A 2.8 kg rectangular air mattress is 2.00 m long, 0.500 m wide, and

Physics

kumpel [21]2 years ago

First off, we have to assume that the 2.8 kg mass of the air matress includes both the material that the matress is constructed from and the air that is contained within.

The mattress can support a total weight that is equal to the weight of water that the air matress displaces.

The volume of the air mattress is:

V(mattress) = (2 m)(0.5 m)(0.1 m) = 0.1 m³

This volume is equal to the maximum amount of water that the matress can displace in the water before it begins sinking.

The density of water is 1000 kg / m²

The weight of the maximum amount of displaced water is:

V(matress) * (density of water) * (g) = (0.1 m³) * (1000 kg / m³) * (9.81 m / s²) = 981 N.

Let m represent the mass that the matress is supporting.

The total weight of the matress and the supported mass is:

(2.8 + m) * 9.81

Setting this weight equal to the weight of the water displaced gives:

(2.8 + m) * 9.81 = 981

2.8 + m = 100

m = 100 - 2.8

m = 97.2 kg

Answer:

Explanation:

Essential Knowledge

It is essential that the student be able to distinguish between specialized structures that allow protists and fungi to obtain energy and explore their environment.

Protists

Protists are organisms that are classified into the Kingdom Protista. Although there is a lot of variety within the protists, they do share some common characteristics.

● Protists are usually single celled organisms.

● Live in moist environments.

● Vary in the ways they move and obtain energy.

Protists obtain their energy in several ways.

● Animal-like protists ingest or absorb food after capturing or trapping it.

● Plant-like protists produce food through photosynthesis.

● Fungus-like protists obtain their food by external digestion either as decomposers or as parasites.

● Some protists have both autotrophic and heterotrophic characteristi

How can u tell matched forces act on objects?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,

then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of

these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be a group of forces (two or more) acting on

an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced".  When

that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed

is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line.  In that case, it's not

possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.50, at an angle of incidence of 45°. Calc
balandron [24]

Answer:

Approximately 28^{\circ}.

Explanation:

The refractive index of the air n_{\text{air}} is approximately 1.00.

Let n_\text{glass} denote the refractive index of the glass block, and let \theta _{\text{glass}} denote the angle of refraction in the glass. Let \theta_\text{air} denote the angle at which the light enters the glass block from the air.

By Snell's Law:

n_{\text{glass}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) = n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}}).

Rearrange the Snell's Law equation to obtain:

\begin{aligned} \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) &= \frac{n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}{n_{\text{glass}}} \\ &= \frac{(1.00)\, (\sin(45^{\circ}))}{1.50} \\ &\approx 0.471\end{aligned}.

Hence:

\begin{aligned} \theta_{\text{glass}} &= \arcsin (0.471) \approx 28^{\circ}\end{aligned}.

In other words, the angle of refraction in the glass would be approximately 28^{\circ}.
