Answer:

The maximum possible up-thrust on the boat is 11,995.2 N

Explanation:

According to Archimedes' principle, the thrust received by an object immersed a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced;

The given parameter of the boat in sea water are;

The volume of the boat = 1.2 m³

The density of seawater = 1020 kg/m³

Density = Mass/Volume

Therefore, Mass = Density × Volume

The maximum volume of water that the boat displaces = 1.2 m³

The mass of the water displaced by the boat = (Density of seawater) × (Volume of seawater displaced)

∴ The maximum possible mass of the water displaced by the boat = 1.2 m³ × 1020 kg/m³ = 1224 kg

The maximum possible mass of the water displaced by the boat, m = 1224 kg

Weight = Mass, m × g

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The up-thrust on the boat = The weight of the seawater displaced

∴ The maximum possible up-thrust on the boat = m × g = 1224 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 11,995.2 N

The maximum possible up-thrust on the boat = 11,995.2 N.

1. Space probes have not landed on Pluto yet. Describe three types of information you would collect if you were designing the pr
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Space probes are made to conduct science experiments. They do not have people on them. Space probes have helped scientists get information about our solar system. Most probes are not designed to return to Earth. Some have landed on other planets! Others have flown past the planets and taken pictures of them for scientists to see. There are even some space probes that go into orbit around other planets and study them for a long time. The information they gather is used to help us understand the weather and other changes which happen on planets other than the Earth. This information is important in helping to plan other space missions such as ones to Mars and to Saturn.

A laser produces light at 5.32x10-7 m.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

speed = frequency x wavelength

speed of light in vacuum is 3.0 x 10^8

wavelength = 5.32 x10 ^-7

3.0 x 10 ^ 8 = 5.32 x 10^-7 x frequency

frequency = 5.63909 x 10^14

round it off = 5.64 x 10^14 Hz

thus the answer is D

If an object travels 15 metres in 5 seconds, what is the slope of its distance-time graph?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

3 m/s

Explanation:

The slope is distance divided by time, also known as 'speed'.

15 meters / 5 seconds = 3 meters per second.

What temperatures will you find the fourth state of matter?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:Source The core of plasma ranges in temperature from 11,000° – 14,500° Fahrenheit, thus limiting its applicable uses.

Explanation:

As an ionized gas, plasma's electron density is balanced by positive ions and contains a sufficient amount of electrically charged particles to affect its electrical properties and behavior.
