Answer:
True the plastic will float because of the principle of flotation or buoyancy
Explanation:
Buoyancy explains it all!!
Buoyancy is the upward force/upthrust experienced by a body immersed totally or partially in a liquid.
According to the principle of flotation:
<em>"when a body is totally or partially immersed in liquid it experiences an upthrust which is equal to the volume of fluid displaced"</em>
The plastic will float due to the fact the average density of the total volume of the plastic and the air inside it is less than the same volume of water it is floating in
I assume the 100 N force is a pulling force directed up the incline.
The net forces on the block acting parallel and perpendicular to the incline are
∑ F[para] = 100 N - F[friction] = 0
∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg cos(30°) = 0
The friction in this case is the maximum static friction - the block is held at rest by static friction, and a minimum 100 N force is required to get the block to start sliding up the incline.
Then
F[friction] = 100 N
F[normal] = mg cos(30°) = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s²) cos(30°) ≈ 84.9 N
If µ is the coefficient of static friction, then
F[friction] = µ F[normal]
⇒ µ = (100 N) / (84.9 N) ≈ 1.2
Momentum of car
Given: Mass m= 1,400 Kg; V = 6.0 m/s
Formula: P = mv
P = (1,400 Kg)(6.0 m/s)
P = 8,400 Kg.m/s
Velocity of the rider to have the same momentum as a car.
Mass of rider and bicycle m = 100 Kg
P = mv
V = P/m
V = 8,400 Kg.m/s/100 Kg
V = 84 m/s
