Answer:

0.87

Explanation:

To solve this, we use the principle of Archimedes. Archimedes Principal of flotation states that "the buoyant force of an object is equal to the total weight of the fluid it displaces."

In the attachment, I stated the mathemacal formula, of which

F(B) = The buoyant force

w(fl) = The weight of the salt water displaced

p(iron) = density of iron

p(salt) = density of the salt water = 1025 kg/m³

F' = weight of the iron in air

F = weight of the iron in salt water

p(man) = density of man = 7680 kg/m³

The rest are the easy calculations done by substituting the values

frutty [35]

Answer:

Velocity=1.1m/s

Amplitude=0.35m

Explanation:

Given:

time 't' = 2.9s

wavelength 'λ'= 5.5m

distance 'd'=0.7m

The time period 't' is the time b/w two successive waves. Therefore, the time it takes from the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest is a half period.

So, T = 2 x 2.9 => 5.8 s

As we know that frequency is the reciprocal of time period, we have

f= 1/T = 1/5.8 =>0.2 Hz

In order to find how fast are the waves traveling, the velocity is given by

Velocity = f λ

V= 0.2 x 5.5 =>1.1m/s

The distance between the boat's highest point to its lowest point is double the amplitude.

Therefore , we can write

Amplitude 'A'= d/2 =>0.7/2 =>0.35m

How many times should the power develop by the engine of a ship increases to double is velocity i the resistance of the water to

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

If the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

Explanation:

ship power is roughly proportional to the cube of the speed, so

P ∝ v³

If the speed is doubled, then the power developed becomes

P ∝ (2)³ = 8 times

Therefore, if the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

alkaline earth metals

Group 2 metals, the alkaline earth metals, have 2 valence electrons, and thus form M2+ ions. The halogens, Group 17 , reach a full valence shell upon reduction, and thus form X− ions
