a. 6.8 MN
b. 3.5 MN
c. 6.4 MN
d. 9.5 MN
e. 7.1 MN

Answer:

<h2>e. 7.1 MN  approx.</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

density of water= 1000kg/m^3

the dimension of the barge

width= 10m

length= 60m

depth of the boat in the water= 1.2m

Hence the volume occupied by the boat is

volume=10*60*1.2

volume= 720m^2

Step two:

Required is the weight of the barge

we can first find the mass using the relation

density = mass/volume

mass= density*volume

mass= 1000*720

mass= 720000kg

Step three:

Weight =mg

g=9.81m/s^2

W=720000*9.81

W=7063200N

divided by 10^6

W=7.06MN

W=7.1MN approx.

Which of the following statements are true? Select all correct responses. Choose all that apply. Choose all that apply. The tota
Ne4ueva [31]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

-The total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

-The total momentum of any number of particles is equal to the vector sum of the momenta of the individual particles.

-The vector sum of forces acting on a particle equals the rate of change of momentum of the particle with respect to time.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Momentum is a vector quantity, and therefore we need to use vector addition when summing together the momenta of the multiple bodies which make up a system.
  • The vector sum of forces acting on a particle is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum of the particle with respect to time. This is according to the Newton's second Law of motion. In mathematical terms, ֿF = d ֿp/dt, that is F= ma.
  • According to the Law of conservation of Momentum, or a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

4 A magnet can exert a force of attraction or a force of repulsion on another magnet.
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Push -repulsion

Pull - attraction

Explanation:

When two magnets are brought together, a push happens when a force of repulsion is experienced where the magnets move away from each other. This means their polarity is the same and this will cause the magnet to push away from each other.

When two magnets are brought together , a pull happens when a force of attraction is experienced where the magnets move close to each other. This means their polarity is different and thus causes the magnets to pull closer to each other.

A bald eagle is flying to the left with a speed of 34 meters
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the speed after 3 seconds is 10 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the speed is shown below:

As we know that

V = U  + at

Here,

U = 34 m/s

a =  - 8 m/s²

t = 3 Sec

V = velocity after 3 sec

V  = 34 + (-8)3

 = 34 - 24

 V = 10 m/s

Hence, the speed after 3 seconds is 10 m/s

How does metamorphic rock change into another type of metamorphic rock?
Marrrta [24]
Metamorphic rocks are formed by tremendous heat, great pressure, and chemical reactions. To change it into another type of metamorphic rock you have to reheat it and bury it deeper again beneath the Earth's surface.

Hope this helped! :)
