A supertanker filled with oil has a total mass of 6.1 x108 kg. If the dimensions of the ship are those of a rectangular box 300
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The bottom of the sea is 25 m below sea level.

Explanation:

Given data

Mass = 6.1 × 10^{8} \ kg

\rho_{sea} = 1020\  \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

We know that Buoyant force on the tank is equal to gravity force of the tank.

F_B = F_g

(\rho_{Fluid}) (g) (V_{disp}) = m g

(\rho_{Fluid})  (V_{disp}) = m

1020 × V_{disp} = 6.1 × 10^{8}

V_{disp} = 598039.21 m^{3}

We know that

V_{disp} = W × L × H

598039.21 = 300 × 80 × H

H = 25 m

Therefore the bottom of the sea is 25 m below sea level.

A tow truck drags a stalled car along a road. The chain makes an angle of 30???? with the road and the tension in the chain is 1
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: work = 1,305kJ

Explanation:

angle= 30°

force= 1,500N

distance= 1,000m

The formula for work is : Work= force x distance, however there is an angle of 30° between the direction of force applied and the direction of motion, therefore force must be decomposed to its value on the horizontal axis which is the direction of motion by using the cosine of the very angle.

W= F×cos(α)×D

W= 1,500×cos (30)×1,000

W= 1,305kJ ( kilojoules)

A 160.-kilogram space vehicle is traveling along a straight line at a constant speed of 800. Meters per second. The magnitude of
natulia [17]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

As force acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

Acceleration is equal to rate of change in velocity.

Here velocity is constant so acceleration is zero.

It means the net force acting on the vehicle is zero.

How are longitudinal and transverse waves different?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the wave. On the other hand, a transverse wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is at a right angle to the wave direction.

Complete the following sentence: The term coherence relates to the phase relationship between two waves. the polarization state
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

<em>the phase relationship between two waves.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Coherence describes all properties of the correlation between physical quantities between waves. It is an ideal property of waves that determines their interference. In a situation in which there is a correlation or phase relationship between two waves. If the properties of one of the waves can be measure directly, then, some of the properties of the other wave can be calculated.
