The density of ice is 917 kg/m^3, and the density of sea water is 1025 kg/m^3. A swimming polar bear climbs onto a piece of floa

ting ice that has a volume of 6.78 m^3. What is the weight of the heaviest bear that the ice can support without sinking completely beneath the water?

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

A football is kicked from the ground with a velocity of 38m/s at an angle of 40 degrees and eventually lands at the same height.
Anastasy [175]

Initially, the velocity vector is \langle 38cos(40^{\circ}),38sin(40^{\circ}) \rangle=\langle 29.110, 24.426 \rangle. At the same height, the x-value of the vector will be the same, and the y-value will be opposite (assuming no air resistance). Assuming perfect reflection off the ground, the velocity vector is the same. After 0.2 seconds at 9.8 seconds, the y-value has decreased by 4.9(0.2)^2, so the velocity is \langle 29.110, 24.426-0.196 \rangle = \langle 29.110, 24.23 \rangle.

Converting back to direction and magnitude, we get \langle r,\theta \rangle=\langle \sqrt{29.11^2+24.23^2},tan^{-1}(\frac{29.11}{24.23}) \rangle = \langle 37.87,50.2^{\circ}\rangle

A pendulum is transported from sea-level, where the acceleration due to gravity g is 9.80 m/s2, to the bottom of Death Valley. A
tatyana61 [14]

Answer: the value of g in Death Valley is 10.417 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

acceleration due to gravity at the point is g = 9.8 m/s²

Lets say the acceleration due to gravity at the bottom of Death valley is g'

as the period of the pendulum is decreased by 3.00%

T' = 0.97 T  

T is the period of the pendulum at sea level  and T' is the period of the pendulum at bottom of Death valley

therefore from the relation

T = 2π√(l/g)

g'/g = T²/T'²

g' = (T²/ (0.97T)²)g

g' = 1.063g

g' = 10.417 m/s²

therefore the value of g in Death Valley is 10.417 m/s²

Describe an example of newton’s 3rd law of motion
professor190 [17]

Answer:

For example, when you jump, your legs apply a force to the ground, and the ground applies and equal and opposite reaction force that propels you into the air. Engineers apply Newton's third law when designing rockets and other projectile devices.
