Answer:

The volume of water displaced by the raft is 0.233 m³

Explanation:

The question relates to Archimedes' principle which states that the buoyant force experienced by an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of (the force of gravity on) the displaced fluid

The given parameters are;

The combined mass of the person and the raft, m = 233 kg

The liquid on which the raft is located = Water

The density of water, $\rho _{water}$ = 1000 kg/m³

Weight = Mass, m × g

Where;

m = The mass of the object

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Given that the raft is on the surface of the water (floating), the buoyant force is equal to the combined weight of the person and the raft = 233 kg

The combined weight of the person and the raft, $W_{combined}$ = 233 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 2,283.4 N

Therefore;

The buoyant force = 2,283.4 N = The weight of the water displaced

The mass of the water displaced, $m_{water}$ , = 2,283.4 N/(9.8 m/s²) = 233 kg

Density = Mass/Volume

The volume of water displaced by the raft = The mass of the water displaced/(The density of the water) = 233 kg/(1,000 kg/m³) = 0.233 m³.

A lever allows a 35 N load to be lifted with a force of 7 N. What is the mechanical advantage of the lever?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer: MA = 5

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage is the ratio of the load to the effort. It is a measure of how efficient a simple machine is.

MA = Load/Effort

Load = 35N

Effort = 7N

Therefore

MA = 35N/7N

MA = 5

Since the mechanical advantage is more than 1, the lever is highly efficient as it allows a very small effort to overcome 5 times its magnitude of load.

Simple question please help! A ball is thrown 19.0 m/s at an angle of 40.0º with the horizontal. Assume the ball is thrown at gr

d1i1m1o1n [39]

a. 1.51 s

In this part of the problem, we are only interested in the horizontal motion of the ball. Along the horizontal direction, the motion of the ball is a uniform motion with constant velocity, which is equal to the horizontal component of the initial velocity:

$v_x = v_0 cos \theta = (19.0 m/s)(cos 40^{\circ})=14.6 m/s$

So, the ball travels horizontally at a speed of 14.6 m/s; in order to cover the distance of d = 22.0 m that separates it from the wall, the time need is

$t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{22.0 m}{14.6 m/s}=1.51 s$

b. 7.25 m

We now know that the ball takes 1.51 s to hit the wall, 22.0 away. Now we have to analyze the vertical motion of the ball, which is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g =9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (acceleration due to gravity).

The initial vertical velocity is

$v_{y0}=v_0 sin \theta=(19.0 m/s)(sin 40^{\circ})=12.2 m/s$

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by the equation

$y(t)=v_{0y} t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

We know that the ball hits the wall at t=1.51 s, so if we substitute this value into the previous formula, we find at what height y the ball hits the wall:

$y(1.51 s)=(12.2 m/s)(1.51 s)-\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(1.51 s)^2=7.25 m$
