Answer:

w_bear = 7175.95 N ,   m = 732.24 kg

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation a bit, the ice block is in equilibrium with the thrust given by Archimedes' law that is directed towards the bottom, the weight of the ice and the weight of the bear.

           B -W_ice - w_bear = 0

           w_bear = B - W_ice

The thrust is given by

           B = ρ g V

           B = 1025 9.8 6.78

           B = 68 105.1 N

Note that we use the total volume of the block since the problem indicates that it is submerged.

The weight of the ice is

           W_ice = m g

     

the density is

          ρ_ice = m_ice / V

          m_ice = rho_ice V

we substitute

          W_ice = ρ_ice g V

           W_ice = 917 9.8 6.78

           W_ice = 60929.15 N

we substitute in the first equation

             w_bear = 68105.1 - 60929.15

              w_bear = 7175.95 N

the mass of this bear is

               w_bear = m g

               m = w_bear / g

               m = 7175.95 / 9.8

               m = 732.24 kg

What is the portion of an electric circuit that is being powered​
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Component

Explanation:

All circuits have some basic parts, called components. One component is the power source, also called a voltage source. The power source is what pushes the electricity through the circuit.

01. Um carrinho de massa 10 kg é empurrado, horizontalmente, sobre uma superfície plana horizontal, com força constante de 20 N.
Lostsunrise [7]

Responder:

<h2>D. 1.5m / s² </h2>

Explicación:

Usaremos la segunda ley de movimiento de Newton para resolver esta pregunta. De acuerdo con el teorema

es la suma de las fuerzas que actúan sobre el cuerpo a lo largo de la horizontal. Las dos fuerzas son la fuerza móvil (Fm) y la fuerza de fricción (Ff).

Fm = 20 N y Ff = 5 N

\sum Fx = ma_x\\\sum Fx = Fm - Ff\\\sum Fx  = 20N - 5N\\\sum Fx  = 15N

m es la masa del cuerpo = 10 kg

El parámetro requerido es cuál es la aceleración del cuerpo a lo largo de la horizontal.

De la ecuación 1;

a_x = \sum Fx/m\\\\a_x = 15/10\\\\a_x = 1.5m/s^2

Por lo tanto, la aceleración del carro es de 1.5 m / s²

The inner and outer surfaces of a 5m x 6m brick wall of thickness 30 cm and thermal conductivity 0.69 w/m.0 c are maintained at
Volgvan
The working equation to be used here is written below:

Q = kA(T₁ - T₂)/Δx
where
Q is the rate of heat transfer
k is the heat transfer coefficient
A is the cross-sectional area of the wall
T₁ - T₂ is the temperature difference between the sides of the wall
Δx is the thickness of the wall

The solution is as follows:

Q = (0.69 W/m²·°C)(5 m × 6 m)(50°C - 20°C)/(30 cm * 1 m/100 cm)
Q = 2,070 W/m
