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

The equation for the speed of an electromagnetic wave is
igomit [66]

Answer:

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

Explanation:

The speed of the electromagnetic wave in free space is given in terms of the permeability and the permittivity of free space by

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

where the permeability of free space (μ₀) is a physical constant used often in electromagnetism and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (a physical constant).

What is the definition of matter
xeze [42]
The definition of matter is physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit that which occupies space and possesses rest mass, especially as distinct from energy, which basically means that matter makes up the whole Earth and everything on it. <span />

How do you know that a chemical change has happened
Elodia [21]

Answer:

theres is many states of chemical change but its not exaclty the same as physical the appearence might change alittle but chemical like frying a egg is a chemical change because a change of materials into another, new materials with different properties and one or more than one new substances are formed and the subtance changeing or the materials can show chemical changed happened you cant always see it but touching too like heat energy can show a chemical change

i hope this helps and keep ur grades up :)

A 5.00 kg crate is suspended from the end of a short vertical rope of negligible mass. An upward force F(t) is applied to the en
Brut [27]

Answer:

75 N

Explanation:

In this problem, the position of the crate at time t is given by

y(t)=2.80t+0.61t^3

The velocity of the crate vs time is given by the derivative of the position, so it is:

v(t)=y'(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(2.80t+0.61t^3)=2.80+1.83t^2

Similarly, the acceleration of the crate vs time is given by the derivative of the velocity, so it is:

a(t)=v'(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(2.80+1.83t^2)=3.66t [m/s^2]

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force acting on the crate is equal to the product between mass and acceleration, so:

F(t)=ma(t)

where

m = 5.00 kg is the mass of the crate

At t = 4.10 s, the acceleration of the crate is

a(4.10)=3.66\cdot 4.10 =15.0 m/s^2

And therefore, the force on the crate is:

F=ma=(5.00)(15.0)=75 N
