Answer:

The volume of water displaced the same as the volume of the block.

Explanation:

With respect to the principle of floatation, when an object floats in a fluid; its weight is the same as the volume of the fluid displaced.

The volume of the block relates to is dimension and size which can be compared with the volume of the fluid displaced. When the block is floats in water, it would displace a reasonable volume of water.  Thus, it would be expected that the volume of water displaced by the block is equal to the volume of the block.

A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function vx =2t2m/s, where t is in s. Its initial position
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

In point a:

Place of particles

X(t)=\int V_{x}(t)dt

       =\int 2t^{2}dt\\\\=\frac{2}{3}t^{3}+C

\to t=0\\\\ \to X(0)=2.3 \ m

\to X(0)=0+C\\\\ \to C=2.3\  m

\to X(t)=( \frac{2}{3})t^3 + 2.3\\\\ \to t=2.2\\\\\to X=( \frac{2}{3})\times 2.2^3 +2.3 \\\\

        = \frac{2}{3}\times 10.648 +2.3\\\\= \frac{21.296}{3}+2.3\\\\  = 7.09+2.3\\\\ =9.39\\\\ =9.4\ m

In point b:

when t=2.2 \ s

the Particle velocity  (V)=2 \times 2.22 =9.68\  \frac{m}{s}

In point c:

Calculating the Particle acceleration:

\to a=\frac{dV}{dt} =4\ t\\\\\to t=2.2 \ s\\\\\to a=4\times 2.2  =8.8 \ \frac{m}{s^2}

A slingshot is fired with an initial velocity of 100 m/s at an angle of 55° follows a parabolic trajectory and hits a stationary
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The horizontal speed with which the slingshot hits the balloon is approximately 57.358 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the slingshot motion are;

The initial velocity of the slingshot, v = 100 m/s

The angle (to the horizontal) at which the slingshot is fired makes, θ = 55°

The path of the slingshot which hits the stationary balloon at the top of its flight = Parabolic trajectory

The horizontal component of the velocity = vₓ = v·cos(θ) = Constant

vₓ = 100 × cos(55°) ≈ 57.358

The horizontal speed with which the slingshot hits the balloon = vₓ ≈ 57.358 m/s.

An archer shot a 0.06 kg arrow at a target. The arrow accelerated at 5,000 m/s2 to reach a speed of 50.0 m/s as it left the bow.
laila [671]

Answer:

300 N

Explanation:

The net force acting on the arrow is given by Newton's Second Law:

F=ma

where

m = 0.06 kg is the mass of the arrow

a = 5,000 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the arrow

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

F=(0.06 kg)(5,000 m/s^2)=300 N

Light from a 504-nm monochromatic source is incident upon the surface of fused quartz (n = 1.56) at an angle of 17°. What is the
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

73 degree

Explanation:

Angle of incidence = 17 degree

According to the laws of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

So, angle of reflection = 17 degree

Angle from the surface = 90 - 17 = 73 degree
