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.

If you toss a ball vertically upward in a uniformly moving train, it returns to its starting place. Will it do the same if the t

gogolik [260]

Answer:No

Explanation:

As the train is accelerating so train velocity will be more as compared to the ball and thus will cover more distance as compared to the ball.

When the ball is thrown upward with some velocity, it also possesses the train velocity at the time of throwing but as time passes velocity of train increases due to acceleration of the train. This causes the ball to fall behind the point of launch.

Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1200 kg and was approaching at

igomit [66]

To resolve point A and B we need the concepts related to conservation of momentum (By collision) and Kinetic Energy. Conservation of momentum is given by the equation,

$m_1\vec{v_1}+m_2\vec{v_2} = (m_1+m_2)\vec{v}$

Our values in the statment are:

$m_1 = 1200kg$

$v_1 = 6m/s$

$m_2 = 900kg$

$v_2 = 24m/s$

Part A) As it is in an icy intersection, there is two different components (x,y) then,

$1200(-6\hat{j})+900(-24\hat{i}) = (1200+900)\vec{v}$

$2100\vec{v} = -21600\hat{i}-7200\hat{j}$

$\vec{v} = -72/7\hat{i}-24/7\hat{j}$

Then the magnitude is,

$|\vec{v}| = 9.6525m/s$

Part B) To obtain the Kinetic Energy Loss we need to use its equation, which is given by,

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2}(1200)(6)^2+\frac{1}{2}(900)(24)^2$

$KE_i = 280.8kJ$

The final energy is given by,

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v_f^2$

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (1200+900)(9.65)$

$KE_f =97778.625J$

Then the change in Kinetic Energy is

$\Delta KE = KE_f-KE_i = 97.778kJ- 280.8kJ$

$\Delta KE = -183.02kJ$

<em>There was a loss of KE of 183.02kJ</em>
