When a body is accelerated under water, some of the surrounding water is also accelerated. This makes the body appear to have a
larger mass than it actually has. For a sphere at rest this added mass is equal to the mass of one half of the displaced water. Calculate the force necessary to accelerate a 10 kg, 300-mm-diameter sphere which is at rest under water at the acceleration rate of 10 m/s2 in the horizontal direction. Use H2O
The manufacturer of a 9V dry-cell flashlight battery says that the battery will deliver 20 mA for 80 continuous hours. During that time the voltage will drop from 9V to 6V. Assume the drop in voltage is linear with time. How much energy does the battery deliver in this 80 h interval?
