of a cylinder.
