What weight of water is displaced by a 100-ton floating ship? What is the buoyant force that acts on this ship?

1 answer:

3 0

An object that weighs 100 tons and is floating is displacing exactly 100 tons of the fluid, and the buoyant force on it is 100 tons. The vertical forces on it are balanced (add up to zero), and that's why it isn't accelerating up or down.

The acceleration is the change of speed/velocity over time. Thus to calculate this you do (V1-V2)/T or (11.2-9.6)/4 or 0.4 m/s^2

Answer:

the correct answer is d

Explanation:

The laws of mechanics are related

F = m a

the acceleration of the body is given by the kinematics

a = $\frac{dv}{dt}$

v = $\frac{dx}{dt}$

substituting

a = \frac{d2x}{dt^2}

F = m $\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}$

Therefore, in order to obtain the force (interaction of a body), continuous curves are needed and derivable from the position and the speed, for which all change in the trajectory of a body must be smooth where smooth is understood to have until the second derived.

Consequently the correct answer is d

Action and Reaction are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.Then,Why do they not balance each other?

Ivan

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This indicates that forces always act in pairs. Reaction forces are equal and opposite, but they are not balanced forces because they act on different objects so they don't cancel each other out.

Light with a wavelength of about 490 nm is made to pass through a diffraction grating. the angle formed between the path of the

polet [3.4K]

The number of lines per mm in the diffraction grating is 326.

<h3>What is diffraction grating?</h3>

A diffraction grating is a type of optical instrument obtained with a continuous pattern. The pattern of the diffracted light by a grating depends on the structure and number of elements present.

The given data in the problem is

$\rm \theta$ is the angle formed between the path of the incident light and the diffracted light = 9. 2°

λ is the wavelength of the light=490nm=4.9

N is the number of lines per mm in the diffraction grating=?

n is ordered = 1

The formula for the diffraction grating is;

$n \lambda = d sin\theta \\\\ d = \frac{n \lambda}{sin \theta } \\\\ d = \frac{1 \times 4.90 \times 10^{-7}}{sin 9.2^0 } \\\\ d=3.06 \times 10^{-6} \\\\ d=3.06 \times 10^{-3} \ mm$

The number of lines per mm is found as;

$\rm N= \frac{1}{d} \\\\ N= \frac{1}{3.06 \TIMES 10^{-3}} \\\\ N=326.8 /mm$

Hence the number of lines per mm in the diffraction grating is 326.

Stand next to a wall that travels at 30 km/s relative to the Sun. With your feet on the ground, you also travel at the same 30 k

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Yes. Inertia keeps the speed maintained though my feet leave the ground.

Explanation:

Inertia is the resistance to the change in position of any object this means this resistance will keep me traveling at 30 km/s relative to the sun. If the person wants to change the position we apply force to do that because inertia is opposing us to not do that. We are always traveling with 30km/s relative to sun due to inertia.
