What is the maximum mass that can hang without sinking from a 50-cm diameter Styrofoam sphere in water

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Styrofoam has a density of 32kg/m³.

What is the maximum mass that can hang without sinking from a 50-cm diameter Styrofoam sphere in water

Answer: the required maximum mass is 63.3459 kg

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter d = 50 cm = 0.5 m

radius r = 0.5 / 2 = 0.25 m

Styrofoam density = 32kg/m³

Volume of sphere V = 4/3 πr³.

we substitute

V = 4/3 π(0.25)³

V = 0.06544 m³

Mass of sphere M = Volume × Density

we substitute

Mass of sphere M = 0.06544 m³ × 32kg/m³

Mass of Sphere M = 2.09408 kg

Mass of the water it displace will be;

volume × density

we know that density of water = 1000 kg/m³

so

Mass of the water it displace = 0.06544 m³ × 1000kg/m³

= 65.44 kg

Now the difference between mass of water and mass of the Styrofoam will be the amount of mass that the sphere can support

so

65.44 kg - 2.09408 kg = 63.3459 kg

Therefore, the required maximum mass is 63.3459 kg

A fan cart with the fan set to high rolled across the floor. The cart's speeds with the fan on high are shown below. If the fan
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Speed of cart's might be less than the high speed after 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

A fan cart with the fan set to high rolled across the floor.

Let the speed of fan cart with set to high is x\ cm per second.

The fan supplies a force to the cart. If a lower fan speed were used, less force would be applied. This would cause a slower change in the cart's speed. So, the cart would be rolling more slowly than x\ cm per second after 5 seconds. The speed of cart's might be less than x\ cm per second.

Force is needed

A. for a moving object to keep moving at the same speed and direction

B. for a moving object to change its speed

C. for a motionless object to remain still

D. to prevent a moving object from turning

Hence,

Speed of cart's might be less than the high speed after 5 seconds.

Two ice skaters stand together. They push off and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.35 m/s
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

-0.55m/s

Explanation:

Given that: For the boy

Weight = 745N

Velocity = +0.35 m/s

Mass of the boy = ?

g = 9.81m/s^2

W = mg

745 = m×9.81

m = 75.94kg

For the girl

Given that:

Weight = 477 N

g = 9.81m/s^2

m = ?

W = mg

477 = m×9.81m/s^2

m = 48.62kg

To solve for the v of the girl, the two has to add up

48.62kg×v + 75.94kg×+0.35 m/s = 0

48.62v + 26.579 = 0

48.62v = - 26.579

v = -26.579/48.62

v = -0.5466

v = -0.55m/s

Hence, the velocity of the girl is -0.55m/s.

The negative sign is as a result of the two of them moving is opposite direction.

What is the acceleration of a ball traveling horizontally with an initial velocity of 20 meters/second and, 2.0 seconds later, a
Nutka1998 [239]

The acceleration of the ball is 5 m/s^2. This can be calculated using a formula that relates the change in velocity, acceleration, and time. This formula is:

Vf = Vi + at

where:
Vf = final velocity
Vi = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

Substituting the values gives:

30 = 20 + a(2)

Rob is studying for an exam. He listed some properties of magnets in a Maglev train.
fredd [130]
The answer is the third one. Maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation in which trains skim on a guideway utilizing the guideline of attractive shock. Every magnet has two shafts. Presently in the event that you play with two magnets, you'll understand that inverse shafts pull in, though comparable posts repulse. This shocking property of magnets is utilized as a part of Maglev trains. However,instead of utilizing lasting magnets, the standard of electromagnetism is utilized to make solid and huge impermanent magnets. At the point when an electric current is gone through a loop of wire, attractive field is created around the curl as indicated by Faraday's laws.
