Explanation:

For the equilibrium:

\rho_{wood}gh-\rho_{oil}g(h-x)-\rho_{water}gx=0ρ

wood

gh−ρ

oil

g(h−x)−ρ

water

gx=0

\rho_{wood}h-\rho_{oil}(h-x)-\rho_{water}x=0ρ

wood

h−ρ

oil

(h−x)−ρ

water

x=0

(974)(3.97)-928(3.97-x)-1000x=0(974)(3.97)−928(3.97−x)−1000x=0

x=2.54\ cmx=2.54 cm

A supertanker filled with oil has a total mass of 6.1 x108 kg. If the dimensions of the ship are those of a rectangular box 300
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The bottom of the sea is 25 m below sea level.

Explanation:

Given data

Mass = 6.1 × 10^{8} \ kg

\rho_{sea} = 1020\  \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

We know that Buoyant force on the tank is equal to gravity force of the tank.

F_B = F_g

(\rho_{Fluid}) (g) (V_{disp}) = m g

(\rho_{Fluid})  (V_{disp}) = m

1020 × V_{disp} = 6.1 × 10^{8}

V_{disp} = 598039.21 m^{3}

We know that

V_{disp} = W × L × H

598039.21 = 300 × 80 × H

H = 25 m

Therefore the bottom of the sea is 25 m below sea level.

A 30kg mass is brought from the earth to the moon what is the weight on the earth
ozzi

Answer:

Solution

verified

Verified by Toppr

Given:

Mass of body = 30 kg

gravitational acceleration on the moon = 1.62 m/s

2

Weight of the body on the moon = Mass of the body×gravitational acceleration on the moon=30×1.62=48 N

Hemoglobin (Hb) is the O2-carrying protein in our blood. Unlike myoglobin, it has four sites allowing it to bind up to four O2 m
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Yes, the energy is not simply the sum of the individual binding energies at each site, it is the product of energy at each binding site of hemoglobin.

Explanation:

Myoglobin and hemoglobin are two different cells. Myoglobin binds only one oxygen while the hemoglobin has the ability to binds four oxygen atoms at its four sides. Myoglobin present in muscle tissue only while hemoglobin is present in the whole body. Oxyhemoglobin is formed when oxygen binds with hemoglobin cell. This oxygen is take to all cells and energy is released due to the breakdown of glucose molecules with this oxygen.

A cord is attached to the box and run through a pulley directly above the box, so that the cord is vertical. The free end of the
Harman [31]

Answer:

The answer is given here would be a simplified equation, seeing as there are some missing variables in the question.

<u>F1 = T- 46, 674.656 gm/s² </u>

Explanation:

<em>Note: Once we have the mass of the second object and/or acceleration of the cord, we can solve for the force of the ground acting on the box.</em>

To calculate the force caused by gravity on the basic pulley system we use the following equation:

F2 = M2 x g; where g= gravitational acceleration (a constant equal to 9.8 m/s²). The mass M2 = 10.5 lb = 4762.72g

∴ F2 = 4762.72g x 9.8 m/s²

= 46, 674.656 gm/s² or 46, 674.656 N

But since this F2 is acting in a downlowrd direction, it would be negative.

Tension of the cord, T = Mass, x × acceleration. ( x is in the pulley diagram)

⇒ F1 = T - F2

<u>F1 = T- 46, 674.656 gm/s² </u>
